Since 2000, City University of Hong Kong has been issuing real-time predictions of the annual number of tropical cyclones (TCs) affecting the western North Pacific. Verifications of the predictions have shown that the predictions are mostly correct within the error bars. The organization also began to predict the number of TCs making landfall in South China and the Korea and Japan region in 2009 and 2010 respectively. These are all statistical predictions with predictors drawn from a large group of indices that represent the atmospheric and oceanographic conditions in the previous year up to the spring of the current year. This report reviews the success of the predictions.

Since the 2009/10 season, the Guy Carpenter Asia-Pacific Climate Impact Centre (GCACIC) at City University of Hong Kong has been issuing real-time forecasts of the annual number of tropical cyclones affecting the Australian region and its sub-region. The prediction for the eastern Australian region is also included in the 2010/11 season. These are all statistical predictions with predictors drawn from a large group of indices that represent the atmospheric and oceanographic conditions during the pre-season. This report reviews the success of the forecasts.

This new research brief from Guy Carpenter Asia-Pacific Climate Impact Centre, City University of Hong Kong reports on verifications of forecasts in 2010. Since 2000, City University of Hong Kong has been issuing real-time predictions of the annual number of tropical cyclones (TCs) affecting the western North Pacific (WNP). Verifications of the predictions have shown that the predictions are mostly correct within the error bars. We also began to predict the number of TCs making landfall in South China (SC) and the Korea and Japan region (KJ) in 2009 and 2010 respectively.
