The Liverpool England Meteorological Service is a branch of the Liverpool England government's Ministry of Internal Affairs, with a further branch of the Met Service, the Heartland Hurricane Prediction Centre, being run in co-ordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as well as the Kompa Ru government.

Brief history

The Met Service first started in 2030, based in CCL. In 2130, the Met Service moved to new headquarters in Folenisa, with weather offices in Orean, Schimpol and on HPD 26. Two years later, in December 2132, the Hurricane Prediction Centre was declared open, its headquarters co-located with the Orean Weather Office.

Forecasters

The forecasters working with the main Meteorological Service who act as the backup to the Hurricane Prediction Centre if at any time political concerns, or otherwise diffculties, are faced by the main centre.

  • Michael Rhysnolan
  • Hector Javi
  • Lt-Gen. Thomas Irwin

Hurricane Prediction Centre

The Hurricane Prediction Centre, set up in 2132, warned on its first storm in 2133, and has since expanded to having offices in Cyclonesville as well as overseas, in Lunar City, Kompa Ru. The Hurricane Prediction Centre is activated whenever a tropical cyclone threatens to form, or is active.

In 2140, after just two storms had formed early in the year, the government decided to temporarily close the MSHPC in a budget cut. The MSHPC reopened in late 2142 with a new director.

Forecasters

The forecasters who work at the Hurricane Prediction Centre are tasked with releasing advisories, and on occasion where Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre (Lox Land Island Weather Observatory) is unable to issue advisories, the MSHPC will release them on behalf of TCWC LLIWO.

  • Mike Johns (Director) - Johns does not usually issue advisories. The last advisory he issued as a forecaster was in 2140, before taking the position of director in 2142, when the MSHPC restarted.
  • Dr. Francis Calts (Chief Advisor) - Calts is Chief Advisor, and while he does release advisory/discussions once in a while, his main job focuses on TWU releases. Calts most recently released an advisory for Hurricane Yuri.
  • Prof. Luke Kristjan Hunter (Chief Forecaster) - Hunter is Chief Forecaster, meaning he oversees issuances of most advisories.
  • Alfonso Rindli
  • Richard Johnson
  • Nils Laval
  • Friedrich Günther
  • Søldrup Krasner Jarvinen
