Tropical cyclone-related socio-economic losses in the western North Pacific region
The western North Pacific (WNP) is the area of the world most frequently affected by tropical cyclones (TCs). However, little is known about the socio-economic impacts of TCs in this region, probably because of the limited relevant loss data. Here, loss data from Munich RE’s NatCatSERVICE database is used, a high-quality and widely consulted database of natural disasters. In the country-level l...
متن کاملWestern North Pacific Tropical Cyclone Intensity and ENSO
The influence of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on tropical cyclone intensity in the western North Pacific basin is examined. Accumulated cyclone energy (ACE), constructed from the best-track dataset for the region for the period 1950–2002, and other related variables are analyzed. ACE is positively correlated with ENSO indices. This and other statistics of the interannually varying tr...
متن کاملForced and internal variability of tropical cyclone track density in 1 the western North Pacific
6 Forced interannual-to-decadal variability of annual tropical cyclone (TC) track density in 7 the western North Pacific between 1979-2008 is studied using TC tracks from observations 8 and simulations by a 25-km-resolution version of the GFDL High-Resolution Atmospheric 9 Model (HiRAM) that is forced by observed sea surface temperatures (SSTs). Two modes 10 dominate the decadal variability: a ...
متن کاملFactors Controlling Multiple Tropical Cyclone Events in the Western North Pacific*
The statistical feature of occurrence of multiple tropical cyclone (MTC) events in the western North Pacific (WNP) is examined during summer (June–September) for the period of 1979–2006. The number of MTC events ranged from one to eight per year, experiencing a marked interannual variation. The spatial distance between the TCs associated with MTC events is mostly less than 3000 km, which accoun...
متن کاملInterannual Variation of Multiple Tropical Cyclone Events in the Western North Pacific
The interannual variability of occurrence of multiple tropical cyclone (MTC) events during June–October in the western North Pacific (WNP) was examined for the period 1979–2006. The number of the MTC events ranged from 2 to 9 per year, exhibiting a remarkable year-to-year variation. Seven active and seven inactive MTC years were identified. Compared to the inactive years, tropical cyclone genes...
