Before a depression is recognised, it is usually tagged an "INVEST" storm - an area of low pressure with the potential to strengthen into a cyclone. INVESTs are tracked by the MSHPC's satellite bureau in Kompa Ru with advisories, called Tropical Weather Updates effective 2142 (formerly known as INVEST trackers), on potential systems every 12 hours.
