Abstract

This research reveals a correlation between the 11-year solar cycle and the occurrence of off-season super typhoons (November-April) in the western North Pacific. The solar cycle influences sea surface temperature (SST) through a footprint mechanism, amplified by atmospheric and ocean interactions. This mechanism has become more effective since the 1990s due to the Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation (AMO) shifting to a warm phase. Incorporating solar cycle information can improve decadal disaster preparedness.
