The responsibility of the RSMC Tokyo - Typhoon Center operated is to assist Members of the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee in typhoon forecasting services.
One of the activities of the Center is to hold on-the-job trainings in typhoon operations for forecasters in the region to improve analysis and forecast skills through exchanging views and sharing experiences in the field.
This year, two forecasters, Ms. Wong Sau Ha (Hong Kong Observatory) and Ms. Hu Yihong (National Environment Agency of Singapore) visited the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) from 21 to 30 July 2010 to participate in the tenth Typhoon Committee Training Seminar.
Through the course, two forecasters learned tropical cyclone analysis and forecast, in particular analysis using the SATAID software (satellite viewer program).
