The Rise of Extreme Typhoon Power and Duration over South East Asia Seas
نویسنده
چکیده
The study features an analysis of 40 years of records of longitude, latitude and power (wind speed) of tropical storms and typhoons over South East Asia seas. The results demonstrate the growing intensity of the most severe events. The singular spectrum analysis of wind speed series from 1960 till 2000 identified two sub-periods of roughly similar behavior. Then, the recorded events were classified statistically and the escalating power and duration of the most extreme ones were examined with extreme probability distributions to quantify the resulting climate change consequences in the studied region. Finally, conclusions and suggestions for a potential follow-up research were provided.

[1] Numerical model studies have suggested that the ongoing global climate change will likely affect tropical cyclone activity. Since the global warming has been underway, it is meaningful to ask: Are there evidences of observed changes in tropical cyclone activity? Using besttrack data from 1965 to 2003, we show for the first time that over the past four decades the two prevailing typhoon trac...

The Japanese geostationary meteorological satellite GMS-5, or also known as ”Himawari,” is positioned at 140◦E above the equator, and serves as a powerful tool for monitoring typhoons on the Pacific Ocean. This satellite is best suited for the monitoring of typhoons because of frequent observation, wide coverage, and fixed scan range. However, the degradation of effective resolution due to eart...
