"Climate Change and Southern Hemisphere Tropical Cyclones" International Initiative – Progress since the First International Conference on Indian Ocean Tropical Cyclones and Climate Change - Monitoring and Prediction of Tropical Cyclones in the Indian Ocean and Climate Change - page 29

Acknowledgement
Since establishing “Climate Change and Southern Hemisphere Tropical
Cyclones” International Initiative in 1999, its various aspects were supported
by the Australian Greenhouse Office and the Laboratory of the Atmosphere
and Cyclones at the University of La Réunion and Météo-France. The
meteorological services of Australia, Fiji, France and New Zealand provided
the TC best track data for the areas of responsibilities of RSMC La Réunion,
RSMC Nadi and TCWCs Brisbane, Darwin, Perth and Wellington. Author
thanks Philippe Caroff, Jim Davidson and Steve Ready for discussions on quality
of regional TC data sets, and expresses his gratitude to his colleagues Andrew
Dowdy, Robert Fawcett, David Jones, John McBride, Hamish Ramsay, Blair
Trewin, Roald de Wit and Fabrice Chane-Ming for significant contribution to
research outcomes achieved under the Initiative over the past two years. The
research discussed in this presentation was conducted with the partial support
of the Pacific Climate Change Science Program (PCCSP) and Pacific-Australia
Climate Change Science and Adaptation Planning programme (PACCSAP),
which are supported by the Australian Agency for International Development
(AusAID), in collaboration with the Department of Climate Change and Energy
Efficiency (DCCEE), and delivered by the Bureau of Meteorology and the
Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO).
