文摘By using the equations describing typhoons in the atmosphere, the steady three-dimensional stream fieldand the corresponding pressure and temperature fields are obtained. The three-dimensional velocity fields construct anonlinear autonomuos system in the physical space. It is shown that the center of typhoon is a local minimum pressurewith positive vertical vorticity and horizontal convergence in lower levels and a local maximum pressure with negativevertical vorticity and horizontal divergence in the upper levels. Because there exits two saddle-focus points in the autnomous system, there exist the spiral patterns, in which the winds blow spirally in and out of the center in the lowerand upper levels in the Northern Hemisphere and cause the ascending motion near the center and dascending motionnear the edge, respectively . All these are in fair conformity with the observations. It implies that the rotation of earthand the viscosity of air play an important role in the spiral structure of typhoons.
