Does the Antarctic Oscillation modulate tropical cyclone rapid intensification over the western North Pacific?

Environmental Research Letters, 2022
This study investigates the modulation of tropical cyclone (TCs) rapid intensification (RI) over the western North Pacific by the Antarctic Oscillation.

Fukushima-derived radiocesium in the western North Pacific in 2014 [PDF]

Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry, 2016
In 2014, we measured activity concentration of radiocesium in the western North Pacific Ocean. In the north of Kuroshio Front high activity concentration of Fukushima-derived radiocesium in surface mixed layer in 2012 had been transported eastward by 2014. In the south of the front we found a radiocesium subsurface maximum in 200-600 m depth, which was

Interannual Anomaly in Tropical Cyclone Frequency Around Korea by Western North Pacific Monsoon

Tropical Cyclone Research and Review, 2015
: In this study, the correlation between the frequency of summer tropical cyclones (TC) affecting areas around Korea over the last 37 years and the western North Pacific monsoon index (WNPMI) was analyzed. A clear positive correlation existed between the

Geolocator tagging links distributions in the non-breeding season to population genetic structure in a sentinel North Pacific seabird.

PLoS ONE, 2020
We tested the hypothesis that segregation in wintering areas is associated with population differentiation in a sentinel North Pacific seabird, the rhinoceros auklet (Cerorhinca monocerata).

Annular Typhoons in the Western North Pacific

Weather and Forecasting, 2014
Abstract Annular hurricanes, characterized by annular structure, are a subset of mature-stage intense tropical cyclones, and they tend to be stronger and persist longer than average tropical cyclones. The characteristics of annular hurricanes in the North Atlantic and eastern-central North Pacific Oceans are well documented by Knaff et ...

Trends in western North Pacific tropical cyclone intensity [PDF]

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2006
Using the tropical cyclone best track data from the U.S. Department of Defense's Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), Webster et al. [2005] found that between the two consecutive 15‐year periods of 1975–1989 and 1990‐2004, the percentage of typhoons in the western North Pacific meeting the definition of categories 4 and 5 on the Saffir‐Simpson ...

Evaluating the Emanuel-Nolan genesis potential index: Contrast between North Atlantic and western North Pacific

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2018
Tropical cyclone (TC) activity during the period from 1979 - 2010 represented by the Emanuel-Nolan “genesis potential index” (EN-GPI) is compared and evaluated against observation of TC records over the North Atlantic and the western North Pacific.

The Influence of ENSO Flavors on Western North Pacific Tropical Cyclone Activity

Journal of Climate, 2018
El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a major source of seasonal western North Pacific (WNP) tropical cyclone (TC) predictability. However, the spatial characteristics of ENSO have changed in recent decades, from warming more typically in the eastern ...

Spatiotemporal vertical velocity variation in the western tropical Pacific and its relation to decadal ocean variability

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2022
Prior to the cold phase of the Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO), sea surface water in the western tropical North Pacific is heated. To evaluate the impact of the subsurface water on the upper-ocean ( $$10^{-6}\,{\text {m\,s}}^{-1}$$ > 10 - 6 m\,s - 1 ...

Characteristics of Tropical Cyclone Rapid Intensification over the Western North Pacific

Journal of Climate, 2018
This study statistically investigates the characteristics of tropical cyclones (TCs) undergoing rapid intensification (RI) in the western North Pacific in the 37 years from 1979 to 2015 and the relevant atmospheric and oceanic environments. Among 900 TCs,
