Evaluation of Western North Pacific Typhoon Track Forecasts in Global and Regional Models during the 2021 Typhoon Season

The track forecasts of tropical cyclones (TC) in the western North Pacific (WNP) basin during 2021 typhoon season with five global models and four regional models are evaluated here. The results show that the average direct position errors (DPEs) of the global and regional models are approximately 8...
