Characteristics of Typhoon Lingling
Path and Moving Characteristics
Typhoon Lingling (200123) 的生命史始 at 2001年11月6日08时, formed at Philippines以E洋面 (10.2°N, 128°E) . 在初始阶段, 系统呈现 toward WNW的Trend, 从128°E迅速W移至120°E附近. 值得注意的是, 该Typhoon 在Moving过程中纬度变化相对平缓, 从10.2°N缓慢N抬至13.6°N后趋 at 稳定, 整体路径呈现出显著的“W行为主, 微幅N翘”的特征.
在11月10日20时至11月11日08时期间, Typhoon 中心纬度维持在13.6°N不变, 经度从114.1°EW移至112.5°E, 表明此时引导气流以纯W风分量为主, 路径近乎直线 toward W. 随后, 系统继续 toward W穿Vietnam海N部, 直至11月12日20时在Vietnam以E海域 (13.4°N, 106.2°E) weakened into Tropical Storm. 整个生命周期内, Typhoon 未发生明显的转 toward 或Landfall行为, 始终保持在海上活动.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
Lingling’s intensity followed a typical rapid intensification, peak-maintenance, and rapid weakening cycle. Initially a tropical depression, its pressure gradually fell from 1004hPa. After entering the South China Sea, it began strengthening significantly from November 9, rapidly developing from a severe tropical storm into a typhoon. At 20:00 on November 10, it reached severe typhoon intensity, with maximum winds of 50m/s and minimum pressure dropping to 945hPa. At 08:00 on November 11, the system reached its lifetime peak, with minimum pressure falling further to 940hPa and maximum winds holding at 50m/s. After maintaining peak intensity for about 12h, it weakened sharply due to environmental factors, with maximum winds dropping from 50m/s to 25m/s and pressure rising to 985hPa within 24h.
Compared with previous typhoons of the same name, the 2001 Lingling was of moderately high intensity. Its peak intensity as a severe typhoon, with a pressure of 940hPa, far exceeded the 2025, 2014, and 2007 storms of the same name, all of which reached only tropical storm intensity with pressures of at least 990hPa. It was slightly weaker than the 2019 Lingling, which reached super typhoon intensity with a pressure of 930hPa. This shows that while the name Lingling has often been associated with weaker systems, under specific atmospheric conditions it can still develop into a powerful tropical cyclone with severe typhoon strength.
