Abstract:
      The movement of Typhoon Maggie (9903) in June 1999 is one of the rare cases ever seen in the history.At 00U on June 6 Maggie was located at about 70 km to the southwest of Taiwan.When it arrived at the coastal region of Shanwei City (22.8°N,116.5°E),it turned suddenly to move south westward along the southern China coastal line.On June 7 Maggie finally turned to move northward,making landfall to the north of Shangchuan Island.The experimental numerical prediction system on typhoon movement that was designed based on MM5 is proved quite successful for the 48h prediction of Maggie's movement and rainfall.The mean prediction error of typhoon track is 81 km for 0~24 h and 74 km for 24~48 h.
The location of typhoon center in the initial field of the model is approximately 100 km away from the actual observations.In order to modify the location of typhoon center,a bogus typhoon was introduced into the model and the prediction of typhoon track was improved in 0~24 h time interval.But the prediction error was enlarged in 24~36 h.
We also performed a sensitivity experiment of changing the land of southern China into the ocean.It is found that the orientation of South China coastal line and the topography have no obvious effect on the movement of Typhoon Maggie.
