Typhoon Della Trail Characteristics

Characteristics of Moving Path

Typhoon Della (197811) has a short life history, from formed to dispersed for about 3.5 days. Its overall path shows a stable NW toward MovingTrend, with no apparent turn toward or stagnation phenomenon.Initial phase (August 10 00:00 to 12:00) , system position at Philippines at E surface (12.7°N, 128.8°E near) , main toward NNW direction slow Moving.

During the period from August 11 to August 12, Typhoonined a relatively consistent shift speed and direction, with latitudes pushing from 16.3°N rapidly to 22.4°N, and length from 128.7°EW to 123.4°E. It is worth noting that when the system crossed the Strait by E, the path line was higher, with no noticeable oscillation. until the end of life (August 13) , with the latitude rising to 25.3°N, the system continued toward NW direction deeper into the W side of the sea area of the Taiwan Strait, eventually weakening dispersion near Fujiancoastal.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

In terms of Intensity, Della belongs to the weaker heat cycling system. Its initial Intensity is Nameless (10m/s) ,ining a low pressure level for up to two days of Time, wind speed fluctuates only between 10-15m/s. Until August 12, 06:00, when Center moved to 21.5°N, 124.3°E, the system was only enhanced to Tropical Storm, max wind to 20m/s. Then quickly reached peak intensity 23m/s, andined about 18h. After August 13, 06:00, with system N, wind speed began to fall back, until disintegration has weakened into 12m/s. By the lack of air pressure data, only on the basis of wind speed can judge its structure loose, the enhancement process slow and low peak value.

Historical records show that the 'Della' in 1963, 1968, 1971 and 1974 respectively reached the levels of Super Typhoon, Super Typhoon, Typhoon and Severe Typhoon.
