Outline of Final Research Achievements

Typhoons are important events both in terms of meteorological research and society, but its analysis on intensity and structure has been dependent on manual analysis by human experts. Hence this research proposed a new method for analyzing typhoons from the viewpoint of big data through the creation of the large-scale dataset of meteorological satellite images on typhoons and the application of machine learning, or deep learning. We tackled four topics, namely "classification of typhoon grades," "regression of typhoon central pressure," "transition from typhoons to extra-tropical cyclones" and "extension to a temporal model." In particular, we obtained interesting results on "transition from typhoons to extra-tropical cyclone," in which we proposed a new deep learning-based index called "extra-tropical transition index." Comparison between the index and JMA best track revealed that transition timing announced from JMA is about a half day later than deep learning-based index.
