Looking for official global tropical cyclone advisories?

I know it's been posted before, but we have so many new posters that I feel a refresh is on order.

The following website is the official center for global advisories on tropical cyclones -- straight from the RSMCs worldwide to the WMO.

Use it... abuse it... tell your parents about it...

You forgot the TCWCs Senor. :wink:

(Unless you want the Australians, Papua New Guineaians, and New Zealanders after you...)

As I said to you last night you can track all TCs just using that page which makes it the only link you really need.

Oh and there are sound files for most NW Pacific names which is helpful, as well as classification scales for each basin.

Right, ...and TCWCs too!

I wouldn't want them Southerners after me for excluding them!

As P.K. said... this site is truly all you need when it somes for advisories.

Plus, I know many of you (including myself) have a hard time remembering those other classification scales or pronouncing those foreign names.

One thing to point out... since the rest of the world using the WMO-standard 10-minute average wind speed... not the US-standard 1-minute average... you will have to convert.

A good approximation is 1-min = 10-min x 1.14

Therefore, if the official advisory from JMA says 100KT, that would be roughly 114KT by the US standard.

Or if you follow the BoMs advice the conversion is 0.871, or 1.148 if people get confused that I convert slightly differently to others. :lol:

Oh and there is a great table on the BoMs site comparing all scales, although its only approximate. Also note that for the RSMC New Delhi names it should say Depression and then Deep Depression, not sure where this Severe Depression name has come from. http://www.bom.gov.au/catalogue/warnings/WarningsInformation_TC_Ed.shtml

i.e.

1min * .871 = 10min

10min * 1.148 = 1min

I always have to sit down and think about which way I'm going, and therefore should I use the big number or small number? This should make it easier for people who find it easier if something is written out like this 8-)

Abuse it huh, No problem

I just worked out that to compare to the other approximation.

Ten minute to one minute: Divide by 0.871
One minute to ten minute: Multiply by 0.871

Or just use the other approximation.

Got confused a bit there, didn't remember posting at 5:42am this morning when I was asleep. :lol:

It's the same calculation as converting between mph and kts, so it's pretty easy to remember.

Haha... sorry about that, P.K. I was skimming through threads and found this one. When I got to the bottom, I noticed a link to "bump the thread." When bumping the thread, I guess the forum automatically takes the latest post and resets it to the "bumped" time.
