Abstract: This study analyzes the climatological characteristics of autumn tropical cyclones (TCs) occurred over the western North Pacific (WNP) over the past twenty years (2002-2021), including genesis frequency and location, intensity, and tracks, based on the TC Annual Report from Shanghai Typhoon Institute, China Meteorological Administration. More attentions were paid on those TCs making landfall in China, especially the features of heavy precipitation and strong wind observed during TC landing periods. Results show that there were totally 201 autumn TCs occurred over the WNP during 2002-2021, with 39 of them making landfall in China, accounting for 19.4% of the total and showing a majority of the TCs being super (25.9%) and intense typhoons (21.9%). Before 2010, the number of autumn TCs was relatively low (9.4 per year), but the proportion of those making landfall in China was high (25.8%). After 2010, the number of TCs increased (10.5 per year), but the proportion making landfall in China decreased (14.7%). The trend in autumn TCs during 2002~2021 was insignificant. On average, about 1.95 autumn TCs make landfall in China each year, with super and intense typhoons together accounting for 61.5% of them. About 3-4 TCs making landfall in China were observed each year before 2010 with rapid annual oscillation, while the number decreased to 2 per year and kept stabilization afterwards. Most autumn TCs made landing in Hainan, Guangdong, and Taiwan provinces of China during the study period. In general, the maximum observed wind speed and maximum 24h precipitation associated with autumn TCs at individual stations generally show a linear relationship, indicating that the stronger the maximum observed wind speed, the heavier the 24 h maximum precipitation. However, the trends of both variables are insignificant. In comparison, autumn TCs making landfall in Guangdong province have the strongest winds and heaviest precipitations.
