Typhoon Sudal, international code 200401, international name SUDAL, 2004 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 2004-04-08 08:00:00, ended: 2004-04-16 14:00:00. Peak intensity: Severe Typhoon, minimum central pressure: 940 hPa, max wind: 50m/s.

Overview of Typhoon Sudal

Typhoon Sudal at 2004-04-08 08:00:00 at 9.1°N, 140.6°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Typhoon .

It peaked at Severe Typhoon intensity with max winds of 50 m/s (~180 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 940hPa, recorded at 2004-04-09 20:00:00.

2004-04-16 14:00:00 After, Typhoon Sudal gradually weakened and was numbered off on 2004-04-16 14:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 32 track points.

Typhoon Sudal Trail Characteristics

Track Track and Turn toward characteristics

Typhoon Sudal (200401) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific低The latitude海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“抛物线”型Moving特征. formed初期 (4月8日至10日) , 系统位 at lat 9°至11°之间, 受副热带高压S侧E气流引导, 稳定 toward WN. 在此期间, During从140.6°E快速W移至135.2°E, 横 toward 跨度显著.

The data showed that on April 12, 08:00 to 20:00, the Typhoon center length remained unchanged at 131°E, the latitude from 15.5°N to 16.1°N, indicating that at this time the system Moving speed slowed and Go to stagnant stage, then began to gradually turn toward NE direction. From April 13, the path clearly turned to NE toward, the length reverted toward E, and by April 16, when the dispersal had reached 150.7°E. Thro the process, the Typhoon did not landfall any land, remained in ocean activity, eventually weakened in the high latitude ocean.

Intensity evolution and peak maintenance

Sudal’s Intensity change underwent three stages of “fast enhancement – peak maintenance – slow weakening”.Starting from Typhoon level (35m/s, 970hPa) on April 8, the system rapidly intensified into Severe Typhoon within 24h, and at April 9 at 20:00 reached peak intensity, max wind 50m/s, minimum pressure 940hPa.

It is worth noting is the persistence of its peak state. From April 9 20:00 to April 14 08:00, for 5 days, Sudal alwaysined at Severe Typhoon level, wind speedined at the range of 45-50m/s, air pressure stable at 940-950hPa. This long Time high Intensityined in the early W Pacific Typhoon is relatively rare. After April 14 20:00, with latitude rising to 22.2°N above, the system began to weaken, wind speed dropped to 40m/s below, air pressure rebounded. By April 16 14:00, intensity dropped to Tropical Storm (20m/s, 990hPa) , life history ended. Compared to other at the same name or the same period Typhoon, Sudal in April was to reach the Severe Typhoon level and
