Abstract
Typhoon numbers and intensity according to the sea areas of occurrence(sea area of A : Caroline Marshall Islands and vicinity, sea area of B : north of $20^{\circ}N$, sea area of C : greater coasting area of Philippines, sea area of D : South China Sea) were analyzed for 22years from 1986 to 2007 using the meteorological administration's data. Yearly mean typhoon numbers are 26.3 and are showed decreasing trend in the sea areas of A, B, C and D. The decreasing trend is especially notable in the sea area of A and is slight in the sea area of D. Yearly mean typhoon number is most in the sea area of A(13.8, about 53％ of all), the next orders are the sea area C(5.6, about 21％), sea area of B(3.8, about 14％) and sea area of D(3.1, about 12％). Typhoon intensity is strongest in the sea area of A(mean central minimum pressure : 951hPa), the next orders are the sea area C(970hPa), sea area of B(975hPa) and sea area of D(983hPa). The time series of yearly mean central minimum pressures for whole sea area is showed slightly decreasing trend, it means that typhoon intensity is strengthened gradually. Results of this ste seare in accord with simulated results on typhoon vntrations in the global warming.
