The Eighth JCOMM-TCP Workshop on Storm Surge and Wave Forecasting (SSW-8) was held at the Institute for Meteorological Training and Research (IMTR), Nairobi, Kenya, from 19 to 23 November 2012.
This series of workshop is co-organized by the Joint WMO-IOC Technical Commission for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology (JCOMM) and the WMO Tropical Cyclone Programme (TCP), with a view to enhancing capacities of the National Hydrological and Meteorological Services (NMHSs) in providing necessary forecasting and warning services against natural marine hazards that complement broader disaster preparedness and mitigation activities. Noting the emerging issue of recurrent coastal inundation by storm surges particularly in the South and East African coast, the eighth Workshop is convened with a regional focus on South and East African countries, and aims to directly contribute to the development of the Storm Surge Watch Scheme (SSWS) of WMO.Collection(s) and Series: Technical publications JCOMM Technical Report- No. 68

Technical Report Series, 01. Climate and Meteorological information requirements for water management : a review of issues
In providing better understanding between climate and water management, this review will, where relevant, adopt the approach of a SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats). As well as some recent initiatives noted in the preceding section, the basic data requirements and methods for water management are covered in the WMO Guide to Hydrological Practices (Ref. 7). In Volume I, Chapters 2, 3 and 4 deal with the climate observations required for water management, whilst Volume II deals with applications and management activities. Table II.4.1 from that publication is a part ...

In providing better understanding between climate and water management, this review will, where relevant, adopt the approach of a SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats). As well as some recent initiatives noted in the preceding section, the basic data requirements and methods for water management are covered in the WMO Guide to Hydrological Practices (Ref. 7). In Volume I, Chapters 2, 3 and 4 deal with the climate observations required for water management, whilst Volume II deals with applications and management activities. Table II.4.1 from that publication is a particularly useful reference point. This table itemises the various data requirements from the hydrological cycle, which apply to different water sector applications. Not all are meteorological or climatological in nature, so the aim of this review is to concentrate on those that are. This review aims to identify the fundamental gaps and weaknesses that fail to produce the desired synergies between climate, meteorology and water management. It is evident that there is much debate and effort being expended with the intention of matching practical capacities with the theoretical requirements, but consideration of the broad range of applications for which meteorological can apply to water management can help to justify the effort.

All participants were warmly welcomed by Dr Mark E. Workman, Provost of the UNF, who expressed his satisfaction to hold this important meeting in the international era at UNF. Dr Workman emphasized the importance of the research and application of meteorology and oceanography to human life, particularly to ensure safety against the natural disaster, and applauded the efforts made by the Group and associated programmes..
The Meeting has focused on: Review of ongoing National Sub-Project in Bangladesh and Dominican Republic, in order to provide advice on their future course of action; Technical recommendation on conceptual design of a CIFDP system; Review and revision of the Project concept and the Implementation Plan
The outcome of the meeting also included the recommendation as to the technical development of the CIFDP in the sub-projects. At the last day of the meeting, the Group , and finally the decisions relating to the management of the Steering Group, including its Terms of Reference, and agreed on the actions tasked to each and all members.Details of the discussion are described below.

JCOMM Technical Report, 64. Coastal inundation forecasting demonstration project - Implementation plan
Coastal disasters are a major threat to the people whose lives and livelihoods depend on safety and socio-economic development in low-lying, highly-populated coastal areas. They include storm surges and wind-induced waves associated with severe cyclones, and their combined effect with river flooding, leading to coastal inundation. Risk management for such coastal disasters represents a great challenge to scientists and policy makers in Meteorology, Hydrology, Oceanography, Emergency Management and Coastal Planning. In particular, recognizing this extreme vulnerability of coastal areas to storm ...
