1. Introduction
Typhoon forecasting with high accuracy is required to reduce social and financial damage. Since a typhoon accompanies various extreme atmospheric-ocean phenomena, the typhoon itself can be a cause of compound hazards around Western Pacific. Typhoon intensity and track are critical concerns in the coastal regions during boreal summer and autumn due to torrential rainfall, vigorous winds, storm surges, and oceanic waves [1,2,3]. Typhoon tracks are known to be mainly determined by beta drift [4], and background steering winds [5]. In addition to those, land surface friction, and other atmospheric conditions over land and ocean affect the typhoon tracks [6,7,8]. The intensity is influenced by vertical wind shear [9,10], oceanic thermodynamic conditions [11,12,13], and the internal dynamics of the typhoon itself [14]. Despite the remarkable advancements in the scientific knowledge of typhoons, current dynamical models for numerical prediction still have large uncertainties for typhoon forecasts. Therefore, for a more reliable typhoon forecast, many operational numerical weather forecasting agencies, including the Korea Meteorological Agency (KMA;
When a typhoon forecast is performed, information such as the typhoon location (°E and °N), radius (km) of strong winds (RSW; >15 m/s), and minimum pressure (hPa) is announced by the operational administration center based on the operational forecasting model output. The specific parameters representing typhoon characteristics are estimated using sophisticated numerical ensemble modeling results, which are the most reliable and best output at each moment. Meanwhile, Thompson and Cardone [17] developed a parametric typhoon model to generate two-dimensional horizontal fields of surface wind and pressure from the typhoon information announced by the operational center. At first, the parametric typhoon model was developed and used for recreating hurricane winds in the Atlantic basin and those affecting the USA [17]. After that, this model was broadly applied for both research and operational purposes, even on other basins such as Indian Ocean basin [18], and Western Pacific [19]. This diagnostic method has the advantage in accuracy compared to the use of direct typhoon simulation data attained from a member of the ensemble simulations.
The parametric typhoon model is based on the basic vortex model [17,20,21], and its essence is the reproduction of horizontal pressure fields and pressure gradient force, generating horizontal surface winds. The parametric typhoon model calculates pressure as follows [22,23]:
(1)
where is the pressure field representing the typhoon, is the pressure at the typhoon center (minimum pressure), is the pressure difference between the minimum and background normal conditions. Rmax is the radius of the maximum wind, and is the distance from the typhoon center.When a typhoon approaches Korea or is predicted to propagate toward Korea, typhoon information is noticed on the KMA website. The predicted typhoon location and minimum pressure are listed at each time step until the typhoon turns into an extratropical cyclone. However, there is no information about the Rmax, which is the distance from the typhoon’s center to the point of maximum wind speed (Figure 1). As shown in Equation (1), Rmax is an essential parameter to reconstruct the horizontal structure of a typhoon pressure field.
The Rmax can be obtained by direct measurement using an aircraft, estimated from satellite images, and other empirical methods [24,25,26,27,28]. However, for near real-time prediction, the Rmax estimation from the parameters announced by the KMA is the simplest and best way, if that is possible. Therefore, in this study, we propose a strategy for estimating the Rmax from RSW to predict the two-dimensional characteristics of typhoons.
2. Data and Methods
The surface wind in the fifth generation of the atmospheric reanalysis dataset [29] from the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ERA5) from 1981 to 2020 was extracted to calculate the daily wind climatology. In situ wind speed observations were downloaded from the KMA data portal website (
The southernmost point (125.18° E, 32.12° N) of the wind observation is an Ieodo Ocean Research Station (Figure 2), located 149 km southwest of Jeju Island in Korea [30,31] (on the path of most typhoons approaching Korea). In general, the radius of a small typhoon is approximately 200 km, and 1°N is approximately 96 km. Therefore, typhoons affecting Korea were selected as typhoons located north of 30° N.
3. Estimation of the Radius of Maximum Wind Speed
In the previous study, Rmax calculation methods from typhoon central pressure, the meridional location of the typhoon, migration speed, and maximum wind in climatological typhoon information were suggested [28,32]. The empirical formula derived from the climatological characteristics of typhoons is similar to the multivariable linear regression method. This approach is very efficient; however, the variables used as input data in mid-latitudes (>30° N) are often significantly correlated, and show a low correlation with Rmax. This means that higher-order polynomials rather than a linear formula should be used, and the multivariable method may not be needed to be considered.
