Typhoon activities and the relevant severe weather lead to disastrous loss of life and property in coastal cities of China.Numerical prediction of typhoons is the key to typhoon disaster mitigation and prevention.Ensemble prediction is a feasible method to quantify and reduce the uncertainty of numerical weather forecasts.This paper summarizes the research progress of typhoon ensemble forecasting in recent years, including the initial ensemble perturbation and the model perturbation schemes and statistical ensemble forecast post-processing techniques.Next, the developments of the main global and regional ensemble forecast systems worldwide for typhoons, including the advancements in China, are reviewed.Finally, based on the review, the remaining problems and possible research directions for typhoon ensemble forecasting are proposed and discussed.
