Short summary
Tracking tropical cyclones (TCs) remains a matter of interest for investigating observed and simulated tropical cyclones. In this study, Random Forest (RF), a machine learning approach, is considered to track TCs. RF associates the TC occurrence or absence with different atmospheric configurations. Compared to trackers found in the literature, it shows similar performance for tracking TCs, better control over false alarms, more flexibility, and reveals key variables for TCs' detection.
