Abstract The intensity change of past (1976–2005) tropical cyclones that made landfall along the south China coast (110.5°–117.5°E) is examined in this study using the best-track data from the Hong Kong Observatory. The change in the central pressure deficit (environmental pressure minus central pressure) and maximum surface wind after landfall are found to fit fairly well with an exponential decay model. Of the various potential predictors, the landfall intensity, landward speed, and excess of 850-hPa moist static energy have significant influence on the decay rates. Prediction equations for the exponential decay constants are developed based on these predictors.

<p>Tropical cyclones (TCs) are one of the most costly natural hazards on Earth, and there is a desire to mitigate this risk. It is securely established that TC activity relates to ENSO in all oceanic basins (e.g. N. Atlantic). However, when a recent multi-basin review of correlation coefficients to ENSO was applied to a financial model of losses related to TCs, there appeared to be no significant inter-relationship between the losses between regions (e.g. US, China). It is therefore of interest to examine the chain of environmental and anthropogenic processes from TC genesis to financial loss to examine how correlations degrade. A number of hypotheses are statistically investigated, primarily using Spearman's coefficient and ranks to decouple dependency structures from the marginal distributions, but also Poisson regression.</p>

Abstract This paper presents the important climatological features of the tropical cyclones making landfall along the South China coast and proposes a statistical scheme for the prediction of the annual number of such tropical cyclones. This number is found to have a large variation, which is mainly due to the occurrence or nonoccurrence of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon. A strong El Niño event is found to reduce the number of landfalling tropical cyclones whereas more tropical cyclones tend to make landfall in years associated with La Niña events. Such variations are more prominent in some seasons. The late season (October–November) activity is generally suppressed (enhanced) in El Niño (La Niña) years whereas the chance of a tropical cyclone striking the South China coast increases (decreases) significantly in the early season (May and June) after the mature phase of a La Niña (El Niño) event. These anomalous activities are apparently linked to the ENSO-induced anomalies in the low- and midlevel large-scale circulation. Based on the ENSO-related indices such as the Niño-3.4 sea surface temperature anomaly and the equatorial Southern Oscillation index, a statistical prediction scheme for the annual number of such landfalling tropical cyclones by 1 April is developed using the projection–pursuit regression technique. This scheme provides a 40% skill improvement in root-mean-square error with respect to climatology. A real-time prediction made in 2001 gave reasonable results.
