Abstract

The characteristic fields associated with tropical cyclone (TC) formations were discussed. Six large-scale environmental parameters associated with 405 TC formations were examined in the western North Pacific during 1990-2001 computed from the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis with 2.5° latitude/longitude resolution. These parameters included the sea-surface temperature, 200-850-hPa zonal and meridional vertical shear, 500-700-hPa average relative humidity, convective available potential energy (CAPE) and 200-hPa divergence. These parameter had consistent values with near-Gaussian distributions in almost all the cases.
