Typhoon Vipa Trail Characteristics Analysis

Track Track and Turn toward characteristics

2001年第17号Typhoon “Vipa”的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific洋面, 整体路径呈现典型的先N后NE的抛物线型Moving特征. formed初期 (9月16日至17日) , 系统位 at lat 20°至23°N, 138°至140°之间, 主要 toward N direction缓慢Moving, During变化较小, 显示其受副热带高压W侧气流引导较为稳定. 9月18日起, 随着The latitude升高至26°N以上, 路径开始显现出明显的 toward E分量, Moving direction逐渐由正N转为NE.

When the system Moving to lat 30° near, influenced by the SW airflow before the W windbar, the shift speed accelerated and the path significantly curved toward E. On September 20 at 18, the Typhoon centered at lat 36.1°N, 145.8°, then continued toward NE direction rapid Moving, and finally at September 21 at 12 reached the lat 42.6°N, 157.4° high latitude and ended the observation.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

From the perspective of Intensity evolution, “Vipa” underwent a continuous and stable enhancement process. The initial phase was Nameless, Pressureined at 1002hPa. On September 18, at 06:00, wind speed increased to 20m/s, upgraded to Tropical Storm; then within 12h quickly intensified into Severe Tropical Storm. On September 19, at 00, Pressure dropped to 976hPa, max wind to 33m/s, officially reached Typehoon level.

The data show that in 2007 'Vipa' had reached Super Typhoon level (minimum air pressure 925hPa), in 2013 'Vipa' was Severe Typhoon level (minimum air pressure 945hPa), even in the future 2025 'Vipa' simulation data also showed its minimum air pressure 965hPa, slightly lower at 2001 case.
