Comparison
A number of partners have agreed on a comparative study for SE Asia and the NW Pacific, namely to run their different regional atmospheric models for the storm-rich season of 1994 and the storm-poor season of 1998. The focus of the analysis will be on the number of storms, their tracks and their core pressure developments as well as on the mean circulation.
The suggested model area encompasses the main tropical cylone genenesis area in the NW Pacific and has its center at 140 degrees E and 25.5 degrees N.
