英文摘要: | The present study provides a climatology of multiple tropical cyclone (TC) events (MTCEs) and the potential environmental factors responsible for triggering MTCEs in the North Atlantic (NATL), eastern North Pacific (EPAC), and western North Pacific (WPAC). While single TC events (STCEs) occur more frequently than MTCEs in each basin, a substantial fraction (34%-57%) of all TCs within each basin occur during MTCEs. Comparison of the total monthly number of MTCEs and STCEs reveals significant correlations (0.79 ≤R ≤0.90), while nonsignificant correlations exist between the annual number of MTCEs and STCEs. New TCs that form during MTCEs occur in the eastern main development region east of the STCE formation location in the NATL and EPAC, while new TC formation locations are spread evenly throughout the WPAC during both MTCEs and STCEs. The spatiotemporal separation between TCs during MTCEs is consistent among basins with median zonal distances between TCs of ~(1640-2010) km and median temporal separation between TC formation of 3.00-3.25 days. Composites of EPAC MTCEs suggest the existence of significantly stronger large-scale intraseasonal anomalies compared to STCEs, which may favor EPAC MTCE occurrence. Eastward zonal group velocities and the agreement of the zonal wavelength of TC-induced Rossby waves with the observed zonal distance between TCs suggests that Rossby wave radiation may contribute to a substantial fraction of MTCEs in all basins. These results suggest remarkable similarity in MTCE characteristics among basins, while potentially indicating that the large-scale environment is preconditioned for EPAC MTCE occurrence. © 2016 American Meteorological Society. |
