14 1st December 2009, Tokyo ( 日本財団ビル ) 台風の進路予測技術の高度化に関する国際会議 (International Workshop on Advancement of Typhoon Track Forecast Technique) Summary for General results Special observations contributed to improve the track forecasts. JANGMI Track forecasts and intensity forecasts were improved during before-recurvature stage. Using TC bogus contributed to the initial relocation and reducing intensity forecast bias. But, they degraded the track and intensity forecasts in some cases.

22 1st December 2009, Tokyo ( 日本財団ビル ) 台風の進路予測技術の高度化に関する国際会議 (International Workshop on Advancement of Typhoon Track Forecast Technique) Summary for Experiment A Focused on the typical case (00UTC on 25 Sep.) Dropwindsonde observations of C-130 and P-3 –Assimilating observations on south-quadrant and east-quadrant of JANGMI, typhoon circulation became slightly stronger, geopotential height on southeast side slightly increased. → Then, track forecast was improved and, intensity forecast was slightly improved. –Assimilating observations around center and north-quadrant of JANGMI, typhoon circulation on lower troposphere became stronger, geopotential height on northeast side increased and southwest side decreased. → Then, intensity forecast was improved. But, track forecast at the beginning was shifted southwestward. –The structure of SV perturbation seems consistent with the OSE results. The growth of SV perturbation in the linear model was similar to the evolution of the impact of special observations in the short-range forecast.
