Track Track and Moving Features

In 2002, the 18th Typhoon “Hagupit” life history at Northwest Pacific ocean, the overall path shows a stable WN go toward . From September 8th, 18th, formed to September 13th, 00:00 dispersed, the system within about 4.5 days of time, the latitude from 19.7°N slowly raised to 22.9°N, the length then from 121.3°EW drastically shifted to 108.6°E, across the S Sea N area waters. Observational data show that its Moving direction has obvious phased characteristics: in the early months of September 8th to 9th, the main toward W is right, the latitude is essentiallyined between 19.5°N-19.7°N; Go to September 10th, the path gradually turns to NW direction, the latitude begins to increase

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

In terms of Intensity changes, “Hagupit” underwent a typical “formed-enhanced-top-weakened” process. The initial stage is Nameless, Pressureins at about 1006hPa. From September 10, as the system toward W deep, the air pressure continues to decline, wind speed gradually increases. From September 11, 06 to 12, the system reaches the peak intensity in the history of life, confirmed that the Tropical Storm level, minimum central pressure drops to 991hPa, max wind reaches 23m/s. However, the peak stateins Time shorter, only about 6h, Since September 11, 18, Pressure rapidly rises to 1002hPa, wind speed steps drop to 12m/s, re-grade to Nameless, and then keep the weakened trend until disappear.

Its peak intensity is only Tropical Storm, minimum pressure is 991hPa. In comparison, the same name Typhoon in 2008, 2014 and 2020 respectively reached Severe Typhoon, Super Typhoon and Typhoon levels, minimum pressure is 935hPa, 910hPa and 965hPa respectively.
