Does a typhoon belong to the climate?

Typhoon is a weather phenomenon, but its formation is also influenced by latitude and land and sea. Just look at the formation of typhoons.

As we all know, the cause of typhoon is developed from the disturbance of tropical atmosphere. In the tropical ocean, the sea surface is exposed to direct sunlight, which makes the temperature of seawater rise, and the seawater is easy to evaporate into water vapor and spread in the air. Therefore, the air in the tropical ocean has high temperature and high humidity, and this air expands due to high temperature, resulting in the decrease of density and weight. The wind near the equator is weak, easy to rise, and convection occurs. At the same time, the surrounding cold air flows in to replenish and then rises again. This cycle will eventually make the temperature of the whole air column higher and the mass lower. Air flows from high pressure to low pressure, just as water flows from high pressure to low pressure, air with higher ambient pressure will flow to low pressure, thus forming "wind". In summer, due to the direct sunlight moving from the equator to the north, the southeast trade winds in the southern hemisphere cross the equator and become southwest monsoon to invade the northern hemisphere. When they meet the northeast trade wind in the northern hemisphere, the air is forced to rise, thus increasing the convection. Due to the different directions of southwest monsoon and northeast trade wind, when they meet, they often cause fluctuations and vortices. The convergence caused by the southwest monsoon and the northeast trade wind and the continuation of the original convection make the vortex with low pressure continue to deepen, that is, the air around it accelerates to flow to the center of the vortex, and the faster the flow, the greater the wind speed; When the maximum wind speed near the ground reaches or exceeds17.2m per second, we call it a typhoon.

Judging from the typhoon structure, such a behemoth must have unique conditions.

First of all, there must be a vast atmosphere with high temperature and high humidity. The temperature and humidity of the bottom atmosphere on the tropical ocean surface are mainly determined by the sea surface temperature, and typhoons can only form on the warm ocean surface where the sea surface temperature is higher than 26℃-27℃ and the sea surface temperature is higher than 26℃-27℃ within 60 meters.

Second, there should be an initial disturbance in which the lower atmosphere converges to the center and the upper atmosphere spreads outward. Moreover, the divergence of the upper layer must exceed the convergence of the lower layer in order to maintain enough updraft and continuously strengthen the disturbance of the lower layer;

3. The difference of vertical wind speed should not be too big, and the relative motion of the upper and lower air is very small, so that the latent heat released by water vapor condensation in the initial disturbance can be stored in the air column in the typhoon eye area, forming and strengthening the typhoon warm center structure;

Fourth, there must be enough geostrophic deflection, and the earth's rotation is conducive to the formation of cyclonic vortices. The geostrophic deflection force is close to zero near the equator and increases at the north and south poles. Typhoons basically occur on the ocean surface about 5 latitudes from the equator.
