Abstract: Tropical cyclone research from the operational, applied view-point falls into two categories?forecasting research and decision-making research. One aspect of the latter is the typhoon haven evaluations being done by the ...

Abstract: Twenty-five years of tropical storm and typhoon data for the western North Pacific (1945?69) were evaluated to determine the geographic and seasonal variation of those tropical cyclones which rapidly intensified over the ...

Abstract: Typhoons of the western North Pacific Ocean are examined to determine the effects on tropical cyclones of cooler surface waters due to upwelling and mixing produced by a prior tropical cyclone. The results show that both ...

Abstract: The meteorologist in the navy is rarely the decision maker. The meteorological information that is produced by model output or remotely sensed data has to be presented in a more tactically relevant form before being applied ...

Abstract: Fifteen years of typhoon data (1953?67) were evaluated to determine the general character of the ?Fuji-whara effect? with respect to the separation distance between two interacting tropical cyclones. The results show that ...

Abstract: Thirty typhoons (1960?70) are examined to determine the effect of the Philippines an the intensity, speed of movement, and size characteristics of tropical cyclones crossing the Philippines. The results show an average ...

Abstract: Twenty-five years of tropical cyclone data (1945?69) for the western North Pacific were evaluated to determine the, speed-of-movement characteristics of tropical storms and typhoons following recurvature. The results show ...

Abstract: Tropical cyclone forecast improvements in the western North Pacific are examined in terms of Department of Defense decision making (evacuation, sortie, preparedness, etc.). The improved decisions are then related directly ...

Abstract: Twenty-two typhoons (1960?72) are examined to determine the effect of Taiwan on the intensity and movement of tropical cyclones crossing the island. The results show an average intensity (maximum surface wind) decrease of ...

Abstract: A method to predict 24 h movement of tropical cyclones using consecutive daily satellite views is described. The method is based on the observation that changes in the location of major structural features of the storm are ...
