It presents a comprehensive review of the state of science and forecasting of tropical cyclones together with the application of this science to disaster mitigation, hence the tag: From Science to Mitigation. Since the previous volume, enormous progress in understanding tropical cyclones has been achieved. These advances range from the theoretical through to ever more sophisticated computer modeling, all underpinned by a vast and growing range of 410 0$aWorld Scientific series on Asia-Pacific weather and climate ;$vv. 4. 606 $aCyclones$zTropics 607 $aTropics$xClimate$vObservations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCyclones 676 $a551.552 701 $aChan$b Johnny C.
