Cross-Equatorial Interactions in the Development of a Winter Typhoon: Nancy 1970

Abstract

Although winter typhoons can be as intense and destructive as seasonable ones, little research has been devoted to these off-season tropical cyclones. This synoptic and dynamic study is of such a storm. Typhoon Nancy (19-27 Feb 70). It examines anomalies in the February 1970 circulation patterns over the Western Pacific and uses them to explain the formation and development of Nancy. Special emphasis is placed on the impact of cross-equatorial interactions during the storm's genesis.
