Regional changes of tropical cyclone rainfall in the western North Pacific
Tropical cyclones (TCs) in the Western North Pacific (WNP) are the most active globally, and their rainfall threatens lives, infrastructure, and natural ecosystems from oceanic to coastal regions. However, the changing patterns of TC rainfall and the driving mechanisms due to concurrent changes in TC duration and rain rate remain unknown. Here, we find an overall decreasing trend in WNP TC rainfall and contrasting changes between the south (decreases) and north (increases) of 20°N for 1979–2020. The TC duration dominates TC rainfall changes in 63 % of the WNP, mostly occurring in oceanic areas and associated with the poleward migration of TC tracks. In contrast, the TC rain rate dominates TC rainfall changes in the rest of the WNP, especially in northern coastal areas that are closely related to the changes in vertical velocity. Our findings reveal divergent changes in TC rainfall from south to north and systematically explore different controls from ocean to coastal, suggesting escalating regional TC risks in the northern coastal areas.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the journal Global and Planetary Change is to provide a multi-disciplinary overview of the processes taking place in the Earth System and involved in planetary change over time. The journal focuses on records of the past and current state of the earth system, and future scenarios , and their link to global environmental change. Regional or process-oriented studies are welcome if they discuss global implications. Topics include, but are not limited to, changes in the dynamics and composition of the atmosphere, oceans and cryosphere, as well as climate change, sea level variation, observations/modelling of Earth processes from deep to (near-)surface and their coupling, global ecology, biogeography and the resilience/thresholds in ecosystems.
Key criteria for the consideration of manuscripts are (a) the relevance for the global scientific community and/or (b) the wider implications for global scale problems, preferably combined with (c) having a significance beyond a single discipline. A clear focus on key processes associated with planetary scale change is strongly encouraged.
Manuscripts can be submitted as either research contributions or as a review article. Every effort should be made towards the presentation of research outcomes in an understandable way for a broad readership.
