Abstract

This paper provides a summary of some of the recent studies of the climate of tropical cyclone (TC) activity in the Western North Pacific (WNP) region, and its possible relation with global warming. Because two recent review articles (Chan 2004, 2005) have summarized most of the research on this topic up to around 2002, this paper will only discuss the studies that came after this time. Readers interested in the earlier works can consult these two articles. Section 2 discusses the variations of TC numbers and number of intense TCs and how they might or might not be related to global warming. Variations of TC tracks and landfall locations are presented in Section 3. A summary is then given in Section 4.

Note that the second principal component is shown because the coefficients of the first component shows a continuous increase, which is to be expected as the moist static energy is related to the air temperature that has been on the increase due to global warming.
