Call for Papers: “Typhoons in 2018–2019” in the Journal of the Meteorological Society of Japan (JMSJ) and Scientific Online Letters on the Atmosphere (SOLA)

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the Special Edition on “Typhoons in 2018‒2019” in the Scientific Online Letters on the Atmosphere (SOLA) and Journal of the Meteorological Society of Japan (JMSJ). Typhoons are one of the most destructive weather systems with potentially serious impacts on human life, economy, social system and the environment. In particular, typhoons Jebi (2018), Faxai (2019) and Hagibis (2019) that made landfall in Japan caused serious natural disasters. In addition to the intensity and track of typhoons of 2018-2019, there is increasing interest in clarifying factors and processes of extraordinary high winds and heavy rains associated with the typhoons from a meteorological and climatological perspective. In this Special Edition, we will welcome any works on the typhoons in 2018‒2019 based on observations, data analyses, and numerical simulations on any time scales. Some relevant topics are also welcomed.
