  12. JMA 5-day track forecast 4 times/day (00, 06, 12, 18 UTC) 5-day track forecast It is expected to hold TS intensity or higher in the next 3 days. 3-day track & intensity forecast issued about 90 minutes after the hour issued about 50 minutes after the hour Day 5 Over 50kt-wind probability area Day 4 Over 50kt-wind area 70% probability circle Day 3 Over 30kt-wind area 70% probability circle

  13. JMA 5-day track forecast JMA mainly uses Typhoon EPS for 5-day track forecast. A probability circle is deployed in ensemble forecast approach. A circle radius is decided based on an ensemble spread. A circle center is put based on an ensemble mean position. ―ensemble mean ―GSM ―ensemble mean ―GSM

  14. Feature of JMA 5-day track forecast 1. The radius of a probability circle changes depending on the uncertainty of forecast which is shown mainly by the latest Typhoon EPS data. 2. The center of a probability circle is not so important.

  15. JMA 5-day track forecast Our verification result say that the radius of 70% probability circle enlarges in proportion to ensemble spread (forecast uncertainty). Group C Group A Group B This distance includes 70% of forecast cases (center positions) in Group C. (2007-2008) TEPS

  16. JMA 5-day track forecast The center of probability circle just means the center of forecast uncertainty area. If TEPS members separate into 2 courses clearly, ensemble mean track is low probability. Line with circles: each member track Green line with squares: ensemble mean track

  17. How to use JMA 5-day track forecast Probability circles indicate potential tracks up to the next 5 days. We should consider all potential tracks within a circle.Thetrack through circle centers is just one of potential tracks.

  18. Examples of 5-day track forecast [Circle] 6 hourly position [Circle with number] Position at 00UTC Number: Day [TC grade] TY STS TS 01 Oct. 3rd case (27/06UTC) 2nd case (26/18UTC) 1st case (26/06UTC) 24 Sep. Best track of Jangmi (0815) Forecast experiment

  19. Examples of 5-day track forecast DAY5 DAY4 DAY3 DAY2 DAY1 ANAL The circle indicates that the there is fair possibility for Jangmi to make landfall in China. 1st case

  20. Examples of 5-day track forecast DAY5 DAY4 DAY3 DAY2 DAY1 ANAL The enlarged circle indicates that forecast uncertainty increased than the previous forecast (1st case). (suggestion: potential for both recurving and moving westward) 2nd case Little change of a circle center compared to the previous forecast.

  21. Examples of 5-day track forecast 3rd case DAY5 DAY4 DAY3 DAY2 DAY1 ANAL The shrunk circle indicates that forecast uncertainty decreased than the previous forecast (2nd case). (suggestion: higher possibility of recurving and less possibility of moving westward)

  22. Summary of my presentation I hope our products and tools will contribute to the typhoon monitoring activities of your organizations. Thanks!!
