This website, based at CAWCR, is primarily focused on the exchange of information about forecast tracks for tropical cyclones, including the definition of the Cyclone XML (CXML) data format.

GEOWOW is a 3-year project (2011-2014) co-funded by the EU Seventh Framework Programme to improve access to Earth Observation data via GEOSS (Global Earth Observing Gystem of Systems). The GEOWOW project included implementation of improvements to the TIGGE data portal at ECMWF, including TIGGE-LAM. GEOSS is coordinated by the Group on Earth Observations (GEO).
TIGGE is a project under the auspices of the WMO World Weather Research Programme (WWRP); it was originally set up as major part of the THORPEX research programme to accelerate improvements in weather forecasts of high-impact weather.
Three THORPEX legacy projects have been established to focus on three priority research areas:
Year of Tropical Convection (YOTC) – a joint project of WWRP-THORPEX and WCRP to address the challenge of representing convection in global atmospheric models.
