A Strong 2023/24 El Niño is Staged by Tropical Pacific Ocean Heat Content Buildup by Tao Lian, Jie Wang, Dake Chen, Ting Liu, Dazhi Wang

“…The upper ocean heat content in the equatorial Pacific usually serves as a primary precursor for an upcoming El Niño, while strong atmospheric perturbations such as westerly wind burst and easterly wind surge sometimes play a decisive role in determining the final intensity of the event. The tropical Pacific Ocean has just experienced a rare 3-year La Niña, which accumulated a huge amount of warm water in the western basin by the winter of 2022 with an intensity much stronger than those preceding the onset of strong El Niños in history. …”

Do Solar Cycles Share Spectral Properties with Tropical Cyclones that Occur in the Western North Pacific Ocean? by Ki-Beom Kim, Jung-Hee Kim, Heon-Young Chang

“…In this study, we examined category three, four, and five tropical cyclones that occurred in the western North Pacific Ocean from 1977 to 2016. We compared long-term trends in the positions of tropical cyclone occurrence and development with variations of the observed sunspot area, the solar North-South asymmetry, and the southern oscillation index (SOI). …”

Analysis of Typhoon-Induced Waves along Typhoon Tracks in the Western North Pacific Ocean, 1998–2017 by Yuyi Hu, Weizeng Shao, Yongliang Wei, Juncheng Zuo

“…In this study, Version 5.16 of the WAVEWATCH-III (WW3) model is used to simulate parameters of typhoon-generated wave fields in the Western North Pacific Ocean during the period 1998–2017. From a database of more than 300 typhoons, typhoon tracks are partitioned into six groups by their direction of motion and longitude of recurvature track. …”
