HU Yamin, SONG Lili, LUO Xiaoling. The Variation of the Location and Source Region of Tropical CyclonesMaking Landfall in Guangdong over the Past 58 Years[J]. Acta Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis SunYatseni, 2011,50(4):113-120.DOI:
Based on the data of Tropical Cyclones (TCs for short) making landfall in Guangdong from 1949 to 2006
the variations of TC parameters
such as frequency
landfall time
intensity and the relationship between these parameters and the source regions
have been analyzed. The folloing conclusions are obtained: (1) The highest (lowest) landfalling frequency of TCs occurs in the western subregion of western Guangdong (the middle subregion of eastern Guangdong). The peak period is from July to September. There occurs a weak descent trend in western Guangdong and the Pearl River Delta
but not in eastern Guangdong. (2) The source regions of TCs show an obvious seasonal distribution. Most of TCs are generated from SCS in May
then
the source region of TCs expands eastwards and northwards until September. Since October the source region moves southwards and westwards. There is no distinct relationship between the landfall time and source region. (3) The TCs with different intensities are originated from different regions. The source regions of TCs are the South China Sea (SCS)
the Philippines seabasin and the Caroline Islands. The Tropical Depress (TD) and Tropical Storms (TS) are mainly generated from the SCS
and the Strong Typhoons (STY) and Super Typhoons (SUPERTY) are originated from the West Pacific. There are more STS and TY than TD and TS. The intensity of landfalling TCs in eastern Guangdong is stronger than that in western Guangdong. TCs originated from the SCS mostly make landfall in western Guangdong and in the Pearl River Delta. The source regions of landfalling SUPERTY in the Pearl River Delta and eastern Guangdong move further southwards and eastwards than those in western Guangdong. The source regions of landfalling TCs in western and eastern Guangdong are mainly distributed in a beltshaped area from northwest to southeast
whereas the source regions of landfalling TCs in the Pearl River Delta are dispersed.
