摘要

Abstract

Track density function (TDF) was computed for all Western North Pacific tropical cyclones (WNP TCs) tracks from 1950 to 2018

and the TDFs were further investigated using principal component analysis (PCA) to analyze their inter-annual spatial and temporal variability. Then

the relationships between each empirical orthogonal function (EOF) mode and the typhoon count

typhoon landfall count

track pattern

and the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau snow cover (QXPSC) were examined

and the possible physical mechanisms implied by the statistical relationship were explored. The results show the QXPSC significantly affected the surface-atmosphere heat exchange through snow cover (SC) level

then changed the East Asian summer monsoon regional circulation pattern

influenced the subtropical high-pressure system strength and location

and ultimately affected the WNP TCs track patterns and thus changed their landfall locations.
