Abstract: ropical cyclones (TCs) in the eastern semicircle of large-scale monsoon gyres (MGs) were observed to take either a northward (sudden northward and northward without a sharp turn) or a westward TC turn, but only the northward ...

Abstract: n observational analysis of observed sudden typhoon track changes is conducted with a focus on the underlying mechanism and the possible role of slowly varying low-frequency flows. Four typhoons that took a generally ...

Abstract: arge-scale monsoon gyres and the involved tropical cyclone formation over the western North Pacific have been documented in previous studies. The aim of this study is to understand how monsoon gyres affect tropical cyclone ...

Abstract: yphoon Morakot made landfall on Taiwan with a record rainfall of 3031.5 mm during 6?13 August 2009. While previous studies have emphasized the influence of southwesterly winds associated with intraseasonal oscillations and ...

Abstract: AbstractAs one major source of forecasting errors in tropical cyclone intensity, rapid weakening of tropical cyclones [an intensity reduction of 20 kt (1 kt = 0.51 m s?1) or more over a 24-h period] over the tropical open ...

Abstract: n the second part of this study, numerical experiments are conducted to investigate the influences of multi-time-scale monsoonal flows on the track change of Typhoon Morakot (2009). While the control simulation captures ...
