Complex tracks Summary Typhoons with unusual tracks are difficult to forecast with respect to whether, when, and where typhoon turning occurs based on traditional synoptic charts and numerical weather forecast model products. This typhoon turning atlas provides an additional tool to deal with the typhoon turning question by using a physical decomposition method together with thousands of plots. In particular, this atlas provides important information of 322 historical typhoons that occurred in the past three decades and demonstrates how they were influenced respectively Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Print version record Subject Typhoons -- Tracks -- Observations Typhoons -- Forecasting Cyclones -- Tropics -- Forecasting Decomposition method.
