1. For our further collaborative relationship between NHMS Viet Nam and JMA Japan Meteorological Agency Shuji NISHIMURA, Yoshiro TANAKA, Arata OKUYAMA December 2015

2. The reason why we came here? To share skills and knowledge for satellite data utilization with many Viet Nam NHMS staff. JMA would like NHMS to fully utilize HimawariCast system and to enjoy maximum benefit of Himawari-8/9 using SATAID. However, satellite data utilization is only a part of our possible collaboration.

3. Good relationship between NHMS & JMA NHMS and JMA has established close relationship. Satellites Telecommunications Climate Radar Tropical Cyclones Etc. Q. Why do we collaborate? A. Because we believe this is Good

4. WMO RAII & RAV Joint WIGOS Project Improving Radar Data for DRR (discussed in Jakarta, October 2015) Proposed Overall goals: Improvement of data quality of existing radars Development and expansion of national radar network Near real time International exchange of radar data Development of sub-regional radar data center(s)
