A new approach for location-specific seasonal outlooks of typhoon and super typhoon frequency across the Western North Pacific region

Abstract With an average of 26 tropical cyclones (TCs) per year, the western North Pacific (WNP) is the most active TC basin in the world. Considerable exposure lies in the coastal regions of the WNP, which extends from Japan in the north to the Philippines in the south, amplifying TC related impact...
