Track and Turning Characteristics
Typhoon Melissa (199425) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“W行-N折-NE toward ”抛物线形态. formed初期 (9月8日至10日) , 系统在低Latitude海域稳定 toward WMoving, Longitude从179.9°E快速W移至167.4°E, 纬度维持在10°N附近小幅波动. 9月11日至13日期间, 系统Moving速度减缓并出现轻微N抬迹象, 经度变化趋缓, 标志着引导气流开始发生转变.
The key turning process occurred from September 14 to 16. As the system moved north into the 15°N–23°N latitude band, its track gradually shifted from northwest to due north, before turning clearly northeast on September 17. This turning point was near 154.6°E. Thereafter, the system accelerated toward higher-latitude waters and finally dissipated in the extratropical region at 44.4°N on September 19. Throughout its lifecycle, this typhoon did not make landfall and remained entirely over the ocean.
Intensity Evolution and Peak Status
Melissa的Intensity演变经历了完整的“ formed-增强-巅峰-减弱”过程. 初始阶段为Tropical Depression, wind speed仅5m/s. 经过约4天的缓慢积累, at 9月12日 intensified into Tropical Storm, 随后Go to 快速增强期. 9月14日升级为Typhoon , 次日 (9月15日) 即爆发式增强为Super Typhoon, max wind 达到61m/s.
Peak intensity was maintained until September 16, with the center located at 22.8°N, 158.5°E and maximum sustained winds further increasing to 69 m/s, confirming its Super Typhoon status. However, as the system moved north into mid-to-high latitudes, environmental conditions deteriorated, causing rapid weakening. On September 17, it weakened to a Severe Typhoon with winds dropping sharply to 46 m/s; by September 18, it further weakened into a Severe Tropical Storm. In its final stage, although the system had transitioned into an extratropical cyclone, it retained significant wind force until observations ended at 18:00 on September 19 with Tropical Storm intensity. Compared to other typhoons named Melissa, this one reached an extremely high peak intensity over the open ocean, demonstrating the typical explosive potential of open-ocean typhoons. However, due to its eastward track and lack of landfall, it caused no direct wind or rain impacts on land.
