the adjoint sensitivity. The locations of DOTSTAR’s dropwindsondes well match the sensitive region. Dropwindsonde data have a positive impact on the track forecasts of Meari. The ADSSV method is applied to identify the signals of the binary interaction. Typhoon Fengshen (2002) is sensitive to the steering flow of Typhoon Fungwong, but the sensitivity for Typhoon Fungwong to the steering flow of Typhoon Fengshen is rather insignificant.

Theme: Accurate tropical cyclone track forecasts are of foremost importance to the increasing population in coastal areas worldwide, necessitating advances in all facets of the numerical prediction process. These include the observational network, the data assimilation schemes that blend these observations with the numerical first guess field, the vortex initialization schemes and the dynamics, physics, and resolution

  • f the models themselves, and methods to target observations to
  • ptimize the reduction in forecast error. During the past 30 years, the

forecast skill for tropical cyclone track has increased steadily because

  • f improvements in all of these areas. In particular, advances have been

made in targeted observations and data assimilation over the past

  • decade. This Monthly Weather Review special collection gathers

together a series of timely papers on these topics, many of which have resulted from multinational collaborations.

The mean 1- to 5-day track forecast error is reduced by about 10%–20% for both DOTSTAR and T-PARC cases in the NCEP system. The impact in the ECMWF system is not as beneficial as in the NCEP system, likely because of more extensive use of satellite data and more complex data assimilation.
