Abstract

Using the tropical cyclone (TC) best track data from the Shanghai Typhoon Research Institute of the China Meteorological Administration (CMA-STI) and the monthly mean reanalysis data of NCEP/NCAR, the interannual variability of the basin-scale large-scale environmental steering flow and the tropical cyclone activity in the western North Pacific (WNP) during peak season from July to September from 1979−2016 are investigated. The results show that: (1) There are two typical modes of summer large-scale environmental steering flow in the WNP at the inter-annual scale. The first typical mode is a dipole circulation with a meridional distribution, which is closely related to the eastern ENSO and the sea-air coupling mode in the WNP region. (2) The TC activity (generation location, tracks, intensity and duration) differs significantly between the two typical interannual mode anomaly years of the large-scale environment steering flow, but the differences have distinctly different characteristics for the two typical inter-annual modes. (3) The spatial distribution of TC generation location shows significant differences from north to south between the years of the first typical interannual mode anomalies of large-scale environment steering flow; the TC tracks, especially the northwestward and westward prevailing tracks, also have significant differences, and their average duration and intensity also show their corresponding significant differences. In the second major interannual mode anomaly years, the TC generation locations show significant east-west distribution especially in the southeast quadrant, and the differences in TC tracks are mainly in the northwestward and offshore steering prevailing tracks, and their mean durations and intensities also show significant differences.
