Abstract
We conducted a numerical experiment using the Weather Research & Forecasting Model (WRF) model to explore the impacts of sea surface temperature (SST) warming and urbanization on tropical cyclones (also known as typhoons) in Shanghai, the largest city on the east-southern coast of China. The video shows that as the sea temperature rises, the track of typhoon Rumbia moves southward due to the existence of two typhoons and their mutual influence—the Fujiwara effect. The increase in SST also brings intensified typhoon rainfall and stronger wind velocity. Details on the experiment and results are summarized in the paper submitted to Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences by Zhuang et al. (2024) entitled "Escalating typhoon risks in Shanghai amid shifting tracks driven by urbanization and sea surface temperature warming."
