Overview of Typhoon Linfa

Typhoon Linfa at 2003-05-24 06:00:00 at 15.5°N, 118.7°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.

It peaked at Severe Tropical Storm intensity with max winds of 28 m/s (~101 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 984hPa, recorded at 2003-05-26 18:00:00.

2003-05-30 18:00:00 After, Typhoon Linfa gradually weakened and was numbered off on 2003-05-30 18:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 27 track points.

Characteristics of Typhoon Linfa

Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Linfa (200304) 的生命周期始 at 2003年5月24日06时, 终 at 5月30日18时, 全程未Landfall陆地. 从路径坐标序列分析, 该Typhoon 整体呈现“先W行停滞, 后转 toward NE”的复杂Moving轨迹. formed初期 (5月24日至25日) , 系统在Philippines以E洋面 (约118°E附近) 缓慢 toward WMoving, The latitude维持在15.5°N至16.5°N之间. 值得注意的是, 5月25日18时至27日06时期间, Typhoon 中心纬度基本稳定在16.1°N附近, During从118.1°E微移至120.8°E, 显示出明显的滞留少动特征, 这一阶段持续约36h, 为Intensity的快速变化提供了Time窗口.

The system began toward NE direction accelerating Moving, the latitude rapidly climbing from 16.3°N to 32°N, the length shifted from 122.9°EE to 132°E. This wide-angle turn toward is usually adjusted by the sub-tropical high-pressure form or W windshield guided airflow, making Typhoon eventually go to the higher latitude Northwest Pacific waters and gradually weaken the dispersion.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

在Intensity演变方面, Linfa表现出“快速增强—短暂维持—减弱—二次加强”的非典型特征. 初始阶段为Nameless (10m/s, 1004hPa) , 在滞留期间迅速增强, at 5月26日18时达到首个巅峰, intensity 为Severe Tropical Storm (28m/s, 984hPa) . 随后在 toward EMoving过程中, 受环境因素影响, intensity 波动下降, 5月27日18时退化为Nameless (17m/s, 997hPa) . 然而, 在转 toward NE后的N上途中, 系统 at 5月29日18时再次加强至Severe Tropical Storm级别 (28m/s, 984hPa) , 并维持该Intensity直至生命末期, minimum pressure 始终保持在984hPa.

Linfa peak intensity (Severe Tropical Storm, 984hPa) high at 2020 Linfa (Tropical Storm, 995hPa) , but weak at 2015 Linfa (Typhoon, 970hPa) and 2009 Linfa (Severe Tropical Storm, 980hPa) . Although its peak wind speed is equal to 2009 and its multiple peak, but 2003 Linfa air pressure is slightly higher, indicating its core structural density is slightly lower at 2009 similar system.
