The Nausikkak Meteorological Collaboration is an international cooperative organization and warning agency with membership from various nations on the continent of Nausikkak. The NMC is composed of member organizations which are national warning centers of cooperating nations and the Tropical Cyclone Center in Zeilunavka, Solea, which warn independently of each other but cooperate under similar standards for increased preparation against and communication during weather-related dangers.

The NMC also has an array of low Univeralis orbiting satellites which collect data and measurements on soil, vegetation, seawater, wind, and aerosols.

Cyclone scale

Cyclones' intensities in the South Serkr Ocean basin are officialy measured in Soleani units rounded to the nearest five. Wind speed measurements are also converted to international units for both official and public use, in advisories issued by the Saelunavvk Tropical Cyclone Center.
