Six-hourly observations containing 18 parameters of
tropical storms and typhoons in the western north Pacific
Ocean during the period 1960 through 1969 were examined.
The data were composited into four periods: before and
after maximum intensity for East-West moving storms, and
before and after recurvature for recurving storms.
Monthly and seasonal variations of tropical cyclone intensity,
speed of movement and size were examined. Correlation
coefficients of the 18 tropical storm and typhoon parameters
were computed for each of the four composited periods of study.
The four highest correlation values for the past 24-hour change
of intensity parameter were checked for levels of significance.
