Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
These five regional warning centers are part of the World Meteorological Organization tropical cyclone programme, and act to observe, name, and forecast tropical cyclones in their respective sections of the world, supplementing the work of the main Regional Specialized Meteorological Centres. Since the regional structure does not always coincide with tropical cyclone basins, the tropical cyclone programme established tropical cyclone committees that extend across the regional bodies.[1]
