An Exploratory Analysis of the Relationship between Tropical Storm Formation in the Western North Pacific and ENSO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO)-related variations in the observed character (e.g., annual storm totals, preferred genesis region, etc.) of the tropical cyclone activity in the western North Pacific are sought. With ...
Evolution of the Cloud Pattern during the Formation of Tropical Cyclone Twins Symmetrical with Respect to the Equator
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The evolution of the pattern of the deep convective cloud is presented for three selected cases of tropical cyclone twins symmetrical with respect to the equator. In each case, the pattern evolution is similar and can be ...
Description of a Monsoon Gyre and Its Effects on the Tropical Cyclones in the Western North Pacific during August 1991
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes the character and evolution of the low-level wind, sea level pressure, and satellite-observed cloudiness over the western North Pacific (WNP) during August 1991 when the low-level monsoon circulation ...
Specific Tropical Cyclone Track Types and Unusual Tropical Cyclone Motions Associated with a Reverse-Oriented Monsoon Trough in the Western North Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In its simplest description, the large-scale low-level circulation of summer over the western North Pacific Ocean can be described in terms of low-latitude southwesterlies, a monsoon trough, and a subtropical ridge. When ...
The Meandering Nature of Tropical Cyclone Tracks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The observed tendency for tropical cyclones to meander about a longer-term track with periods of several days and amplitudes around 100 km is investigated. An analysis of 26 cyclones in the western North Pacific Ocean does ...
