1 Preparation of WC SIGMET Case studies C.M. Shun Hong Kong Observatory Hong Kong, CHINA

2 Recap Where to obtain information TCAC Satellite / radar imageries, satellite derived products, NWP When to issue Tropical cyclone intensity 34 knots or above Entered or expected to enter FIR/CTA within 12 hours How to prepare (Be patient! Check out the 2 cases in the following slides) Whom to send ATS, ROBEX centre, etc. When to renew/cancel Renew At least every 6 hours Cancel Tropical cyclone weakening Tropical cyclone moving out of FIR/CTA
