Cloud-Resolving Studies of West Pacific Tropical Cyclones

Abstract

Improve the prediction of tropical cyclone (TC) genesis and its subsequent track, intensity and intensity change; and provide a better understanding of the fundamental dynamical and physical processes taking place in TCs from its genesis to typhoon and landfalling stages, including the inner-core clouds/precipitation and catastrophic winds.
