Speed of Tropical Storms and Typhoons after Recurvature in the Western North Pacific Ocean

Twenty-five years of tropical cyclone data (1945-1969) for the western North Pacific were evaluated to determine the speed of movement characteristics of tropical storms and typhoons following recurvature. The results show that the acceleration of storms following recurvature is a function of the ti...

Description
Summary:Twenty-five years of tropical cyclone data (1945-1969) for the western North Pacific were evaluated to determine the speed of movement characteristics of tropical storms and typhoons following recurvature. The results show that the acceleration of storms following recurvature is a function of the time of year, the meteorological characteristics of the storm, and the surrounding synoptic environment. Forecast equations derived by linear regression techniques are presented for the speed of movement of tropical cyclones 36 hours after recurvature.
