In order to investigate the physical mechanism of tropical cyclone (TC) intensity sudden change over the coastal waters (ISCCOW) of China, a theoretical study is made with national typhoon year book and NCEP-NCAR reanalysis data. Some of the research results on it are valuable in application to the TC operational forecasting.
The climatic characteristics of TC intensity change over the western North Pacific are analyzed. Theoretical diagnostic analysis on ISCCOW is carried out. The v...
