Tropical cyclone operational plan for the South-West Indian Ocean: 2006 edition
This publication discusses all aspects of the tropical cyclone operational plan. It includes chapters covering: General information, the observing system and observing programmes, tropical cyclone analysis and forecasting, tropical cyclone advisories and warnings, exchange of information, quality control and monitoring, and tropical cyclone information services.
The development of national and regionally coordinated systems for the detection, monitoring, forecasting and warning of tropical cyclones is one of the primary objectives of the WMO Tropical Cyclone Programme. The RA I Tropical Cyclone Committee for the South-West Indian Ocean expressed the view that a tropical cyclone operational plan would be instrumental in improving these systems by strengthening the coordination and enhancing the cooperative effort in its region. It also felt that an operational plan would be a valuable source of information for the operational services.
