Typhoon Chataan Route Analysis
Track and Turning Characteristics
Typhoon Chataan (2002年第6号) 的生命史长达13天以上, 整体路径呈现显著的“NW-N-NE”抛物线型Moving特征. formed初期 (6月29日至7月3日) , 系统在低纬度海域 (4.8°N至7.8°N) 活动, 路径较为曲折, 曾出现短暂的W折后转为NW. 7月4日起, 受引导气流影响, 系统加速 toward NW direction推进, 纬度从9.7°N迅速攀升至7月9日的25.3°N, 经度则从149.2°EW移至132.4°E.
The key turning point occurred between July 9 and July 10, when the typhoon's center near 25° completed a turn from northwest toward northeast. It then moved rapidly northeast over the ocean east of Japan, with its latitude climbing from 29.2°N to 36.1°N in two days. It finally dissipated on July 12 in the high-latitude waters at 47.5°. Throughout its entire lifecycle, the typhoon made no landfall and remained over the open ocean.
Intensity Evolution and Peak Status
Chattan's intensity followed a typical pattern of gradual intensification, rapid explosive growth, a sustained peak, and rapid weakening. It began as a tropical depression and then strengthened steadily. On July 6, with its center at 15.3°N, wind speed surged to 45 m/s, upgrading it to a severe typhoon. From July 8 to July 9, the system reached its peak intensity, with minimum pressure falling to 940 hPa and maximum sustained wind speed reaching 50 m/s. It maintained this intensity for about 24 hours.
After July 10, as the system turned toward the northeast and moved into cold, high-latitude waters and the westerlies, its intensity began to decline rapidly. Pressure rose by 30 hPa within 24 hours to 970 hPa, while wind speed dropped sharply to 33 m/s. By the time it dissipated on July 12, it had weakened to tropical storm intensity, with wind speed of only 18 m/s. Compared with other typhoons of the same name or similar code numbers, Chattan reached severe typhoon intensity over the deep ocean, demonstrating strong energy accumulation. However, because its track was eastward and its turn came earlier, it had no direct wind impact on coastal areas.
