  • A Pressure-Based Analysis of the Historical Western North Pacific
    AUGUST 2013 K N A P P E T A L . 2611 A Pressure-Based Analysis of the Historical Western North Pacific Tropical Cyclone Intensity Record KENNETH R. KNAPP NOAA/National Climatic Data Center, Asheville, North Carolina JOHN A. KNAFF NOAA/Center for Satellite Applications and Research, Fort Collins, Colorado CHARLES R. SAMPSON Naval Research Laboratory, Monterey, California GUSTAVO M. RIGGIO AND ADAM D. SCHNAPP* University of North Carolina Asheville, Asheville, North Carolina (Manuscript received 7 November 2012, in final form 11 February 2013) ABSTRACT The western North Pacific Ocean is the most active tropical cyclone (TC) basin. However, recent studies are not conclusive on whether the TC activity is increasing or decreasing, at least when calculations are based on max- imum sustained winds. For this study, TC minimum central pressure data are analyzed in an effort to better understand historical typhoons. Best-track pressure reports are compared with aircraft reconnaissance obser- vations; little bias is observed. An analysis of wind and pressure relationships suggests changes in data and practices at numerous agencies over the historical record. New estimates of maximum sustained winds are cal- culated using recent wind–pressure relationships and parameters from International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS) data. The result suggests potential reclassification of numerous typhoons based on these pressure-based lifetime maximum intensities. Historical documentation supports these new intensities in many cases. In short, wind reports in older best-track data are likely of low quality. The annual activity based on pressure estimates is found to be consistent with aircraft reconnaissance and between agencies; however, re- connaissance ended in the western Pacific in 1987.
