Interesting: TC Winston: Most intense with post event sustained winds of 160kts. TC Winston: Vanuabalavu AWS observation - 120kts/ 165 kts. TC Winston affected Tonga twice. TC Tatiana: though it moved in RSMC Nadi AOR, TCWC Brisbane continued to provide the warning (RSMC Nadi monitoring TC Winston). TC Winston moved in TCWC Wellington AOR, RSMC Nadi maintained issuance of warning due to forecast for it to recurve.

26 20 Days :06/02 25/02 Max Mean : 135 knots TC Formation: 00Z-11/02 Affected: Tonga, Fiji Though TC Winston went into TCWC Wellington s AOR, RSMC Nadi allowed to maintain issuance of warning because it was expected to re-curve back to Fiji.
27 Though it crossed the 160ºE, TCWC Brisbane monitored the system. RSMC monitoring TC Winston

34 * At peak intensity Zenahad sustained winds estimated at about 90 kts. * The most intense rainfall was measured by GPM's radar (DPR) falling the amazing rate of almost 300 mm per hour * Global models: Pass through Tonga as a Cat 2 system. * High wind shear Disrupt Zena *Later stages, TC on paper not on ground due to Dvorak Constraint Q: In special instances, can we do away with paper rules(dvorak Constraints) and rely on ground observations?
35 1. Ula 2. Victor 3. Winston Affected Tonga twice 4. Amos Favourable conditions to sustain itself due to the relatively warm SST. Dead fish along the Coral Coast in Fiji prior to TC Winston formation.
36 System Monitor Named days monitored prior Tuni 24/11/ /11/ Ula 24/12/ /12/ Victor 11/01/ /01/ Winston 06/02/ /01/ Amos 15/04/ /04/ Lifespan Dvorak rule of normal development of 1 T No / Day, then system at the most have to be monitored at the most 3 day prior to TC formation. Systems live and sustain themselves on their own, not our rules
37 Active SPCZ means more system to monitor. Consequently makes monitoring drag on for more days
38 1. Increasing absence (number and quality) of surface and upper-air observations in the SW Pac region. 2. Significant increase of media (number and frequency) interest and coverage which our forecasters need to respond too, noting that they have little or no formal training. 3. Real-time dialogue and feedback to RSMC Nadi from NMHSs during TC events partnership in early warning and during events. Appreciation: -Tonga Winston, Ula. -Samoa/A.Samoa Tuni, Victor, Amos. -Niue Winston, Tuni, Victor, Ula. 4. Cross border understanding TC Winston(NZ) and TC Tatiana(Brisbane)
39 1. NMSs must upgrade their own synoptic obs network to required standards to support regional routine and severe weather forecasting needs. 2. Training workshops for forecasters on media skills is highly sought for forecasters now on the operational bench. 3. NMSs must engage in open dialogue as well as provide feedback to Nadi on ops matters during TC events Already but can improve further. 4.Capacity developing in SIDs through short attachments of personnel or formal exchange of skills/tools between SIDs and our developed counterparts. 5. WMO to consider introduction of ISO standards and competency for Tropical Cyclone Warning services. 6. More broad based research mechanics of TC and how it responds to its environment.
