In April, TCS circulated letter ( TCS/138-2010 ) asking Members’ cooperation to provide tidal data & bathymetric data to RSMC Tokyo. As of 31 st August, Tidal data: 4 Members (Hong Kong, Macao, Philippines, Viet Nam) Bathymetric data: 3 Members (Hong Kong, Macao, Viet Nam) have been provided to RSMC Tokyo. Currently, RSMC Tokyo is considering specifications (target areas, resolutions etc.) of storm surge distribution map for TC Members. In 2010 ( According to WGM AOP 2010)

In 2011 and forward From 2011 typhoon season, RSMC Tokyo plans to provide storm surge distribution maps through its Numerical Typhoon Prediction (NTP) website, dedicated website to support NMHS concerned ( https://tynwp-web.kishou.go.jp/). From 2012 typhoon season, RSMC Tokyo plans to provide storm surge time series charts at one point for each TC Member (forecasting points to be increased in due course). Storm surge training will be conducted during the annual TC attachment training at RSMC Tokyo from 2011.
