Typhoon Doug trajectory analysis
Track and Turning Characteristics
Typhoon Doug (199414) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“W进-N上-NE折 toward ”抛物线形态. formed初期 (8月1日至3日) , 系统位 at 15°N附近, 受副热带高压S侧引导气流影响, 稳定 toward WMoving, 经度从144°E快速W移至138.8°E. 8月4日至6日期间, 路径维持W direction并略微N抬, 穿越Philippines以E洋面, 直逼巴士海峡以E海域.
The key turning phase occurred from August 7 to 8. After moving beyond 22°N, the system accelerated significantly toward the north, reaching approximately 26.5°N, 121.5°E on August 8, which can be regarded as a turning point in its track. It then gradually turned northeast under the influence of the flow ahead of a trough in the westerlies. After August 9, its track shifted clearly eastward, with longitude increasing from 123.3°E to 125.7°E, before it weakened and dissipated over the Yellow Sea. It made no landfall during its entire lifecycle and was mainly active over the open ocean and nearshore transition zones.
Intensity Evolution and Peak Status
Doug's intensity evolution went through three stages: rapid intensification, a period of peak intensity, and gradual weakening. It began as a Tropical Depression on August 1 (12m/s, 1006hPa) and quickly organized while moving westward, developing into a Typhoon in just three days. On August 5, maximum winds near the center reached 50m/s and the pressure fell to 945hPa, establishing its status as a Severe Typhoon.
On August 6, the system reached its peak at 18.2°N, 126.3°E, with a minimum pressure of 935hPa and maximum winds of 50m/s. Notably, from August 6 to 7, despite moving north to 22.2°N, its core intensity remained at the lower threshold of a Severe Typhoon (50m/s), indicating strong structural stability. After entering the high-latitude waters on August 8, the system began to weaken due to cooler sea surface temperatures and increased vertical wind shear, with wind speed dropping to 40m/s and its status downgraded to Typhoon. It continued to weaken and, by its dissipation on August 13, had degenerated into a Tropical Depression (15m/s, 1000hPa). Compared with previous typhoons bearing the same name, Doug in 1994 displayed remarkable explosive power and persistence, reaching an extremely low pressure of 935hPa and maintaining Severe Typhoon intensity for several days.
