摘要 Part I of this two-part documentation of the ECMWF ensemble (ECEPS) new tropical cyclone track and intensity forecasting challenges during the 2024 western North Pacific season described four typhoons that started well to the south of an unfavorable external environment north of 20° N. In this Part II, five other 2024 season typhoons that formed and intensified near and north of 20° N are documented. One change is that the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies ADT + AIDT intensities derived from the Himawari-9 satellite were utilized for initialization and validation of the ECEPS intensity forecasts. Our first objective of providing earlier track and intensity forecast guidance than the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) five-day forecasts was achieved for all five typhoons, although the track forecast spread was large for the early forecasts. For Marie (06 W) and Ampil (08 W) that formed near 25° N, 140° E in the middle of the unfavorable external environment, the ECEPS intensity forecasts accurately predicted the ADT + AIDT intensities with the exception that the rapid intensification of Ampil over the Kuroshio ocean current was underpredicted. Shanshan (11 W) was a challenging forecast as it intensified to a typhoon while being quasi-stationary near 17° N, 142° E before turning to the north to cross 20° N into the unfavorable external environment. While the ECEPS provided accurate guidance as to the timing and the longitude of the 20° N crossing, the later recurvature near Japan timing was a day early and 4 degrees longitude to the east. The ECEPS provided early, accurate track forecasts of Jebi’s (19 W) threat to mainland Japan. However, the ECEPS was predicting extratropical transition with Vmax ~35 kt when the JTWC was interpreting Jebi’s remnants as a tropical cyclone. The ECEPS predicted well the unusual southward track of Krathon (20 W) out of the unfavorable environment to intensify while quasi-stationary near 18.5° N, 125.6° E. However, the rapid intensification as Krathon moved westward along 20° N was underpredicted.
