Track Track and Turn toward characteristics

Typhoon Rusa (200215) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“抛物线”型Moving特征. formed初期 (8月22日) , 系统位 at 164°E附近, 主要 toward NW direction稳定Moving. 随着The latitude逐渐N抬, 其During持续W进, 至8月26日达到最W端Position (约144.4°E) . 此后, 受中高纬度W风带引导气流影响, typhoon track发生显著转折. 从8月27日起, Moving direction由NW转为NE, 加速 toward Japan以S海域及朝鲜半岛E部海域逼近. 整个过程中, Typhoon 未直接Landfall任何陆地, 始终在海上完成从 formed到消散的全过程. 路径采样点显示, 其在低纬度地区Moving相对缓慢, 而在高纬度转 toward 后, 纬度跨度从23.9°N迅速拉升至38.8°N, 显示出后期移速加快的动力学特征.

Evolution of intensity and peak state

Rusa's Intensity evolution experienced rapid enhancement, peak maintenance and gradually weakening three phases. The initial phase was Nameless, Pressure1004hPa. In the four days of August 22 to 26, the system experienced explosive enhancement, Pressure dropped 77hPa to 927hPa, max wind climbed to 59m/s, reached Super Typhoon level. It is worth noting that during August 26 12:00 to 27 06:00, despite Position occurring Moving, but its minimum air pressure remained at 927hPa unchanged, showing peak intensity stability. After August 28th, with NGo to higher latitudes, influenced by major factors such as sea temperature decrease and vertical wind intersection, intensity began to weaken steadily. The air pressure gradually rose back to 997hPa
