A Role of the Tropical Upper Tropospheric Trough in Early Season Typhoon Development

Abstract

During each of three occasions in June of 1971 that the Tropical Upper Tropospheric Trough (TUTT) extended into the western North Pacific along 15N, a typhoon developed in the low-level trough between 5N and 10N. Detailed analyses of the upper-tropospheric wind field during the early stages of the three typhoons -- Freda, Gilda, and Harriet -- are used to develop a synoptic model which describes the role of the TUTT in early season typhoon development.
