On a Method of Predicting the Path of Typhoon

Abstract

Typhoon of summer can be considered in good approximation to move by the general current, hence the path of typhoon will be predicted by removing the cyclonic current due to typhoon itself from the actual field of air current. Assuming that the velocity distribution in typhoon is given by the field of general current was constructed numerically from the observation of upper air current for some actual examples, and the suggestion was confirmed.
