The WNP is the most active TC basin globally, but satellite-era observations (1980\u20132023) show nuanced patterns in landfall frequency and intensity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Observations in this period are more reliable due to consistent satellite coverage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Related findings include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Global or basin-specific studies (e.g., Klotzbach et al.) have shown flat-to-declining overall TC frequency and ACE in recent decades, with mixed signals on intensity (some increase in the proportion of intense storms but not always in overall energy).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Longer-term reconstructions (e.g., Chand et al. 2022) suggest declining TC frequency over the 20th century, consistent with weakening Hadley\/Walker circulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Climate models (CMIP6 and others) often project future decreases in global TC frequency (e.g., 2\u201310% by late 21st century under high-emissions scenarios), alongside potential increases in the proportion of intense storms or shifts in tracks\/intensity in some basins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trends vary by basin (e.g., North Atlantic has shown increases in some metrics, partly linked to aerosols or other factors). Detection\/attribution remains challenging due to natural variability (ENSO, etc.), data limitations pre-satellite era, and differences in metrics (frequency vs. intensity vs. landfalls vs. ACE). Individual events like landfalling major typhoons can still cause significant impacts regardless of overall trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>There is an open-access paper by Bell et al.

Here, 44 years of observational TC wind speed (V<sub>max<\/sub>) and track records (1980\u20132023) are used to examine TC landfall intensity trends and recurrence. Analysis is conducted over individual nations and includes modulation by El Ni\u00f1o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), which has recently exhibited increasing asymmetries in spatial and temporal evolution. Two modern ENSO indices are first evaluated before one is selected to classify TC seasons into canonical phases. Landfall trends over individual nations are insignificant, but significant decreases are noted for the northern Philippines and parts of Micronesia, including for intense (&gt;&nbsp;\u200933&nbsp;m&nbsp;s<sup>\u20131<\/sup>) V<sub>max<\/sub>. However, the distribution of upper-tail V<sub>max<\/sub>&nbsp;values increases for 5 of 7 nations over the recent period, including the Philippines and Micronesia, confounding the impact of the much-noted poleward shift in WNP TC activity. Ex-TC landfall trends, while less robust, are also evaluated, and shown to have increased over the southwest corner of Japan. Lastly, a modified return period framework is employed to estimate the recurrence of V<sub>max<\/sub>&nbsp;at various locations based on \u201cpeak average\u201d speeds and the shape of a reference extreme value curve. The framework provides a consistent platform for estimating long-term return magnitudes with limited data, such as V<sub>max<\/sub>&nbsp;over land. 1-in-200 year V<sub>max<\/sub>&nbsp;intensities are estimated to be the highest over the Philippines, southern Japanese islands and Micronesia, and relatively lower over Vietnam, Korea and China.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tropical cyclone (TC) landfalls in the Western North Pacific (WNP) affect several nations and territories, including the Philippines, Taiwan, China (especially southern and eastern coasts), Japan, Vietnam, Korea, Hong Kong, and Micronesia.
