Features: This book elaborates on and summarizes the author's research achievements in tropical cyclone theory over the past 20 years. The content covers studies on the abrupt changes and predictability of tropical cyclones, the dynamics of anomalous motion of tropical cyclones, the impact of the asymmetric structure of tropical cyclones on their movement, isodynamic line dynamics of tropical cyclones, energy dispersion of tropical cyclones and their "waveguide" theory, anomalous motion of typhoons under terrain forcing, the interaction between tropical cyclones and mid-latitude environmental systems, structural and intensity abrupt changes of tropical cyclones, as well as the landfall of tropical cyclones and forecasting decision-making models. The book addresses cutting-edge scientific issues in the field of typhoon studies both domestically and internationally, systematically reveals the theoretical research and experimental achievements from recent major international typhoon scientific experiments, and proposes modern perspectives and insights on tropical cyclone dynamics theory. It serves as a reference for researchers and practitioners in the field of atmospheric science, as well as for university teachers, students, and postgraduate researchers.
