Shipboard Tropical Cyclone Applications Software System for the Western North Pacific Ocean.

Abstract

The shipboard Tropical Cyclone Applications Software System (TCASS) is described. TCASS is a set of microcomputer programs which displays and evaluates the tropical cyclone wind threat to a ship or unit. Tropical cyclone wind probability forecast methods for the western North Pacific Ocean, based on statistical analyses of historical tropical cyclone forecast errors, are used within TCASS. If the tropical cyclone wind threat exceeds a predefined threshold level, an alternative routing procedure is invoked to reduce the threat level. Applications of the software are provided, and examples of the resulting output are included. (Author)
