	Joint Typhoon Warning Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The JTWC is responsible for the issuing of tropical cyclone warnings in the North West Pacific Ocean, South Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean for United States Department of Defense interests.
		The beginning of the formation of a typhoon warning center in the Pacific occurred in the wake of Typhoon Cobra in December 18, 1944.
		JTWC was originally established in 1959 at Nimitz Hill, Guam combined the efforts of the former naval centers located in Guam, Hawaii, and the Philippines with the Air Force center in Japan.

	Typhoon Vamei
		By 21 December, the center of the vortex had moved off the coast to be over water, where the open sea region in the southern end of the South China Sea narrows to about 500 km with Borneo to the east and the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra to the west.
		While the vortex center remained in the narrow equatorial sea region, the strong northeasterly surge persisted, and was slightly deflected to the northwest of the vortex.
		The distribution of the frequencies of vortex centers in four sub-regions near the northwestern coast of Borneo is superimposed on the diagram.

		A: A supertyphoon is the name given to a typhoon that has sustained near-surface wind speeds of 149 mph or higher.
		Typhoons form in the Western North Pacific Ocean and are the same type of storm as hurricanes.
		Located in Hawaii, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center is the U.S. Department of Defense agency responsible for issuing tropical cyclone warnings for the Pacific and Indian Oceans.

		The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), Pearl Harbor Hawaii, is responsible for providing tropical cyclone forecasts to the United States Department of Defense, and Department of State for the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
		JTWC is working with the Navy Research Lab and Roger Edson to develop better techniques to interpret microwave imagery and scatterometer data within the operational tropical cyclone analysis process.
		JTWC is engaged in ongoing collaborative efforts with NASA National Space Science and Technology Center and the Colorado State University CIRA on use of AMSU data for tropical cyclone analysis and forecasting.

	JOINT TYPHOON WARNING CENTER SPEECH
		Thirty-six years after the Joint Typhoon Warning Center was formed, the Base Realignment and Closure Commission directed that the JTWC be relocated from Guam to Hawaii.
		You of the JTWC were instrumental in providing critical forecasts to the White House and State Department that were used in the relocation of the relief forces.
		Your crucial typhoon warnings to U.S. Embassies and to USPACOM forces have always enabled our ships, aircraft and shore facilities to take the necessary precautions to minimize damage from "the perfect storm." On behalf of the U.S. Pacific Command, past and present, and all my predecessors from 1959 onward, thank you for your outstanding work.

		In 1991 Typhoon Mireille (Joint Typhoon Warning Center, Guam classified it as a Super Typhoon, but the term Super Typhoon is not widely recognized, see the Hong Kong link) was one of the worst typhoons to strike Japan.
		This was reflected in the 160600Z warning which upgraded the intensity to 45 kts (23 m/s) and identified the system as very compact and rapidly intensifying.

		Typhoon numbers are typhoon names after number-based conventions, and the counter starts to increase from the beginning of the typhoon season in January.
		For example, Typhoon 200413 in Japan was Typhoon 200414 in China, and this is also caused by the same reason.
		If you compare typhoon information issued from multiple countries, please check the international typhoon number (Asian names of typhoons) or the central position, and be careful not to mix up typhoons.
