Time Series of the Annual Average Position Errors of Operational TC track Forecasts in NW Pacific
In general, the errors have been decreasing
(E48hr, now ~ E24hr,15yr bf )
However year-to year variations exist that are due mainly to differences in the annual number of TCs
and difficulty in forecasting TC track

Performance in TC Track Forecasting by Global NWP
Systems
Significant prediction errors still exist and there are prediction cases
where the position error can exceed 1000 km over 3 days.
Although the theories of TC motion might have reached a satisfactory
level, our knowledge on the causes of prediction errors is still poor.

The track errors averaged over the past 5 years are largest for the weakest initial intensity TCs.
Model improvements are still required with an emphasis to increase numerical track forecast skill for the weak or initial stages of TCs.

120h error
Large errors
Although, considerable progress have been made in recent four years for global models, there still
are some incredible errors at long lead time levels in 2013, such as typhoon “Fitow”.
Large errors are mainly appear in the early stage of the life cycle of “Fitow”.

Before landing: The forecast results of intensity were extremely weaker than OBS.
After landing: The forecast results of intensity were stronger than OBS.
The capability of intensity forecast for global model still have great room for improvement in the future.

In the weakening stage, a time lag of 12 hours is provided between T-number and CI-number because of the fact that decline of a cloud system precedes the decrease in intensity. At landing, RSMC Tokyo
decreases CI-number with the T-number without a time lag.

Topic: Intensity change (RI/RW): Weaker stage (TD RI to TS) in the coastal area of TC region Landfalling (RI & TS RW to TD)
Scientific issues: The effect of non-uniform complex surface and the sea-land-atmosphere
interaction on the boundary layer wind distribution of tropical cyclone The predictability and credibility of the prognostic of the intensity changes The impact of the intensity changes on the tidal level and the flooding in
the flood plain of this region The impact of the intensity changes on the vulnerability of the disaster of
typhoons in the Asia Pacific Region
2.1 Scientific issues
2.2 Goals and objectives
Field campaigns (target typhoon observation) 3-5 target typhoons per year Test new monitoring techniques: aircraft (drop-sound), mobile/automatic
GPS (rise-sound), buoy array,…. rocket (drop-sound) gather the comprehensive observation data related to the target typhoon
Demonstration research Improve the knowledge of abnormal intensity change (RI & RW), in
particularly, the genesis (in SCS) and disappear (after landfall)
Improve the performance of typhoon intensity determine and regional
numerical modeling
Develop the storm surge (urban city) , flooding (inland) forecasting and
damage risk estimate/forecast system

Three factors may be attributed to this
improvement in TC track forecasts by the NWP systems:
Field Campaigns (progress of international typhoon society)
CBLAST-LOW T-PARC/TCS-08 SPECTRUM DOTSTAR
use of advanced
instruments and equipment
on target hurricane, the
strong wind background
between the sea – air
exchange and
transmission
Using the drop sounding, rafting sounding, microwave radiometer, land-based wind profile radar, doppler wind radar, etc. Focus on the formation of tropical cyclones, strengthening, structural change, moving, degeneration and so on.
Using observation ships,
buoys, wind profile radar
sounding system, etc. in the
northwest Pacific region to
carry out the moving
characteristics under weak
environment of typhoon
For the first time in the Pacific northwest with drop sounding and aircraft detection for typhoon. 32 typhoon aircraft reconnaissance, 39 voyages since 2003. powerfully impelled the research for typhoon structure and data assimilation

From 1997-2006:
the assimilation of the
supplementary dropwindsondes
improved NCEP GFS track
forecasts by 10-15% during the
first 60 h of the forecasts.
WMO Report: Conclusions• Observations are
important both
within and outside
the TC, varies from
case to case
• Observations
targeted in selected
areas are mostly
beneficial
• Aircraft are often
unable to cover
target areas
