The ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee (TC) at its 56th Session decided to convene the 19th Integrated Workshop (19th IWS) in 2024. According to the approved Mechanism and Updated List of Annual Sessions, as well as the updated Mechanism List approved by the Committee at the 52nd Online Session hosted by Hong Kong, China, the 19th IWS will be hosted by the China Meteorological Administration. It is scheduled to be held at Lin-gang Center, Shanghai, China, from 19–22 November 2024. The theme for the 19th IWS is "Strengthening the Value Chain within the UN EW4All Framework for the Typhoon Committee Region."
The IWS serves as an annual event for Typhoon Committee members to review the TC's progress and activities. This review involves the Advisory Working Group (AWG) and the three TC Working Groups (WGs) on Meteorology, Hydrology, and Disaster Risk Reduction. The aim is to assess the past year's work and develop plans for the upcoming year.
With the kind invitation of the Asia-Pacific Typhoon Collaborative Research Center (AP-TCRC), the AP-TCRC is organizing a one-day technical forum in conjunction with the 19th IWS. This technical forum allows international experts to present research topics and potential operational applications. The main theme of the AP-TCRC Forum is “Embracing New Technologies for Achieving Early Warnings for All."
This website is to provide the TC Member an easy access to documents related to the 19th Integrated Workshop/AP-TCRC Forum.
