Typhoon Etau Route Characteristics

Track Track and Turn toward characteristics

Typhoon Etau (200310) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“NW行进—近海转 toward —NE消散”的抛物线形态. formed初期 (7月31日至8月2日) , 系统在低The latitude海域 (8.6°N-10.9°N) 缓慢 toward WMoving, During从150.1°EW退至141.5°E, 显示受副热带高压S侧引导气流影响显著. 8月3日后, 路径逐渐转为NW direction, 纬度快速N抬, at 8月6日到达22.9°N附近.

The key turn toward point appeared before August 7th. Data showed that August 7th at 00:00 system position at 26.5°N, 128.2°E, followed by the length toward E rebound (128.2°E -> 130.8°E -> 134°E) , indicating that the system was drawn at mid-high latitudes by the pre-W wind belt, completed by the turn of the path of NW toward NE. Thro the process, the Typhoon failed to landfall any land, remained active at sea, and finally at August 10th at the 43.6°N high latitude sea area weakened into Nameless and ended life history.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Starting from the initial Nameless (7m/s), the system rapidly enhanced to Severe Tropical Storm on August 4, and at the next day upgraded to Typhoon . Its explosive enhancement period concentrated from August 5 to August 7, Pressure gradually dropped from 958hPa to 933hPa, and max wind jumped from 43m/s to 56m/s, to the Super Typhoon level.

Etau's peak intensity in 2009 (200909) and Etau's peak intensity in 2015 (201518) were only Severe Tropical Storm and Tropical Storm, respectively, with a minimum pressure of 990hPa. In comparison, Etau's minimum air pressure in 2003 was 57hPa lower and max wind higher at least 33m/s (compared with 2015 data estimates) .
