The WMO Integrated Processing and Prediction System (WIPPS) is organizing the second webinar to introduce the benefits and considerations of AI-based tropical cyclone track products for operational forecasting. The Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) will share their experience on the trial use of AI-based tropical cyclone forecasting and also introduce a relevant initiative of the UNESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee. ECMWF will introduce new WIPPS products of IFS-based tropical low/cyclone vortex forecasts on WIS2.0 and AIFS-based TC track forecasts on ecChart.
The webinar will be conducted twice on the same day: *Option 1: 08:00–09:30 UTC, and *Option 2: 14:00–15:30 UTC. The event will be held in English with simultaneous interpretation into French and Spanish, providing ample opportunity for participants to engage and ask questions. More information, including instructions for registration, presentation materials, and recordings of previous webinars, is available at https://community.wmo.int/en/wipps-webinar.
