Abstract Purpose of Review This paper reviews recent progress in understanding of the
North Pacific Meridional Mode (NPMM) and its influence on the timing, magnitude, flavor …

Instrumental records reveal that intense tropical cyclone (TC) activity varies with tropical sea
surface temperature (SST) on annual-decadal scales. Drivers of intense TC activity at the …

This study examines the impact of the winter Arctic sea ice concentration (ASIC) anomaly on
the succedent summer tropical cyclone genesis frequency (TCGF) over the western North …

This study finds an enhanced relationship in recent years between January–March eastern
Tibetan Plateau snow depth (TPSD) and the frequency of rapidly intensifying tropical …

Confidence and uncertainty issues of simulations were seldom evaluated in previous
studies although the climate models are widely used. This study evaluates the performance …

Using satellite era data from 1979 to 2019, we find an abrupt change in autumn (September–
November) tropical cyclone (TC) activity over the western North Pacific (WNP) in the late …

Autumn typhoons, despite their lower occurrence rate, impose significant, and at times,
greater economic impacts on Asia than summer typhoons. Accurately predicting the …

There are no well-accepted mechanisms that can explain the annual frequency of tropical
cyclones (TCs) both globally and in individual ocean basins. Recent studies using idealized …

The instrumental record reveals that tropical cyclone activity is sensitive to oceanic and
atmospheric variability on inter-annual and decadal scales. However, our understanding of …

The 2018 tropical cyclone (TC) season over the western North Pacific (WNP) underwent two
extreme situations: 18 TCs observed during June–August (JJA) and ranked the second most …
