abstract = {To save lives and reduce damage from the destructive
impacts of a typhoon, an accurate and fast forecast method
is highly demanded. Particularly, predictions for short lead
times, known as nowcasting, rely on fast forecasts allowing
immediate emergency plannings in the affected areas. In this
paper, we propose a generative adversarial network that
operates on a single graphics processing unit, to predict
both the track and intensity of typhoons for short lead
times within fractions of a second. To investigate the
effects of meteorological variables on typhoon forecasts, we
conducted a parameter study for 6-h track predictions. The
results of the study indicate that learning velocity,
temperature, pressure, and humidity along with satellite
images have positive effects on prediction accuracy. To
address the limited access to observational data and
facilitate predictions for 12-h intervals, we replaced
satellite images with reanalysis data of the total cloud
cover and vorticity fields. This replacement led to an
increase in data from 76 to 757 typhoons, and it reduced the
error of the 6-h track forecasts by $23.5\%.$ The best
combination of the parameter study yields track predictions
in intervals of 6 and 12 h with the corresponding averaged
absolute errors of 44.5 and 68.7 km. Typhoon intensities are
predicted by extracting information from generated velocity
fields with averaged hit rates of $87.3\%$ and $83.2\%$ for
6- and 12-h interval forecasts, respectively. For typhoons
after 1994, tracks and intensities for 12-h intervals are
compared to forecasts from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center
and Regional Specialized Meteorological Center Tokyo.},
