The Experiment on Typhoon Intensity Change in the Coastal Area (EXOTICCA) and Some Related Observational Research

近海台风强度变化科学试验

Over the past twenty years, a multitude of in situ and remotely-sensed capabilittes have been developed to observe typhoons in the western North Pacific, including spaceborne, airborne, seaborne, and ground-based instruments, using both crewed and uncrewed platforms. These observations provide valuable information for forecasters, numerical models, and researchers to mitigate the impacts of typhoons at landfall. The Experiment on Typhoon Intensity Change in the Coastal Area (ExoTICCA) field campaign, first proposed in 2013 and supported by the WMO/ESCAP Typhoon Committee, uses these capabilities and continues to this day. As its name indicates, EXOTICCA focuses on typhoon intensity change processes using a multitude ofobserving technologies to better monitor, understand, and ultimately predict typhoon intensity change.

This talk will highlight the successes of EXOTICCA over the years, showing novel observing technologies and how they have been used to observe and research high-impact tvphoons. Additionally, a new experiment will be discussed that broadens its focus to incorporate multiple facets of a landfalling typhoon' s hazards -- winds, turbulence, rainfall, and storm surge - and their associated impacts by more new techniques and more international cooperation. The motivation and goals for this new experiment, some examples of ongoing research targeting these goals, and new collaborations being forged with international partners will also be discussed.
