Abstract: Chapter 1 introduces the technical definition and description of cyclones/hurricanes/storms/typhoons and their interrelation with climate change, as documented in pertinent literature. A short information about typhoons in Southeast Asia (particularly the Philippines) is also discussed. The highlights of the selected key papers that studied typhoons and climate anomalies are summarized according to the focus of their studies and the models, methods, and data used for analysis – characterizing the influence of changes in climatological variables on cyclone/typhoon variabilities. The papers are grouped and presented according to the investigated area, i.e., outside and within the Southeast Asian region. This chapter also explains the rationale behind the chosen topic based on the research gaps identified from the literature review, specifically on papers studying typhoon-induced impacts on climatic variables surrounding its occurrence and the use of observational (GPCP, CRU, HadISST) and reanalyzed (ERA5) datasets. Moreover, the thesis study's objectives, scope, and limitations are illustrated. Chapter 2 defines the spatial coverage of the study, predominantly focusing on the geographical location of the target region (Southeast Asia) and its climate characteristics. This characterization is then associated with the region’s vulnerability to multiple climate hazards – one of which is constituted by cyclones, where “Typhoon Haiyan” that caused severe damage to some parts of the Philippines in November 2013, is highlighted. This chapter also describes the datasets used and the methodologies and tools adopted to collect, pre-process, and analyze them regarding the Typhoon Haiyan event and the climatological responses to it (e.g., trends and cycles). Chapter 3 illustrates the main results of the analysis, discusses the findings revealed by the results, and shows how the results and interpretations relate to previously published studies. Chapter 4 states the conclusions drawn and provides and outline of the theoretical implications, significance, and any possible future applications of the thesis work.
