Typhoon Kammuri, international code 200212, international name KAMMURI, 2002 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 2002-08-02 00:00:00, ended: 2002-08-05 18:00:00. Peak intensity: Severe Tropical Storm, minimum central pressure: 987 hPa, max wind: 25m/s.

Overview of Typhoon Kammuri

Typhoon Kammuri at 2002-08-02 00:00:00 at 18.8°N, 119.1°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 2002-08-04 18:00:00.

2002-08-05 18:00:00 After, Typhoon Kammuri gradually weakened and was numbered off on 2002-08-05 18:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 16 track points.

Characteristics of Typhoon Kammuri

Track Track and Moving Features

In 2002, the 12th Typhoon 'Kammuri''s life history was short, from formed to dispersed for about 3 and a half days. Its route overall presented a stable NW toward MovingTrend, then turned to N direction. The initial phase (August 2, 00 to August 3, 12) , the system position at S Sea NE area, the center coordinates from (18.8°N, 119.1°E) slow Moving to (21°N, 115.7°E), Moving direction mainly WNW, relatively sluggish. During this period, the latitude increased by about 2.2 degrees, the length decreased by about 3.4 degrees, showing the typical characteristics of sub-tropical high-pressure guided gas flow.

While the latitude continued to rise to N, the length variation was significantly reduced, and even a weak E deflation (from 115.2°E to 115.3°E) occurred at 6 to 12 a.m. on August 4, indicating a change in the internal structure of the guiding airflow or a system adjustment. After reaching the most N-end deflation nearby on August 4, 18th, the path markedly turned to positive N, until August 5, 18th dispersed at (25.9°N, 115.6°E). Thro the process, the system did not landfall any land and was always active at sea.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

“Kammuri”的Intensity演变经历了“缓慢增强—巅峰维持—迅速减弱”的过程. 初始为Nameless (12m/s) , 经过约36h的缓慢整合, at 8月3日18时升级为Tropical Storm (20m/s) . 随后Intensity持续攀升, at 8月4日18时达到巅峰状态, 定性为Severe Tropical Storm, 中心最低气压降至987hPa, max wind 达25m/s. 巅峰状态维持了约6h, 随后在8月5日06时突然降级为Nameless (15m/s) , 并在后续12h内进一步减弱至10m/s, 气压回升至1004hPa, 显示其在较高The latitude遭遇不利环境因素导致快速消亡.

In comparison to the same name History, the 2002 'Kammuri' Intensity is significantly weaker. in 2019, the 28th 'Kammuri' has developed into a Super Typhoon, with a minimum pressure of up to 930hPa; even the same name Typhoon in 2008 and 2014 has a minimum air pressure of 978hPa and 985hPa respectively. in 2002, the 'Kammuri''s 987hPa minimum air pressure is at a weaker level in the former same name Typhoon, and a short history of life, no landfall record, belongs at a relatively limited range of marine Typehoon process.
