This is because a great many ships do not include a valid call sign in their reports; the call sign may be missing or invalid. When this occurs, Midas will substitute the call sign value “SHIP”. Measurements are taken worldwide from sea based stations (ships, rigs, platforms and moored buoys).  The SHIP message contains observed elements such as weather, cloud, temperature, precipitation, wind, visibility, and pressure.",
