206 (Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)
Antoine Lasserre-Bigorry, Météo-France, Toulouse Cedex, France; and J. N. Degrace, M. F. Voidrot Martinez, and E. Arbogast
As tropical cyclones may affect some french overseas territories, Meteo France had to provide its forecasters with a dedicated tool to help them tracking and forecasting these phenomena. In this presentation we will show how we introduced in the “Synergie” forecasters workstation a special piece of software that can combine every type of information - from satellite and radar data to NWP and RSMC products - in order to make an easier and more comprehensive cyclone analysis and forecast, and to issue specific text or graphic products.
