Summary: Based on observational data, this study finds that there are large-scale anomalous cyclones and anticyclones in the western North Pacific (WNP), with similar occurrence numbers. The WNP anomalous cyclone is identified as an interannual circulatory anomaly that can persist from autumn to spring during La Niña years and from spring to summer during developing El Niño years. The central equatorial Pacific warming contributes to the WNP anomalous cyclone during developing El Niño years, while the combination of central equatorial Pacific cooling, tropical Indian Ocean cooling, and central WNP warming induces the WNP anomalous cyclone during La Niña years.

Summary: This study investigates the formation mechanism of the summer Western North Pacific Anomalous Anticyclone (WNPAC) that is independent of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). It is found that besides the significant relationship with ENSO, the WNPAC index remains almost unchanged after removing the impact of ENSO, suggesting the possibility of other origins of the WNPAC. A two-step mechanism from the Atlantic to the Pacific is proposed for the formation of ENSO-independent summer WNPAC.

Summary: Observations reveal two distinct patterns of atmospheric variability associated with wintertime variations in midlatitude sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the North Pacific sector. One pattern is characterized by peak atmospheric circulation anomalies 2-3 weeks prior to large SST anomalies in the western North Pacific, consistent with atmospheric forcing of the SST field. The other pattern shows atmospheric circulation anomalies lagging behind SST anomalies in the western North Pacific by several weeks, consistent with the atmospheric response to the SST field. Numerical simulations support the interpretation of these lead-lag relationships, providing evidence for the influence of SST variability on the large-scale atmospheric circulation.

Summary: The predictability of temperatures in North America is crucial for local agriculture and human health. A study has found that the spring sea surface temperature anomalies in the southwest Pacific exhibit a strong correlation with autumn temperatures in North America. This finding suggests that the spring southwest Pacific sea surface temperature can be a useful predictor for North American temperatures.

Summary: This study systematically examined the effect of storm size on TC-induced sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies (SSTA) and subsequent TC intensification in the western North Pacific. The results show that large TCs generate stronger and more widespread SSTA than small TCs, and storm size regulates TC intensification through an oceanic pathway.

Summary: The study introduces a new method to investigate the impact chain of equatorial sea surface temperature patterns on East Asia's summer weather conditions by considering the western North Pacific subtropical high as an anchor. Three predictors were identified, achieving successful prediction of the summer index of the western North Pacific subtropical high, highlighting the complex atmosphere-ocean coupled response.

Summary: This study developed a new statistical prediction model for typhoon-induced accumulated rainfall (TAR) based on track and precipitation data. By evaluating track similarity and applying intensity correction, the model improved TAR prediction compared to previous studies. The findings highlight the complexity of typhoon-induced rainfall prediction and the importance of effective management in addressing water problems caused by typhoons.

Summary: The Tibetan Plateau plays a key role in impacting the tracks of Western Pacific typhoons by modulating downstream Rossby waves, resulting in a westward shift of the typhoon tracks over North East Asia. This dynamic relationship has implications for both seasonal weather prediction and an understanding of long-term climate change.

Summary: The subseasonal variation of the anomalous western North Pacific anticyclone (WNPAC) has important implications for East Asian summer monsoon variability. This study explains how the WNPAC evolves on the subseasonal time scale under different configurations of tropical North Atlantic (TNA) Ocean and north Indian Ocean (NIO) SST warming.

Summary: This study reveals an enhanced relationship between snow depth in the eastern Tibetan Plateau in January-March and the frequency of rapidly intensifying tropical cyclones over the western North Pacific during the following peak TC season. The correlation between these two factors is significant in recent years, but was insignificant in the past. The relationship is influenced by the presence of an anomalous anticyclone and the associated wind anomalies and cooler sea surface temperatures in the subtropical eastern North Pacific.

Summary: This study proposes a new mechanism for the generation of extreme El Ni iota o events by analyzing interactions between tropical cyclones (TCs) in the western North Pacific (WNP) and sea surface warming in the eastern tropical Pacific. The study finds that anomalously strong TCs in the WNP in spring and summer are essential for the formation of extreme El Ni iota o events. The TCs in spring excite westward wind bursts (WWBs) and facilitate the generation of El Ni iota o events, while the TC activities in summer contribute to the warm sea surface temperature anomalies in the eastern tropical Pacific, leading to extreme El Ni iota o events in the following autumn and winter. These findings are supported by atmosphere-ocean coupled model experiments.

Summary: This study reveals that the warming of the North Indian Ocean sea surface temperature causes the Western North Pacific anticyclone to contract southward, while the warming of the Tropical North Atlantic sea surface temperature causes it to extend northward. The different responses are generated through Kelvin wave and Rossby wave mechanisms.

Summary: This study reexamines the boreal summer intraseasonal oscillation (BSISO) over the western North Pacific (WNP) and discovers its asymmetry. Two categories of BSISO events, long-period and short-period, are classified, with the long-period events showing a northward-propagating mode and significant phase asymmetry. The phase asymmetry is determined by the BSISO-induced amplitude-asymmetric sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies, resulting from the nonlinear relationship between convection and surface downward shortwave radiation flux anomalies caused by the cloud transmission effect. The asymmetric BSISO events and their impacts revealed in this study provide potential for subseasonal-to-seasonal forecast of the East Asian summer monsoon precipitation.

Summary: In October 2019, Supertyphoon Hagibis devastated Japan and was an important typhoon in Pacific history. The rapid intensification and various factors such as sea temperature, ocean heat content, storm motion, and thunderstorm activity contributed to Hagibis's impressive strength evolution. Despite favorable conditions, Hagibis's intensification stalled after a significant size expansion, contrasting Haiyan which continued to intensify and reach record-breaking intensity.

Summary: Poleward migration is an interesting phenomenon where Tropical Cyclones (TCs) shift towards higher latitudes. However, the impact of this migration on TC intensification is uncertain, and there is a lack of quantitative understanding. Through analyzing the western North Pacific (WNP), which is likely to experience poleward migration, we find that it can partially offset the positive impact of global warming on future TC intensification. The increasing trend slope of Potential Intensity (PI) is reduced with poleward migration.

Summary: Due to the unusual warm ocean condition fueled by a marine heatwave, Typhoon Bavi became the strongest typhoon in the East China Sea in the past decade. The shallow water depth and strong salinity stratification in the ECS prevented typhoon-induced cooling, resulting in high sea surface temperatures that enhanced the typhoon's heat flux. Interestingly, the typhoon itself likely contributed to the rapid development of the marine heatwave. This study provides important insights into the interaction between typhoons and marine heatwaves, which are becoming increasingly significant under climate change.

Summary: The research reveals that the 11-year solar cycle can affect the incidence of off-season super typhoons in the western North Pacific by influencing sea surface temperature. This mechanism has become more effective since the shift of the Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation to a warm phase in the 1990s. The findings can help improve long-term disaster preparation and planning.
