Track Track and Moving Features

2004年第13号Typhoon “Meranti”的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现稳定的NE toward MovingTrend. 从8月4日20时的初始Position (23.6°N, 165.1°E) 至8月8日20时消散前的末位 (37.6°N, 172°E) , 该Typhoon 在约4天的Time内 toward N推进了约14个The latitude, toward E跨越了约7个During.

The observation data showed that its Moving direction did not show significant twist or rotation, but kept a relatively consistent NNE toward . In the formed early August 4th to 5th morning , the system Moving speed was relatively slow, then with the intensification of the Intensity, the velocity was accelerated. Thro the life cycle, the system remained at the open ocean surface, without any Landfall record, belonging to the typical ocean turn toward or direct typhoon track. by at not close to the land, its path is mainly influenced by sub-tropical high-pressure border and wind belt guided gas flow, eventually in the high latitude sea area gradually weakened and turned into a temperature band or dispersed.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

在Intensity变化方面, “Meranti”经历了快速增强, 巅峰维持及逐渐减弱三个阶段. 系统 at 8月4日20时以Tropical Storm级别 (18m/s, 998hPa) formed, 随后在24h内迅速加强. 至8月5日20时, Pressure降至980hPa, wind speed增至30m/s, 升级为Severe Tropical Storm; 仅6h后 (8月6日02时) , Pressure进一步降至最低值970hPa, max wind 达到35m/s, 正式达到Typhoon 级别.

It is worth noting that after the typhoon reached peak intensity, itined a stable state of approximately 18h (August 6 02 to 20h), while the air pressure remained at 970hPa, wind speedined at 35m/s. Since August 7 02h, with the latitude rising to 31.1°N by N, the system began to weaken, air pressure recovered, wind speed declined, and at August 8 14th declined to Tropical Storm.

In 2004 Meranti's Intensity was significantly weak compared to the same name Typehoon at 14th Typehoon Meranti (top Super Typhoon, minimum pressure 900hPa) in 2016, and slightly stronger at 10th Typehoon Meranti (minimum atmospheric pressure 975hPa) in 2010.
