This study investigated the impact of different verification-area designs on the sensitive areas identified using the conditional nonlinear optimal perturbation (CNOP) method for tropical cyclone targeted observations.The sensitive areas identified using the first singular vector (FSV) method,which is the linear approximation of CNOP,were also investigated for comparison.By analyzing the validity of the sensitive areas,the proper design of a verification area was developed.Tropical cyclone Rananim,which occ...

1. IntroductionBased on predictability studies of tropical cyclones,it was realized that the forecasts of tropical cyclonetracks and intensity could be improved when accu-rate initial analyses were obtained (Riehl et al., 1956;Bender et al., 1993; Zhu and
