Typhoon with cliamte change
Research Motivation
Typhoons are formed through the intricate interaction of various forces, including the Pressure-Gradient Force, Coriolis Force, Gravity, and Friction. The rise in Sea Surface Temperature (SST) due to global warming is expected to increase atmospheric water vapor, thereby altering typhoon intensity (maximum wind speed, extreme rainfall), occurrence timing, and tracks.
Typhoons continue to change
due to the effects of climate change.
Research Objectives
-
To analyze changes in the frequency, intensity, and tracks of typhoons affecting the Korean Peninsula and the Northwest Pacific over the past 30 years (1995-2024).
-
To quantitatively explain how climate change alters the balance of forces, utilizing physical equations (e.g., Gradient-wind, Hydrostatic).
-
To detect these changes and discuss their causes, employing both observational data and climate model (CMIP6) data.
