What is it about?
The dynamic effect of the intraseasonal oscillation (ISO) in inducing category-5 typhoon in the tropical WNP is identified. This new finding expands C5-typhoon development study into a new area and will quickly promote follow-up studies.

Why is it important?
It is demonstrated that intraseasonal atmospheric convection and near-surface moisture convergence likely play a more influential role in inducing C5 typhoons than does ocean heat content. This is a view that is not reported before.
Perspectives
It has broad implication in typhoon forecast and climate change impact studies. Variation and change in intraseasonal oscillation provides clear indication of the C5-typhoon occurrence.
