Typhoon Tapah, international code 200201, international name TAPAH, 2002 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 2002-01-08 06:00:00, ended: 2002-01-14 00:00:00. Peak intensity: Severe Tropical Storm, minimum central pressure: 987 hPa, max wind: 25m/s.
Typhoon Tapah at 2002-01-08 06:00:00 at 6.7°N, 140.5°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.
It peaked at Severe Tropical Storm intensity with max winds of 25 m/s (~90 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 987hPa, recorded at 2002-01-12 12:00:00.
Typhoon Tapah gradually weakened and was numbered off on 2002-01-14 00:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 24 track points.
Typhoon Tapah (200201) formed at Northwest Pacific低The latitude海域, 其生命史呈现出典型的W行后转 toward N上的MovingTrend. 从2002年1月8日06:00在(6.7°N, 140.5°E)初生为Nameless开始, 系统整体 toward W. 在1月8日至1月10日期间, Typhoon 中心纬度缓慢N抬, During持续W移, 横穿Philippines以E洋面. 值得注意的是, 1月10日06:00至18:00期间, 系统在(9.4°N, 134.1°E)附近出现短暂的纬 toward 停滞, 随后加速 toward W推进.
As the Center moved to (11.6°N, 129.1°E) nearby, the Typhoon Moving direction gradually shifted from W to NW, and eventually turned to N. Thro the course, the Typhoon did not landfall any land, continued to be active at sea, until January 14 00:00 at (19.1°N, 122.1°E) weakened dispersal.
In terms of Intensity evolution, Tapah underwent a slowly increased and rapidly weakening process. The initial phaseined NamelessIntensity for three and a half days, Pressure slowly dropped from 1004hPa to 1000hPa. The real fast enhancement period appeared in the night of January 11 to the morning of January 12, max wind jumped from 17m/s to 23m/s, Pressure gradually dropped to 991hPa, and at January 12 at 06:00 reached its peak, was rated as Severe Tropical Storm. However, the peak stateined Time extremely short, after only about 12h, since January 13 at 06:00, the system began to weaken significantly, wind speed dropped back to 20m/s and below, air pressure rose back to over 994hPa, and eventually decreased to Nameless
Its peak minimum air pressure is 987hPa (note: peak air pressure in the data table is recorded as 991hPa, but the summary pointed out the minimum air pressure is 987hPa, compared with the summary peak data, or according to the minimum sample point analysis of 991hPa, based on the sample point discrepancy, the actual lowest possible between at, here based on the 'peak intensity' description) , max wind 25m/s. In comparison, 2019, 2014 and 2025 the same name Typhoon has reached a stronger level, of which 2019 and 2014 Tapah peak is both Typhoon level, minimum pressure up to 975hPa; in 2025 Tapah is the same as Severe Tropical, but the lowest pressure is Storm9hPa in the beginning of the year, and there is also a low level at
