6 SOUTH PACIFIC TC ADVISORY SYSTEM STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT 1. TROPICAL DISTURBANCE 2. TROPICAL DEPRESSION 3. TROPICAL CYCLONE with A) GALE intensity, - average winds knots. B) STORM intensity, - average winds knots C) HURRICANE intensity, - average winds over 63 knots. ( Usually referred to as HURRICANE ). Note: Winds averaged over 10 minutes
7 SOUTH PACIFIC TC ADVISORY SYSTEM BULLETINS SPECIAL WEATHER BULLETIN contains public ALERTS & WARNINGS. SPECIAL ADVISORY BULLETIN for Samoa & Vanuatu TROPICAL DISTURBANCE ADVISORY Advisory on TCs & TDs TROPICAL DISTURBANCE SUMMARY Summary of significant distrubances (including TCs) in region
8 SOUTH PACIFIC TC ADVISORY PHASES SYSTEM Early Information Phase (beyond 48 hrs) - provide information on TC development or movement beyond 48 hrs threat period. ALERT Phase (24-48 hrs lead time) - Alert people of possible TC threat within next hour period. WARNING Phase (within 24 hrs) - Warning for people to take precautions on impending threat within 24 hours.

30 TRAINING Training Courses conducted under JICA Third Country Training Programme 5 years of training completed years training under way with last training to be conducted in Feb Submission to JICA already made for next (3-year) training programme in meteorology. Attachment Training to RSMC Nadi - From Tonga & Niue (2007) - From Samoa & Cook Is (2009) - From Vanuatu (2010?)
31 TRAINING Training of RSMC Nadi Forecasters - Secondment of Australian TC forecasters to RSMC Nadi under AusAID funding - TC module training by Australian expert. - Participation in WMO organised and coordinated training e.g. - WMO SH Training on TCs & PWS (2007, 2009) - Training organised by METEO France.
32 OTHER ACTIVITIES Severe Weather Forecast & DRR Demonstration Project (SWFDRDP) First Phase involves 4 countries: Fiji, Samoa, Solmon Is, Vanuatu RSMC Nadi-TCC to provide TC Advisory to 3-5 days. Tsunami EWS FMS/RSMC to participate in Joint Tsunami Warning Centre activities. Disaster Awareness Ongoing programme Climate Change Participation in Climate Change Awareness
33 Recent & Planned Improvements 1) FIMS Upgrade Project - Following upgrades completed: Main servers upgrade (Dec 08) Satellite receiving systems upgrade MTSAT upgrade (Mar 08) GOES upgrade (July 09) Comms Upgrade (Dec 08 July 09) HRPT upgrade (July 09) TC Module Upgrade (Mar 09) TC Module Training (July 09)
34 Recent & Planned Improvements 2) Climate Network Upgrade (on-going) 3) Outstation Upgrade (on-going) 4) Weather Radar for Fiji s Northern Division (to be completed 2010) 5) Flood Early Warning System Two rivers near completion equipment installed, comms under way. Three other rivers being considered.
35 RSMC Nadi Problems & Needs 1. Severe Staffing constraints - Training of meteorologists 3-4 per year for next 3 years Staff supplementation 2. Regular Upgrade needed to Fiji Integrated Met System (FIMS) 3. Forecasting tools needed for Storm surge and wave Heavy rainfall/flash floods 4. Limited equipment maintenance capability - Training required for electronic technicians. 5. Need for development of Multi-hazard Early Warning System. 6. RSMC Nadi website needs major upgrading to cope with user demands. This includes computer facilities to host the site and a mirror site. 7. Need to implement quality management system under way for aviation.
36 Recommended Needs 1. Meteorologist training a very high priority o o Limited Training opportunities only BOM and NZMSL Lack of scholarships a major constraint 2. Regional synoptic observation network and reporting schedule needs urgent improvement to meet required standards and increasing demands for information. 3. Improvement needed in communications for effective delivery of warnings and information Between RSMC and NMSs GTS, backup communications, EMWIN NMS to Users/Public TV & Radio broadcast, RANET, Website access, autofax, vice-recorded bulletins via telephone, marine radio broadcast.
37 Recommended Needs 5. Feedback on RSMC Nadi performance NMS encouraged to report on operational matters including warning/advisory services 6. Improved access to TC impact data & reports. NMSs to make extra efforts to collect and forward TC impact data and reports to RSMC Nadi for compilation and action to WMO 7. In-service training for meteorologists/forecasters and support staff on new observing, analysis and forecasting techniques and products 8. Regular consultation with stakeholders to determine changing user requirements and priorities for enhancement of national/regional services. 9. General education and awareness on probabilistic forecast. Consensus forecast Storm tide (consists of normal astronomical tide + storm surge + wave setup) TC Categories and corresponding effects (Australian Categories 1 to 5)
