Typhoon committee operational manuel: meteorological component
In order to implement the RSMC Tokyo - Typhoon Center in the Typhoon Committee region, the Regional Co-operation Programme was discussed and adopted by the Typhoon Committee at its Extraordinary Session (Manila, March 1986). At the same time, the Committee approved a draft of the Typhoon Committee Operational Manual which specifies in more detail the extent and type of activity of the RSMC Tokyo - Typhoon Center and shows the direction of realizing the regional co-operation between Members.
The Operational Manual consists of the text and the appendices. Items included in the text relate to the Typhoon Committee agreement, in particular, basic information for executing meteorological operation, whilst the appendices contain national practices and procedures (it is felt that the Member concerned should have the right to be able to change without having to get prior formal agreement of the Typhoon Committee) together with detailed and technical information for meteorological operation. Information described in WMO official publications such as Manuals is only referred to and not included in this Manual.
