In this study,a series of sensitivity experiments were performed for two tropical cyclones (TCs),TC Longwang (2005) and TC Sinlaku (2008),to explore the roles of locations and patterns of initial errors in uncertainties of TC forecasts.Specifically,three types of initial errors were generated and three types of sensitive areas were determined using conditional nonlinear optimal perturbation (CNOP),first singular vector (FSV),and composite singular vector (CSV) methods.Additionally,random initial errors in r...

1. Introduction Predictions of weather and climate are necessar-ily uncertain. Research on predictability of weatherand climate refer mainly to two aspects: the analy-sis of factors and mechanisms that yield the uncer-tainties of forecast results, and the
