Abstract:In 2016, there were three landing and four impacting typhoons seen in Fujian Province, showing the non uniform temporal distribution and serious disasters. Analysis indicates that main causation of Fujian typhoon distribution in 2016 is due to the evolution of SSTA (sea surface temperature anomaly) over the central and eastern equatorial Pacific and the response of atmospheric circulation. The enhancing or stronger monsoon trough favors the typhoon group genesis from late July to mid August over northwestern Pacific and the active influence of Typhoons “Meranti” and “Malakas” within a weak in mid September, characterized by significant low frequency variability. Statistical analysis also demonstrates that the number of typhoon genesis and impacting Fujian may be strongly linked to the tropical intraseasonal oscillation. Nearly 70% typhoons are generated when MJO is active during phases 5-7. Prediction assessment suggests that the extended range forecast based on the atmospheric low frequency theory could fill the gap between monthly seasonal term prediction and short medium term weather forecast.
