Abstract

Abstract

The mechanisms of tropical cyclone genesis remain enigmatic and contr oversial,because of the lack of observations over the tropical oceans and the complexities of tropical cyclone lifecycle.Since 1950's,meteorologists have done lots of jobs to investigate the nature of environment,external fo rcing and trigger mechanism of tropical cyclone formation using limited observations and numerical simulations.Some important progress on tropical cyclone genesis all over the world during recent 50 years is reviewed in this paper.In addition,the advantages and shortcomings of each viewpoint,the remaining questions and what should be focused on in the future are discussed.
- tropical cyclone,
- genesis,
- climatological background,
- pre-storm disturbance,
- trigger