First, for the statistical estimation of Rmax, we need to determine the optimized Rmax for each typhoon affecting Korea based on the parametric typhoon model. For that, the model simulation was repeated, with increasing Rmax from 30 to 120 km at 1 km intervals for 22 typhoons affecting Korea from 2018 to 2022, excluding typhoon Hinnamnor (Table 1). The model domain was 117°–135° N and 25°–44° N, with a 0.083° horizontal interval and a time step of 1 hour. After the iteration of the model simulation, the simulated surface wind speeds were compared to in situ KMA (17 observation points) and Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology (KIOST; 3 observation points) wind speed observations in the oceans surrounding Korea (Figure 2). Over land, the wind speed reduces due to drag and friction; however, the parametric typhoon model does not consider these processes. Therefore, for a fair comparison, only the data at ocean sites were used.
Figure 3 shows the root mean square error (RMSE) between the observational surface wind speed of each typhoon located north of 30°N and the parametric typhoon model outputs with the prescribed Rmax ranging from 30 to 120 km. The individual gray line shows the RMSE at every time step, and the red line shows the time average. The minimum value of the RMSE at each line was selected for the optimized Rmax. Consequently, the Rmax varied in each typhoon case and at each time step [33]. Here, the optimized Rmax tended to decrease when typhoons approached Korea due to a decrease in typhoon energy with a smaller horizontal size and weaker intensity in general. The Rmax was larger in the subtropics, when the typhoon was more intense and larger than that located at midlatitudes.
Twenty-three typhoons directly impacted Korea from 2018 to the summer of 2022; however, only 22 typhoons, excluding Hinnamnor (2211), were analyzed for the calculation of RMSE and Rmax estimation. In Figure 3, the RMSE of typhoons Soulik (1819), Trami (1824), Danas (1905), Krosa (1910), Tapah (1917), Maysak (2009), Haishen (2010), Lupit (2109), Omais (2112), and Songda (2205) are shown as examples. One of the strongest typhoons, Hinnamnor (2211), was analyzed as the validation case. The estimated optimal Rmax from the parametric model simulations showed no significant correlation with RSW (R = 0.22). Here, a correlation coefficient indicated a linear relationship. Therefore, to apply a higher-order non-linear relationship between Rmax and RSW, polynomial fitting was used to calculate Rmax from RSW. The number of samples used for polynomial fitting for each typhoon was not selected equally due to the different lifetime and migration speeds of individual typhoons. The least-squares error polynomial fitting result between the estimated Rmax and RSW is as follows:
(2)
The correlation coefficient between the calculated Rmax from RSW via Equation (2) and the estimated Rmax from the RMSE of the observational surface wind speed was approximately 0.37 for the number of ~2200 samples (22 typhoons, and 100 timesteps on average). For example, the polynomials, including typhoon Hinnamnor, were not significantly different from Equation (2) (not shown). One thing to note is that the order of polynomials should be odd because of the semi-linear relationship between Rmax and RSW.
4. Simulation of Hinnamnor Surface Wind and Storm Surge Height
For the simulation of typhoon surface wind, the KMA best track data (Table 2) and the estimated Rmax via Equation (2) were used in the parametric typhoon model simulation for Hinnamnor (2211). The climatological daily mean surface wind fields of ERA5 atmospheric reanalysis data were used as the background wind (Figure 4a). The climatological surface wind speed was less than 5 m/s; therefore, its effect was not fatal. However, the use of the climatological background state is definitely better than the use of a non-existent background wind field or a random constant value. The simulated horizontal wind and pressure features of Hinnamnor on 5 September 2022 are shown in Figure 4b. The intense wind speeds when the typhoon arrived are well-matched with the in situ observations at Geojedo (Figure 4c). Other wind observation location results near the typhoon center show similar results to the Geojedo data (not shown); however, there is a large difference in wind speed far from the typhoon center. The wind speed simulation before the typhoon arrival tends to be incorrect due to the absence of the other atmospheric phenomena such as midlatitude synoptic disturbance or typhoon generating Rossby waves.
