There are many reasons caused the fail of TY<br />

FENGSHEN’s track prediction such as failing<br />

to predict the large scale environmental flow,<br />

TS vortex was incorrectly presented in vortex<br />

initialization scheme., etc.<br />

Referring to the importance of vortex initialization<br />

scheme in CMA’s TS prediction system<br />

experiments were conducted in modifying<br />

intensity scheme - partly removing shallow<br />

vortex+bogus vortex in vortex relocation (Ma<br />

and Qu, 2009) to see the effect of vortex intensity<br />

presentation in TY FENGSHEN’s track prediction.<br />
