Abstract

The factors influencing the structure and track deflection of tropical cyclones were discussed. Experiments were carried out including and excluding the effects of surface sensible and latent heatflux over land with the spun-up vortex placed at 150 km from the coast. The results showed that the tropical cyclones have a tendency to move towards land in the presence of a long coast. This was interpreted as the long coast structure forced the large scale asymmetric flow which steered the tropical cyclones.
