Typhoon Paka Trail Characteristics
Track and Movement Characteristics
Typhoon Paka (199725) at 1997年12月11日14时在Northwest Pacific洋面 formed, 初始Position位 at 6.7°N, 168.6°E. 在整个生命史中, 该Typhoon 始终保持 toward WNW, 未出现明显的转 toward 或折返现象. 从经纬度变化来看, 其路径呈现出稳定的NW toward 推进态势: 纬度从初期的6.7°N逐步上升至终结时的18.5°N, 经度则从168.6°E持续W移至131.3°E. 整个过程中, Typhoon 中心并未Landfall任何land, 最终在海上减弱消散. 这种长About 离, 无Landfall的纯海上路径, 使其能量释放主要通过与海洋及大气的相互作用完成, 而非通过land摩擦消耗.
Intensity Evolution and Peak Status
Paka的Intensity演变经历了典型的“增强-巅峰-波动-减弱”过程. formed初期, 其wind speed为35m/s, 气压970hPa. 随后Go to 快速增强期, 至12月16日02时达到生命史巅峰, 此时中心最低气压降至930hPa, max wind 高达55m/s, 被评定为Super Typhoon. 值得注意的是, 在达到巅峰后, 其Intensity并未立即单调递减, 而是在Severe Typhoon级别 (45-50m/s) 维持了较长Time. 从12月16日20时至12月19日02时, 尽管气压在940hPa至945hPa之间波动, wind speed在45m/s至50m/s间震荡, 显示出核心结构在一定时期内保持了较高的稳定性. 直至12月19日20时后, 系统才开始显著减弱, 最终 at 12月22日08时 weakened into Tropical Depression并结束code.
Comparison of Typhoon
A comparison between Paka in 1997 and previous typhoons with the same name reveals a marked intensity advantage. The peak intensity of Paka in 1997 was super typhoon, with a minimum pressure of 930hPa and maximum wind speed of 55m/s. By contrast, Paka in 2022 (202225) peaked only as a tropical storm, with a minimum pressure of 995hPa. Paka in 2017 (201714) and 2012 (201201) both peaked as severe tropical storms, with minimum pressures of 980hPa and 985hPa, respectively. The data show that Paka’s minimum pressure in 1997 was at least 50hPa lower than in the three subsequent storms of the same name, while its maximum wind speed was at least 15m/s higher. It was the strongest and most destructive same-named typhoon recorded in recent decades.
