Abstract:
The disaster characteristics for East China caused by tropical cyclones in 1949—1999 were analyzed.By using numerical statistical analysis and quantitative calculation,the disaster index was built along separate routes.And on this base,objective damage assessment for TC was also given.A contrast testing with Suffir-Simpson index of TC was made using an independent data set.Finally,an assessment method for tropical cyclone disasters was given.
