Now that hurricane season is finally over, we can reflect on hurricane season 2013. In May NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE of 2013, the initial hurricane outlook that was issued turned out extremely different from the Dr. Louis Uccellini actual outcome. NOAA is continuously dealing with the cause and effect of climate change NOAA Assistant Administrator for and predicting hurricane seasons is no different. Looking back at 2013, it was predicted Weather Services that our season would be “active or extremely active”. We were expected a 70 percent likelihood of 13 to 20 named storms, of which 7 to 11 could become hurricanes, including EDITORIAL SUPERVISOR 3 to 6 major hurricanes. As it turns out, this year was the sixth least active season in the Paula M.

    Regional Conference on South-East European Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems Kick-off meeting of the project ‘South East European Multi-Hazard Early Warning Advisory System (SEE-MHEWS-A)’ 5th October 2016, Zagreb, Croatia MEETING SUMMARY 1 INTRODUCTION Following the successful conclusion of the project “Building Resilience to Disasters in the Western Balkans and Turkey” in 2014, and responding to the needs identified by the beneficiaries, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in cooperation with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is initiating a new project “South East European Multi-Hazard Early Warning Advisory System” (SEE-MHEWS- A), which aims to strengthen the existing early warning capacity in the region. The Regional Conference on South-East European Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems marked the commencement of the SEE-MHEWS-A project. The Regional Conference comprised of three events including: 1. Project kick-off meeting on 5th October 2016; 2. Workshop on Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) on 6-7th October 2016; 3. Informal Conference of SEE Directors of NMHSs (ICSEED) meeting on 6-7 October 2016. The objectives of the conference were to: 1. Introduce the SEE-MHEWS-A project and its first phase of implementation; 2. Establish commitment to the project by the Directors of the Hydrometeorological Services; 3. Provide training on CAP implementation; 4. Establish cooperative foundation for project implementation. Kick-off meeting of the project was hosted by the Meteorological and Hydrological Service of Croatia and was attended by 73 experts from potential project beneficiaries and stakeholders (participant list is attached as the Annex I). 2 DESCRIPTION OF THE MEETING 2.1 Opening Session The welcoming addresses of the SEE-MHEWS-A kick-off meeting on 5 th October were given by Mr.

It is the replacement for the ISCS satellite broadcast, which will be terminated 30 June 2012. ISCS user States must switch to WIFS to have access to OPMET and WAFS products after June 30, 2012. This paper relates to: Strategic Objectives: A. Safety – Enhance global civil aviation safety D. Efficiency – Enhance the efficiency of aviation operations Global Plan Initiatives: GPI-18 Aeronautical information GPI-19 Meteorological Systems 1. Introduction 1.1 The Sub Group will recall that the WAFS Internet File Server (WIFS) was first introduced to the CNS/MET SG at Meeting 13 in Working Paper 29. From that paper the following draft conclusion was adopted: Draft Conclusion 13/31 – Extension of the ISCS-G2 and the implementation of the WAFS Internet file server (WIFS) That, WAFC Washington Provider State advise the ISCS user States about its intentions to: CNS/MET SG/14-WP/36 - 2 - Agenda Item 8 (1) 19/07/10 a) continue to work on extending the current ISCS-G2 service through 30 June 2012 to allow users sufficient time for transition to replacement services; and b) provide an operational WAFS Internet File Server (WIFS) by March 2010.
