Unleashing the power of the Sun: the increasing impact of the solar cycle on off-season super typhoons since the 1990s

C. Wu, Y. Lin, et al.

This research reveals a fascinating link between the 11-year solar cycle and the rise of off-season super typhoons in the western North Pacific. Conducted by Chau-Ron Wu, Yong-Fu Lin, I-H Lin, and Jin-Yi Yu, the study uncovers how solar influences can enhance our understanding of typhoon patterns and improve disaster preparedness.

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.
