Interestingly, the number of off-season super typhoons appears to be correlated with the yearly sunspot number (SSN), especially in recent decades. The sunspot number serves as a proxy for solar activity during the well-known 11-year solar cycle 4, 5, which can affect the total solar irradiance (TSI) reaching the Earth’s surface.
These analyses demonstrate that the 11-year solar cycle, through its SST footprint mechanism, can create favorable (unfavorable) atmospheric conditions during its active (inactive) periods, resulting in an increase (decrease) in the occurrence of off-season super typhoons. Fig. 4: Atmospheric circulation responses to solar forcing.
As shown in Fig. 1b, the SSN time series fluctuates at an 11-year frequency and the co-variation between the SSN and off-season super typhoon number indicates that more super typhoons occur during active solar cycle periods compared to inactive periods.
The occurrence of super typhoons (categories 4 and 5 on the Saffir–Simpson scale) during this off-season can result in extensive damage to property and loss of life.
Our solar power systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
By incorporating information about the solar cycle, we can anticipate the likelihood of super typhoon occurrences, thus improving decadal disaster preparation and planning.
