Further studies are needed to investigate the impact of submesoscale dynamics on typhoon intensity prediction. The development of more accurate coupled prediction models that resolve submesoscale dynamics is a key area of future research. Investigating the applicability of the study's findings to other typhoon events and regions is necessary.

Further research is needed to understand the role of tropical cyclones in the formation of Arctic cyclones. The study suggests the need for more accurate forecasting models for Arctic cyclones. The research highlights the importance of continued monitoring of sea surface temperature anomalies in the western North Pacific.
