This study discusses the long-term variation of Tropical Cyclone Translation Speed (TCTS) near the North Atlantic coast during 1948-2019 and its relationship to the midlatitude jet stream and storm migration. Results show a prominent seasonality in TCTS, with significant increases in June and October and a slowdown in August in recent decades. September shows no significant change in TCTS, as the effects of jet stream displacement and storm migration largely compensate each other.
Tropical cyclone (TC) translation speed (TCTS) can affect the duration of TC-related disasters, which is critical to coastal and inland areas. The long-term variation of TCTS and its relationship to the variability of the midlatitude jet stream and storm migration is discussed here for storms near the North Atlantic coast during 1948-2019. Our results reveal the prominent seasonality in the long-term variation of TCTS, which can be largely explained by the seasonality in the covariations of the midlatitude jet stream and storm locations. Specifically, significant increases of TCTS occur in June and October during the past decades, which may result from the equatorward displacement of the jet stream and poleward migration of storm locations. Prominent slowdown of TCTS is found in August, which is related to the weakened jet strength and equatorward storm migration. In September, the effects of poleward displacement and weakening of the jet stream on TCTS are largely compensated by the poleward storm migration, and therefore no significant change in TCTS is observed. Meanwhile, the multidecadal variability of the Atlantic may contribute to the multidecadal variability of TCTS. Our findings emphasize the significance in taking a seasonality view in discussing the variability and trends of near-coast Atlantic TCTS under climate change.
