Abstract

Detecting and interpreting long-term changes in typhoon translation speed in observations remains challenging, contrasting with increased confidence in the poleward migration of typhoons. Here, I show a significant relationship between the basin-wide translation speed and the latitudinal position of tropical cyclones in the western North Pacific over 1980–2023. First, because tropical cyclones move faster at higher latitudes, the significant poleward migration (80 km/decade) increases the yearly basin-wide translation speed by 5% over the period. This effect reduces the detectability of a slowing trend. Second, the basin-wide translation speed solely contributed by regional translation speed has slowed by 18%, mostly in the late stage of the cyclone lifecycle. The translation speed slowdown and the poleward migration are likely caused by the same climate drivers through the interconnected large-scale atmospheric circulation between the tropics and subtropics. My findings suggest exacerbated tropical cyclone-related risk in the subtropical regions in a changing climate.

北太平洋西部热带气旋的平移速度减慢和向极地迁移
从观测数据中探测和解释台风平移速度的长期变化仍然具有挑战性,这与人们对台风向极地移动的信心增强形成了鲜明对比。在此,我展示了 1980-2023 年间北太平洋西部热带气旋的全海盆平移速度与纬度位置之间的显著关系。首先,由于热带气旋在高纬度地区移动速度更快,显著的向极地迁移(80 公里/十年)使这一时期的全海盆年平移速度增加了 5%。这种效应降低了对减缓趋势的可探测性。其次,完全由区域平移速度造成的全流域平移速度减慢了 18%,这主要发生在气旋生命周期的后期。平移速度减慢和向极地迁移可能是由相同的气候驱动因素通过热带和亚热带之间相互关联的大尺度大气环流造成的。我的研究结果表明,在不断变化的气候中,亚热带地区与热带气旋相关的风险加剧。

期刊介绍: npj Climate and Atmospheric Science is an open-access journal encompassing the relevant physical, chemical, and biological aspects of atmospheric and climate science. The journal places particular emphasis on regional studies that unveil new insights into specific localities, including examinations of local atmospheric composition, such as aerosols. The range of topics covered by the journal includes climate dynamics, climate variability, weather and climate prediction, climate change, ocean dynamics, weather extremes, air pollution, atmospheric chemistry (including aerosols), the hydrological cycle, and atmosphere–ocean and atmosphere–land interactions. The journal welcomes studies employing a diverse array of methods, including numerical and statistical modeling, the development and application of in situ observational techniques, remote sensing, and the development or evaluation of new reanalyses.
