TC22

This report describes the results of a nationwide survey on tropical cyclones in the United States. The 2022 Tropical Cyclone Survey (TC22) was designed and administered by the Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis (IPPRA) at the University of Oklahoma. It was fielded June 30 – July 8, 2022, using an online questionnaire that was completed by 2,082 U.S. adults (age 18+) that were recruited from an Internet panel that matches the characteristics of the U.S. population as estimated in the U.S. Census. The TC20 survey, the first in this series, was designed to establish baseline measures of the extent to which U.S. adults receive, understand, and respond to tropical cyclone forecasts and warnings as well as trust in the National Weather Service (NWS), extreme weather and climate risk perceptions, risk literacy, interpretations of probabilistic language, and weather preparedness. The TC21 survey refined these measures and included a few questions about information preferences along the event timeline. The latest iteration of the survey, TC22, continues to track these base measures, while adding questions that test experiments related to the level of trust the public places in broadcast meteorologists depending on background and demographic characteristics and public perceptions of flood and storm surge products. This report briefly describes the methodology, survey data collection, data weighting, and a reproduction of the survey instrument with weighted means and frequencies for the questions that elicited numeric responses.

The University of Oklahoma provided funding for all data collection. NOAA’s Weather Program Office through the U.S. Weather Research Program provided funding for survey design and data analysis.

本报告阐述了美国全国范围内热带气旋调查的结果。2022年热带气旋调查（TC22）由俄克拉荷马大学公共政策研究与分析研究所（IPPRA）设计并实施。该调查于2022年6月30日至7月8日开展，采用在线问卷形式，由2082名18岁及以上的美国成年人完成；这些受访者来自一个网络样本库，其特征与美国人口普查估计的美国人口特征相匹配。本系列首次调查TC20旨在建立基准指标，以衡量美国成年人接收、理解和响应热带气旋预报与预警的程度，以及对美国国家气象局（NWS）的信任度、极端天气与气候风险感知、风险素养、概率语言解读能力及天气防灾准备情况。TC21调查优化了这些指标，并新增了若干关于事件时间线中信息偏好的问题。作为该调查的最新迭代版本，TC22继续追踪这些基础指标，同时新增了测试实验相关问题——包括公众对不同背景和人口统计特征的广播气象学家的信任度，以及公众对洪水与风暴潮产品的感知。本报告简要介绍了研究方法、调查数据收集、数据加权，以及调查工具的复现——包括针对收集到数值响应的问题的加权均值与频率。

俄克拉荷马大学为所有数据收集提供资金支持。美国国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）下属的天气项目办公室通过美国天气研究计划，为调查设计和数据分析提供资金。
