Published by: WMO ; 2012The first WMO International Workshop on Satellite Analysis of Tropical Cyclones (IWSATC) was organized by the WMO Tropical Cyclone Programme (TCP) in collaboration with the WMO World Weather Research Programme (WWRP), and the World Data Center (WDC) for Meteorology which is maintained by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The main purpose of IWSATC is to increase the accuracy and reliability of satellite analyses of tropical cyclones (TCs) by sharing the latest knowledge and techniques amongst operational forecasters of the major warning centers and researchers. The organizers also envisaged the creation of a cross linkage between IWSATC and workshops of the International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS). In this regard, the first IWSATC was held back to back with the second IBTrACS workshop.
