Abstract: A close relationship between typhoon future motion and Sea Surface Temperature(SST) from meteorological satellites over the northwest Pacific Ocean is revealed based on the analyses of 17 typhoon tracks and high resolution SST and conventional weather map during 1990 -1991 typhoon season. The relationship shows that typhoon moves along the constant SST lines around warmer SST area and in parallel to or along its axis and avoids cooler SST area it encounters on the way when there is no stronger weather system affecting. In the northwest Pacific, basically there are four patterns of typhoon motion such as moving westward, northwestward ,norhtward and parabolically and the above relationship for each patern is exhaustively shown by 5 selected representive examples from the 17 typhoons and related SST fields. The mechanism of effect and SST variation caused by typhoon motion are briefly discussed.
