Abstract

ABSTRACT. The Tropical Cyclone Programmes of WMO was established to assist the many affected countries of the world in mitigating the impacts of tropical cyclones, through the development of their capabilities in monitoring, forecasting and disaster prevention and preparedness. The paper discusses the factors which have together led to significant progress in this regard. These include the organization and structure of the Programme, the systems and technologies in place, and the mechanisms for training and regional cooperation among the countries of the tropical cyclone basins. Specific tropical cyclone research and operational issues of concern are also presented.
