Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Melor (200319) 的生命周期始 at 2003年10月28日18时, 终 at 11月4日00时, 全程未Landfall任何陆地. 从空间轨迹来看, 该Typhoon 整体呈现稳定的NW toward MovingTrend, 随后转 toward NE direction消散. 初始阶段 (10月28日至30日) , 系统位 at Philippines以E洋面, 坐标从(11.4°N, 133.1°E)缓慢W移至(14°N, 126.9°E), Moving速度相对平缓. Go to 10月31日后, 随着Intensity提升, 其 toward N分量显著增加, 路径逐渐由W转为NW direction, 直至11月1日06时到达最W端附近(17.6°N, 121.8°E). 此后, 受引导气流影响, typhoon track发生明显转折, 开始 toward NE, 最终在(23.6°N, 123.5°E)附近 weakened into Nameless并结束观测. 整个路径平滑, 无剧烈打转或停滞现象, 体现了典型的中The latitudeW风带影响下的转 toward 特征.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

In terms of Intensity changes, Melor underwent a complete 'formed-enhanced-top-weakened' process. Initially as Namelessined about 48h, air pressure remained in the range of 1002-1006hPa. From October 31 at 06:00, the system rapidly strengthened, within 12h by Severe Tropical Storm upgraded to Typhoon , Pressure dropped to 976hPa, max wind to 33m/s. On November 1 at 06:00 reached peak, minimum pressure to 967hPa, max wind 38m/s. Peak period lasted Time is shorter, only afterining about 12h began to weaken. From November 2, the system declined to Severe Tropical Storm, and continued to weaken, until the end of life wind speed dropped to 17m/s, air pressure returned to 99

Data show that 2009 Melor (200918) and 2015 Melor (201527) both reached Super Typhoon level, minimum pressure lower to 905hPa and 935hPa respectively. compared, 2003 Melor was only ordinary Typhoon grade, peak air pressure higher than the former 32-62hPa, max wind is also much lower at the subsequent two types of Typhoon level of destruction, belonging to the weaker generation 'Melor'.
