Track Characteristics and Moving Trends

2003年第9号Typhoon “Morakot”的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific洋面, 整体路径呈现稳定的NW toward Moving特征. 从 formed初期的7月30日18时 (11.8°N, 130.4°E) 至8月5日00时消散 (25.5°N, 117.4°E) , 该系统在约5.25天的Time内, The latitude toward N推进约13.7度, During toward W跨越约13度. 观测数据显示, 其Moving direction始终保持在NW象限, 未出现明显的转 toward 或停滞现象. track points分布均匀, 表明引导气流相对稳定. 值得注意的是, 该Typhoon 全程无Landfall记录, 最终在Taiwan海峡N部及Fujiancoastal 以E海域减弱消散, 其轨迹主要覆盖Philippines以E洋面至ChinaSEcoastal 外侧海域.

Intensity Evolution and Life Cycle

“Morakot”的Intensity变化经历了缓慢增强, 快速爆发及迅速衰减三个阶段. formed初期至8月1日12时, 系统维持Nameless等级, Pressure保持在1004hPa至1000hPa之间, wind speed由10m/s缓慢增至15m/s. 8月1日18时起, Go to 快速增强期, 气压在36h内从997hPa骤降至976hPa, wind speed由17m/s跃升至33m/s, 并 at 8月3日06时达到peak intensity, 定性为Typhoon 级. 巅峰状态维持Time较短, 仅约6h后, 自8月3日18时起开始减弱, 降为Severe Tropical Storm. 随后Intensity持续下滑, 至8月4日18时已退化为Nameless, wind speed降至17m/s, 气压回升至997hPa, 直至最终消散. 整个过程显示出“快增快减”的非对称演变特征.

Comparison of historical names

Comparing the 2003 “Morakot” with the 2009 No. 8 of the same name Typhoon, the two have significant differences in intensity. in 2003 “Morakot” peak lowest air pressure is 976hPa, max wind 33m/s; and in 2009 “Morakot” peak lowest air pressure is 955hPa, intensity is significantly stronger.
