Abstract
A climatology of stratospheric gravity waves (SGWs) induced by tropical cyclones (TC-SGWs) is necessary for stratospheric aviation safety and accurate numerical weather prediction. Few previous works have characterized the climatology of TC-SGWs, and the relative importance of the source and background wind for TC-SGWs has not been clearly established. Here we present the distribution of TC-SGWs formed over the northwest Pacific Ocean based on 30 years of ERA5 reanalysis data. Using explainable artificial intelligence, we found the background wind in the lower stratosphere to be more important than TCs in controlling the distribution pattern of TC-SGWs. The background wind shear can influence the direction of TC-SGW propagation by refraction and filtering, which influences the distribution pattern of the TC-SGWs. The TC intensity only influences the TC-SGW intensity. Our results provide information on TC-SGW hotspots and suggest the importance of the background wind shear.
