Claim:
1. A method for comparison of multiple tropical cyclone routes, which is implementable through a mobile device having an application processor and a touch-sensed display, to determine multiple reference cyclone routes for a concerned cyclone route comprising: establishing multiple H historical cyclone routes, which are recorded and saved in a form of matrix in a memory on the mobile device, corresponding to multiple H historical cyclone events; showing a geographical schematic map on the touch-sensed display; providing a user to input a series of the M estimated cyclone center coordinates to represent the concerned cyclone route for a concerned cyclone event directly on the geographical schematic map shown on the touch-sensed display by touching the touch-sensed display, simply according to one's own subjective estimation of the user to the concerned cyclone route, and recording and saving M in a form of matrix in the memory on the mobile device; computing multiple H×M minimum distances between each of the M estimated cyclone center coordinates and the respective H historical cyclone routes, in which each of the M estimated cyclone center coordinates is correspondent to H minimum distances and each of H historical cyclone routes is correspondent to M minimum distances, by the application processor; for the respective H historical cyclone routes, rendering the estimated cyclone center coordinates correspondent to the minimum distance less than a given radius to be weighted and summating the weighted results; ordering the summated results from large down to small for the H historical cyclone routes by the application processor; and selecting the historical cyclone routes ranked within a specific ranking threshold as the reference cyclone routes relevant to the concerned cyclone route by the application processor.
