Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Podul (2001年第22号) formed at Northwest Pacific低The latitude海域, 初始Position位 at 4.5°N, 157.6°E. 在生命史初期 (10月17日至19日) , 系统呈现缓慢的W折MovingTrend, During从157.6°E微移至155.9°E, 纬度仅由4.5°NN抬至6°N, 表明其受赤道附近微弱引导气流影响, Moving速度较慢且路径曲折. 自10月20日起, 随着系统增强为Tropical Storm, 其Moving direction转为稳定的NNW direction, 纬度迅速从8.9°N提升至18.5°N.

值得注意的是, 该Typhoon 在10月24日至25日期间出现了一次显著的W折调整. 坐标显示, Center从156.9°E (10月24日06:00) toward WMoving至154°E (10月25日18:00) , 随后在10月26日后重新转 toward NE direction加速Moving. 最终, 系统 at 10月28日在39.2°N, 162.8°E weakened into Tropical Storm并结束监测. 整个生命周期内, Typhoon Podul始终在海上活动, 无Landfall记录, 路径整体呈现“先NW, 后W折, 再NE”的复杂形态.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Starting from the Tropical Storm (23m/s) on October 20, the system improved drastically in about 4 days. Especially between October 22 and 23, max wind jumped from 38m/s to 64m/s, Pressure dropped from 967hPa to 916hPa. On October 24 at 06:00 and October 25 at 18:00, Typhoon twice reached peak intensity, max wind was both 71m/s, minimum pressure low to 898hPa, confirmed to be Super Typhoon level. Even during toward N's high latitude Moving, itined 66m/s SuperhoonIntensity on October 26, showing extremely strong core structural stability. Until October 27 toGo 31.3°N to the aftermath of the sea, the environment changed, intensity reduced rapidly until the Typhoon Series decline.

The Podul peak in 2025 was only Severe Typhoon (955hPa), while the Podulpeak intensity in 2013 and 2007 onlyined at the Tropical Storm level (air pressure of 1000hPa and 998hPa respectively).
