Abstract:Using the tropical cyclone (TC) yearbook data from 1949 to 2000, the climatic characteristics of TC landing from the Yellow Sea or Bohai Sea are analyzed. They include the annual and seasonal distribution, evolution of intensity, tracks, genesis locations and extratropical transition (ET) of these TCs. Some facts of these TCs are almost intense, most of their ET processes occur in land and after ET the reintensified ones of them have longer maintaining periods than others. The region from north Yellow Sea to the boundary between China and North Korea as a location where these TCs' ET occurs most frequently is found.
