SIXTH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP on TROPICAL CYCLONES Topic 2.4 : Observing and Forecasting of Extratropical Transition Rapporteur:
نویسنده
چکیده
At IWTC-V in Cairns, Australia, researchers and forecasters agreed that a research program focusing on important physical characteristics associated with the extratropical transition (or “ET”) of tropical cyclones (TC) was needed. This research program should promote analysis of existing observational and modeling datasets to: (i) improve analyses and prediction of the structure changes, significant weather, and ocean impacts associated with ET; (ii) address uncertainties associated with numerical predictions of ET in the region of the storm; (iii) understand its far-field impacts; and (iv) coordinate any ET research program with existing programs to obtain detailed observations of the evolutionary structure of extratropical transition.

The importance of the ET in influencing the dynamics of the atmosphere has become more evident in recent years. The occurrence of ET events over the North Pacific has been observed to coincide with periods of reduced forecast model skill (Jones et al. 2003). Harr et al. (2004) examined downstream propagation of increased ensemble standard deviation in mid-tropospheric heights from several opera...

Operational use of consensus track forecasting methods has become relatively widespread in the last four years. This paper gives an overview of current consensus track forecasting methods, summarises recent research regarding consensus track forecasting methods, and looks at implementation challenges faced by operational centers. We consider the relative merits and degree of operational use of ...
متن کاملEvolution of Tropical Cyclone Characteristics
The long-term goals are to understand how variabilities in the large-scale atmospheric environment and the internal tropical cyclone structure influence tropical cyclone track and intensity characteristics and define how these influences differ between developing, mature, and decaying tropical cyclones. During the initial stages of tropical cyclone development, structure and track characteristi...
