Extratropical Storm Evolution from Tropical Cyclones in the Western North Pacific Ocean

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA060910 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This study examines 16 recurving tropical storms and typhoons that occurred in the western North Pacific Ocean in 1971, to determine the characteristics of the storms after they became extratropical. Many of the extratropical storms that evolved from tropical cyclones maintained destructive seas and winds as long as 5 days after the point of recurvature. Six of the 16 extratropical storms crossed the North Pacific and affected the Aleutians or western North America. Some of the physical processes associated with the evolution of extratropical storms from tropical cyclones are also discussed. Author
