Typhoon Rananim Trail Characteristics

Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Rananim (200414)'s life begins at the Northwest Pacific Ocean, the overall path presents a stable NW toward MovingTrend. From August 8 at 02:00 at (16.1°N, 130°E) formed until August 13 dispersed, the system alwaysins NW direction marching, with no apparent path twist toward or stagnation phenomenon.

Observing the sequence of coordinates is known, the system significantly accelerated the Moving speed during August 11-12, with the latitude rapidly jumping from 23.2°N to 27.8°N, the length shifted from 126.3°EW to 122.1°E, showing a greater rapid Moving characteristic affected by guided airflow. It is noteworthy that although the data marked 'no land record', but the route endpoint deep into the inland, August 13-17:00 after Center position at (28.9°N, 117.1°E) and (28.8°N, 116.3°E), indicating that the system continued toward W deep inside the mainland after weakened into Nameless, eventually at Jiang, Fujian border area dispersed.

Evolution of intensity and peak state

Rananim的Intensity演变经历了典型的“增强-巅峰-衰减”过程. formed初期为Tropical Storm级别, 气压996hPa. 8月10日至11日, 系统Go to 快速增强期, wind speed从25m/s攀升至40m/s, Pressure降至955hPa. 8月12日08:00至17:00, Typhoon 达到生命史中的巅峰状态, 维持Severe Typhoon等级, max wind 达45m/s, minimum central pressure 为950hPa. 这一高Intensity状态维持了约9h, 期间Center从(26.4°N, 123.7°E)Moving至(27.8°N, 122.1°E), 显示其在E海海面获得了充分的能量支持.

However, after the peak, the intensity dropped sharply. on August 13, 02:00, less than 12h from the peak, the wind speed has dropped to 30m/s, the air pressure has returned to 975hPa, declined to Severe Tropical Storm. Then in 11h further weakened into Tropical Storm and Nameless, the wind speed dropped to 16m/s, and the air pressure has returned to about 995hPa. This rapid decline process is usually associated with the system's migration to the land, increased friction and water vapor transportation cuts. Compared to at other same name Typhoon, 2004 Rananimpeak intensity reached the Severe Typhoon standard, has a stronger destruction potential, but its life history is relatively short, from formed to dispersed only about 6 days.
