Track Track and Moving Features

2002年第5号Typhoon “Rammasun”的生命周期始 at Northwest Pacific洋面, 整体路径呈现典型的NW toward Moving后转 toward NE的抛物线形态. formed初期 (6月26日至28日) , 系统位 at 低The latitude海域 (约9.6°N-10.7°N) , 受引导气流影响, 主要 toward WN direction缓慢Moving, During从139.2°EW移至135.2°E. 6月29日起, 随着Intensity提升为Tropical Storm, 其Moving速度加快, 路径逐渐转为NW direction, 纬度迅速N抬.

July 1st to July 3rd is the crucial turning point of the path. Typhoon's center moves from 15.3°N fast N to 23.8°N, with length moves from 133.1°EW to 125.8°E, showing a strong NW propulsion momentum. On July 3rd, at 6:00 p.m. to reach the highest W-end position, the path curvature changes significantly. During July 4th, from 00:00 to 18:00, although the latitude continues to rise to N to 30.7°N, the length changes are very small (124.3°E to 123.8°E) , indicating that the system has a short stagnation or turn toward signs at the sub-tropical high pressure edge.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

该Typhoon 经历了完整的生命史Intensity变化, 从初始的Nameless (7m/s, 1006hPa) 迅速增强. 6月29日升级为Tropical Storm, 7月1日发展为Severe Tropical Storm, 并在18h内爆发式增强为Typhoon (38m/s) . 7月2日12:00, Pressure骤降至938hPa, wind speed达53m/s, 确立Super Typhoon地位. 7月3日06:00至7月4日00:00, Typhoon 维持peak intensity, minimum pressure 933hPa, max wind 56m/s, 持续约18h. 7月4日18:00后, 随着The latitude升高和海温降低, intensity 迅速衰减, 转化为Typhoon , Tropical Storm, 最终 weakened into Nameless.

Compared to the same name Typhoon, Rammasun's peak intensity in 2002 (933hPa, 56m/s) was weak at 2014 Rammasun (910hPa), but strong at 2008 Rammasun (945hPa) .
