Track Track and Moving Features

2003年第18号Typhoon “Parma”的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现显著的“抛物线”型转 toward 特征, 且全程未Landfall任何陆地. formed初期 (10月18日至20日) , 系统位 at 143°E-146°E之间, 主要 toward NW direction缓慢Moving, The latitude从16.8°N提升至20.1°N. 10月21日至24日为快速NE移阶段, During迅速E扩至156.3°E, 纬度N抬至30.1°N, 标志着其受W风带引导气流影响完成转 toward . 值得注意的是, 该Typhoon 在达到最高纬度后并未直接消散, 而是 at 10月25日至27日期间出现罕见的折返现象, 路径 toward S, toward W回旋, 纬度由28.8°N降至22.2°N, 经度 toward E延伸至169.4°E后W退至164.5°E. 随后在10月28日至31日, 系统再次转 toward NE direction加速Moving, 最终 at 167°E附近 weakened into Tropical Storm并结束观测. 这种复杂的“S”形或打转路径反映了当时大气环流场的复杂性, 尤其是副热带高压与W风槽相互作用下的多变的引导气流.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

“Parma” experienced intense intensity fluctuations, showing “fast enhancement – maintenance peak – weakening – second enhancement – final decline” untypical process. Initial stage Intensity weak, before October 20 only for Nameless. From October 21 to rapid enhancement period, in only 3 days Time has developed from Nameless to Super Typhoon, Pressure gradually dropped to 916hPa (October 24) , max wind to 64m/s. Then in the far ocean areained high Intensity, minimum pressure reached 910hPa, max wind peak to 66m/s, confirmed that Super Typhoon level. After October 26th, Intensity once again fell to Severe Typhoon and Typhoon level, but on October 29th there was an unusual secondary eruption, Pressure again dropped deep

The 2003 version of the lowest air pressure is 910hPa, max wind 66m/s; and the 2009 version of the lowest air pressure is 925hPa. Although both reached the Super Typhoon level, but the 2003 'Parma' is lower at the core air pressure, showing more powerful nuclear energy. however, from at 2003 'Parma' all the time in marine activity, no Landfall record, its destructive power is mainly reflected in marine disasters, with the common Landfall coastal 2009 'Parma' in the object of impact.
