Quantification of the downstream impactof extratropical transition forTyphoon Jangmi and other case studiesZur Erlangung des akademischen Grades einesDOKTORS DER NATURWISSENSCHAFTENder Fakulta¨t fu¨r Physik desKarlsruher Instituts fu¨r Technologie (KIT)genehmigteDISSERTATIONvonDipl.-Met. Christian Michael Warnfrid Gramsaus KarlsruheTag der mu¨ndlichen Pru¨fung: 21. Oktober 2011Referent: Prof. Dr. Sarah C. JonesKorreferent: Prof. Dr. Klaus Dieter BehengThis version of the dissertation includes an analogue movie of Jangmi’s lifecycle from tropical cyclogenesis overreintensification, mature typhoon stage, landfall in Taiwan, extratropical transition to final decay. To watch themovie take the printed version in your left hand, backcover facing up. With your right hand take all pages after page◦ ◦20. Flip the pages and enjoy the movie. The movie shows two-hourly MTSAT IR2 satellite imagery in a 20 x20frame centred on the surface position of Jangmi. The page number indicates the time in hours starting at 00 UTC24 September 2008.
