Typhoon Oliwa trajectory
Track and Turning Characteristics
Typhoon Oliwa (199716) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“W行—NW行—转 toward NE”的抛物线形态. formed初期 (9月6日至9月8日) , 系统位 at 14.9°N-18.3°N, 172.5°E-162.5°E之间, 主要受副热带高压S侧引导气流影响, 保持稳定的 toward WNW. 9月9日至9月12日期间, 随着纬度缓慢N抬至20.6°N, 经度迅速W进至142.7°E, Moving direction逐渐转为NW toward , 此阶段为Typhoon 接近最强盛期的关键时段.
A notable turning point occurred around September 13. Near 25.1°N, 135°E, Oliwa began to be drawn by southwesterly flow ahead of a trough in the westerlies, causing a marked change in track curvature. It gradually shifted from northwestward to northward, then turned northeast. After September 14, the system accelerated toward the northeast and finally weakened and dissipated at 37.4°N, 136.2°E on September 17. Throughout its entire lifecycle, the typhoon made no landfall and remained over the ocean.
Intensity Evolution and Peak Status
Oliwa’s intensity evolved through three stages: rapid intensification, a sustained peak, and gradual weakening. Beginning as a tropical storm on September 6 with winds of 20m/s and a central pressure of 995hPa, the system continued gathering energy while moving westward. From the evening of September 9 into the 10th, maximum sustained winds surged from 30m/s to 55m/s as pressure plummeted to 930hPa, enabling it to strengthen from a severe tropical storm into a super typhoon. At 08:00 on September 11, Oliwa reached its lifetime peak, with a minimum central pressure of 920hPa and maximum sustained winds of 60m/s, firmly establishing its super typhoon status.
Oliwa maintained its peak intensity for a long time. From September 10 to the evening of September 12, central pressure remained at or below 930hPa, while maximum sustained winds stayed at a high 55–60m/s. After turning northeast on September 13, its structure began to deteriorate as it moved northward and encountered cooler sea surface temperatures. Intensity rapidly declined to severe typhoon status at 45m/s. It then weakened further into a typhoon and severe tropical storm while moving toward higher latitudes, ultimately becoming a tropical depression with extratropical characteristics. Compared with other typhoons of the same name or around the same period, Oliwa reached exceptionally high intensity over the open ocean. Its minimum pressure of 920hPa indicated very strong core convection, but its track remained far from land, resulting in no direct landfall impacts.
