CONCLUSION
The strong SW monsoon heavy rainfall from Bay
Bengal is associated with Tropical disturbances
caused frequently severe flooding and flash flood in
Cambodia.
For today not real-time of meteorological data for
analyzing and monitoring the weather situation on the
Cambodia region.Means of Meteorological networks,
communication as well as upper air observation
needs to establish.
Improvement of forecasting capacity in the near
feature:
Installation of Automatic Weather Station, Data
transmission system.
Improvement of tropical cyclone monitoring capability.
Improvement of precision of rainfall monitoring.
Upgrade of forecasts and warnings during severe
weather conditions.

CHAPTER 1 - TYPHOON COMMITTEE ACTIVITIES
CHINA
1. Progress on Key Result Area 1: Reduced Loss
of Life from Typhoon-related Disasters.(List
progress on the Strategic Goals and Associated
Activities in the Strategic Plan and progress on
the 2009 Typhoon Committee Annual Operating
Plan goals)
a. Meteorological Achievements/Results
Improvement in Typhoon Warning System
In 2009, Meteorological establishments servicing
5 provinces issued 234 typhoon warnings and 127
typhoon alarm signals on their potential impacts
during the typhoon season. Additionally, 1926 TC
warning messages (SMS) were disseminated via
mobile phone networks to about 466 million people.
The other means of dissemination include TV, radio,
electronic display screens, newspapers, dedicated
telephone (phone number 12121),,weather websites,
community-targeted broadcasts & SMS, marine radio,
DAB alarm radios and meteorological information
delivery by volunteers etc.
Improvement in TC warning and advisories
In order to improve the time validity of the operational
typhoon forecasts and early warnings, National
Meteorological Centre (NMC) began to issue official
forecasts for 96-hour TC tracks in 2009, and it
conducted operational experiment on 120-hour TC
track forecasting. NMC will issue operational 120hour
TC track forecasts starting from the next year.
Revision of Typhoon Operation Standard
In order to meet the refined services and demands of
national agencies and general public for TC-induced
disaster prevention and preparedness, CMA revised
typhoon operation standard in 2009 and it plans to
put into operation in the next typhoon season. The
revised contents mainly include:
The TC warning zone has been enlarged, including
the whole South China Sea, waters east of Taiwan,
China and the sea east of the Luzon Island.
The forecasts for all depressions developed over the
Western North Pacific and the South China Sea will
be issued starting from the next year.
Intensive upper observations during any emergency.
b. Hydrological Achievements/Results
To enhance flood alert and prediction capacity,
the Hydrological Bureau under the Ministry of
Water Resources upgraded existing operational