As an implication of the parametric typhoon model results, the simulated pressure and wind data were prescribed as input data for the storm surge model simulation [19,34]. Here, the Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute-Storm surge model (KORDI-S) [35] was used. Realistic and accurate wind and pressure input data are needed to predict storm surges precisely [36]
5. Conclusions and Discussion
The strategy for simulating the parametric typhoon model and storm surge model suggested in this study can be summarized as follows:
Step 1. Iterative simulation of the parametric typhoon model with Rmax ranging from 30 to 120 km.
Step 2. Identifying the optimized Rmax by comparing it with surface wind speed observations over oceans.
Step 3. Polynomial fitting of Rmax using RSW (>15 m/s), and calculation of Rmax using Equation (2).
Step 4. Simulation of parametric typhoon model and KORDI-S surge model.
For Step 1, the daily climatology of the background surface wind was prescribed for a more realistic horizontal wind simulation. In Step 4, the parametric typhoon model simulation results were used as the KORDI-S surge model input data. The observation data were finally validated for one of the strongest typhoons, Hinnamnor. The parametric typhoon model reproduced the surface wind speed at Geojedo, and the storm surge prediction results matched adequately with the ocean observations, particularly in Busan, Gadeokdo, and Ulsan. In addition, for more validation, the simulations were performed in an additional two cases: Chaba in 2016, and Soulik in 2018); as a result, the typhoons and surge height were well simulated, even in such cases (not shown).
The correlation between the estimated Rmax from wind observations in the surrounding oceans and the calculated Rmax from RSW using the fifth-order polynomial was approximately 0.37 (marginally statistically significant value at 95% confidence level). To improve the correlation skill, least-square error polynomial fitting using the polynomial of degree 20 was performed (not shown). Then the correlation increased to 0.47; however, considering the overfitting problem, using excessively high-order polynomials may be unsuitable. The correlation skill of Rmax is not very high; however, the wind and storm surge simulation results when the typhoon is located near Korea are pretty good, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5. This implies that the skill mainly comes typhoons impacting Korea, and typhoons far from Korea may have low accuracy using this technique.
In this study, we used surface wind speed observations for polynomial fitting; however, the observed pressure can also be used to calculate the optimal Rmax and least-squares fitting [38]. The RSW and minimum pressure at the typhoon center showed a correlation of ~0.8. However, wind observations rarely include large measurement errors; therefore, multivariable fitting using both surface wind and pressure may provide a more stable solution. In addition, the formula must be changed if the series of procedures presented in this study is repeated for other target regions affected by tropical cyclones. Equation (2) is just one of the optimized solutions for a parametric typhoon model simulation around Korea in the last five years. This empirical polynomial was calculated based on the parametric typhoon model results. Therefore, there may be a slight difference between the calculated Rmax and those estimated from actual observations such as satellite images.
The parametric typhoon model provides the simplest way to generate two-dimensional horizontal structures with surface wind and pressure using the most reliable typhoon track and intensity prediction announced by the KMA. However, the use of only limited typhoon information causes errors because no parameters show the asymmetric structures of typhoons. The KMA performs an ensemble forecast to reduce the uncertainty of typhoon track and intensity. That means there are large errors in the individual ensemble member showing the specific typhoon features. Therefore, the parametric typhoon model is now believed to be one of the best alternative methods for filling the gap between our requirements and reality. Ultimately, we should develop a dynamic model with better typhoon simulation skills.

Abstract
The parametric typhoon model is a powerful typhoon prediction and reproduction tool with advantages in accuracy, and computational speed. To simulate typhoons’ horizontal features, the longitude and latitude of the typhoon center, central pressure, radius of maximum wind speed (Rmax), and background states (such as surface air pressure and wind speed) are required. When a typhoon approaches or is predicted to affect Korea, the Korea Meteorological Agency (KMA) notifies the above-mentioned parameters, except for the Rmax and background state. The contribution of background wind and pressure is not very significant; however, Rmax is essential for calculating typhoon winds. Therefore, the optimized Rmax for the typhoons over the past five years was estimated at each time step compared with the in situ wind observation record. After that, a fifth-order polynomial fitting was performed between the estimated Rmax and the radius of strong wind (RSW; >15 m/s) provided by the KMA. Finally, the Rmax was calculated from the RSW via the empirical equation, and the horizontal fields of typhoon Hinnamnor (2211) were reproduced using a parametric model. Furthermore, the ocean storm surge height was adequately simulated in the surge model.
