Outline of Final Research Achievements

To diagnose impacts of environmental factor on tropical cyclone (TC) intensity, forecast experiments for 2800 cases have been conducted using coupled hurricane intensity prediction system (CHIPS). Environmental parameter were generated from a forecast data by Japan meteorological agency (JMA) global spectral model (GSM). By comparing the forecast results, CHIPS is lowest errors among three models and the largest correlation coefficient of central pressure tendency. This indicates TC intensity is largely controlled by environmental factor. Through the sensitivity experiments, vertical shear is a largest impact on TC intensity forecast, second is ocean mixed layer depth in a framework of CHIPS. From a point of a practical view, we evaluate the intensity forecast skill of a consensus by above three models. The consensus has comparable or less forecast error than the JMA official forecast, which will contribute the improvement of intensity forecast.
