Training and Research Under the Typhoon Committee
ABSTRACT: The ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee Training and Research Coordination Group (TRCG), formerly known as the Typhoon Research Coordination Group, has served Members of the Typhoon Committee for more than 20 years. As evident from the change of its name, TRCG has since extended its scope of activ...
