TYPHOON

A typhoon is a mature tropical cyclone that develops

between 180° and 100°E in the Northern Hemisphere. This
region is referred to as the Northwestern Pacific Basin, and
is the most active tropical cyclone basin on Earth, accounting
for almost one-third of the world's annual tropical cyclones.
DIFFERENT STRUCTURE OF TYPHOON
Based on the cloud structure, a mature
typhoon can roughly be divided into three
regions, namely the eye, the eye wall and the
spiral rain bands (Figure 1). The "eye" is
roughly circular and is found at the centre of a
typhoon. ... The eye is the region of lowest
surface pressure (Figure 2 & 3) and highest
temperatures.
HOW A TYPHOON DEVELOPS?
A typhoon forms when winds blow
into areas of the ocean where the
water is warm. These winds collect
moisture and rise, while colder air
moves in below. This creates
pressure, which causes the winds to
move very quickly. ... In order for a
storm to be a typhoon, wind speeds
have to reach at least 74 miles per
hour.
HOW TO TRACK A TROPICAL CYCLONE

The simplest method used to forecast

the track of tropical cyclones is to
extrapolate the motion of the tropical
cyclone during some past period, say
12 to 24 hours, for the next 12 to 24
hours.
