2001-10-18 06:00:00 After, Typhoon Haiyan gradually weakened and was numbered off on 2001-10-18 06:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 29 track points.

Characteristics of Typhoon Haiyan

Track Track and Moving Features

2001年第21号Typhoon “Haiyan”的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific洋面, 整体路径呈现典型的NW行随后转 toward NE的抛物线形态. formed初期 (10月11日至12日) , 系统位 at 130°E至131.7°E之间, The latitude维持在16°N至17.5°N附近, Moving速度缓慢且 direction主要为WN. 自10月13日起, 随着Intensity提升, 其移速加快并稳定 toward NW direction推进, During从130°E迅速W移至124.4°E, 纬度同步N抬至25.4°N.

The key turning point of the path appeared between 06:00 and 18:00 on October 16th. During this period, after the Typhoon center reached the most W-end position (124.4°E), affected by the mid-high-latitude W-band guided airflow, the path occurred a significant right turning, from NW toward to NE toward Moving. After that, the system accelerated toward toward to expand the ocean far away, the length moved from 124.4°E fast to 138.4°E, the latitude continued to N to 31.8°N. During the entire life cycle, the Typhoon did not landfall any land, the entire course of sea activity, eventually dispersed at JapanE with the ocean.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

“Haiyan” underwent a complete formed, development, peak and decline process. Initial phase is Nameless, Pressure1002hPa. During the 13th to 15th of October, the system underwent a rapid enhancement period, max wind increased from 23m/s to 46m/s, Pressure gradually decreased to 954hPa, reaching Severe Typhoon level. Peak stateined about 12h (October 15th, 18:00 to 16th, 06:00) , then by turning toward NGo to higher latitudes, influenced by lower sea temperature and vertical wind shifts, intensity began to weaken steadily.

In comparison with the same name Typhoon, the 2001 “Haiyan” Intensity intersected between the 2007 and 2013 “Typhoon” with the same name. the 2013 30th Typhoon “Haiyan” had reached the Super Typhoon level, the minimum pressure was low to 890hPa, destructive; and the 2007 17th Typhoon “Haiyan” developed only to Tropical Storm, minimum pressure 998hPa.
