  10. Facts of Life • NOAC has a small staff with many deployed • C7F sets sortie conditions • NOAC main focus is ASW • Resource protection is NOAC’s “side job” • Timing is very important for morning Typhoon Battle Rhythm in order to support CNFJ morning brief. • NOAC needs to assess • Conference call • Prep brief • People in Japan get very concerned when JTWC says one thing but when they go to JMA’s webpage, they get confused/tense when there is a difference and it leaves NOAC in the uncomfortable position of trying to explain the delta.

  11. Final Thoughts • C7F and CNFJ are generally “Happy” • We appreciate: • Early communications when major changes are expected. • Early Warnings- warn on priority systems first (ie. Storm tracking to make land fall on Japan before one that will make land fall on China) • Not dropping warnings when storm goes extratropical until after passes naval facilities • We need better understanding: • Wind Probabilities products, How to apply to TCCOR Recommendations • Wind Radii Depictions for systems undergoing extra tropical transition • Anticipated rain amounts (minor flooding in housing) • Potential for significant storm surge
