Characteristics of Typhoon Francisco

Track Track and Turn toward characteristics

Typhoon Francisco (200118) 的生命周期始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“NW—N—NE”抛物线型Moving特征. formed初期 (9月17日至19日) , 系统在13.5°N至14.9°N, 166.5°E至160.4°E之间缓慢 toward WN, The latitude变化较小, DuringW移显著. 9月20日后, 随着引导气流变化, 系统移速加快并逐渐转 toward NW direction, at 9月21日18时到达20°N附近.

The key turn toward point appeared before September 23 after. at this time the center of the system was at 25.5°N to 27.2°N, near 147.6°E, the length almost stagnated, then began toward toward N and NE direction turns. on September 24 to 25, Typhoon accelerated toward NE, the latitude rapidly climbed from 29.9°N to 41.9°N, the length also toward E retreated to 156.4°E. Thro the process, the Typhoon did not landfall any land, was always active on the ocean surface, and eventually weakened dispersed in high latitudes.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

在Intensity演变方面, Francisco经历了从Nameless到Super Typhoon的完整加强过程, 并在达到巅峰后迅速减弱. 9月17日至19日, 系统维持Nameless等级, 气压在1000hPa以上. 9月20日晚升级为Severe Tropical Storm, 随后在48h内快速增强, at 9月22日06时达到Severe Typhoon级别 (43m/s, 958hPa) . 9月23日18时, 系统在27.2°N附近达到peak intensity, 中心最低气压降至944hPa, max wind 达51m/s, 评定为Super Typhoon.

巅峰过后, 受高The latitude环境因素影响, intensity 急剧衰减. 9月24日18时已 weakened into Typhoon (35m/s) , 9月25日18时进一步降为Tropical Storm (20m/s, 994hPa) .

Its peak air pressure (944hPa) was low at 2013 Francesco (915hPa), but significantly strong at 2019 (955hPa), 2007 (987hPa) and 2025 (995hPa) with the same name Typhoon.
