Abstract: Typhoon Kate (1970) formed, developed and reached major (50 m s?1) typhoon intensity while remaining at or equatorward of 5°N, normally considered as the extreme latitude of minimal tropical cyclone formation. The climatology ...
Tropical Cyclone Minimum Sea Level Pressure/Maximum Sustained Wind Relationship for the Western North Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Determining the proper relationship between the minimum sea level pressures and maximum sustained winds in tropical cyclones has been a long-standing problem. The major obstacle has been the lack of sufficient ground truth, ...
Climatological Characteristics of Rapidly Intensifying Typhoons
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The occurrence of rapid deepening of tropical cyclones(≥42 mb in 24 h) in the western North Pacific is examined to determine the statistics of these events and to identify features peculiar to their onset. Seventy-nine ...
