Typhoon Phanfone Trail Characteristics

Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Phanfone (2002年第13号) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“NW—N—NE”抛物线型Moving特征. formed初期 (8月10日至12日) , 系统位 at 低The latitude洋面, 受副热带高压S侧引导气流影响, 稳定 toward NW, 纬度从9.1°N迅速N抬至12°N, During由162.7°EW进至157.5°E. 8月13日至15日期间, 随着系统Intensity急剧增强, 其Moving速度加快, 路径维持NW toward , 直至8月15日12时到达22.9°N, 144.6°E附近.

From 16 to 17 August, the Typhoon center continued to N and gradually turned toward NE, with the length shifted from 141°E to 137.1°E, indicating that it had broken the side-high-spin or been drawn by the W-belt pre-airflow. After 18 August, the system fully Go to NE toward Moving channel, accelerated toward High-latitude sea zone shift, and finally at 20 August at 12 at 38,2°N, 152.5°E weakened into Nameless and ended observations.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Phanfone's Intensity evolution experienced rapid enhancement, peak maintenance and slow weakening in three phases. Initial phase was Nameless, upgraded to Tropical Storm on 11 August, and reached Typhoon level on 13 August. Most notable was the explosive enhancement process from 14 to 15 August: Pressure dropped from 967hPa to 910hPa in 36h, max wind increased from 38m/s to 66m/s, and at 15 August at 12 established Super Typhoon status.

After August 17, as the latitude rose to 30°N by N, the sea temperature decreased and the vertical wind shift grew, the system began to weaken. from Super Typhoon to Severe Typhoon took only about 18h, then continued to decline, until dispersal had returned to NamelessIntensity.

In comparison to the same name History, 2002 Phanfone's Intensity has overwhelming advantages. 2019 Phanfone peaked only Severe Typhoon (955hPa) , 2014 Phanfone equal Severe Typhoon (935hPa) , and 2008 Phanfone only reached Tropical Storm level (998hPa) . 2002 Phanfone is not only the only Super Typhoon of these four, its lowest air pressure is also stronger than the 2014 version is 31hPa lower, reflecting the extreme activity of the year Northwest Pacific Typhoon.
