Typhoon Songda trajectory
Track and Turning Characteristics
Typhoon Songda (200419) 的生命史长达13天, 整体路径呈现典型的NW行进后转 toward NE的抛物线形态. formed初期, 系统位 at W.Pac平洋远海 (171°E) , 受副热带高压引导, 稳定 toward NW. 从8月26日至9月3日, 其纬度由10.5°N逐步N抬至22.3°N, 经度由171°EW进至135.2°E, Moving direction保持相对一致的WNWTrend.
The key turning point occurred from September 3 to September 4. At 14:00 on September 3, the typhoon was located at 22.3°N, 135.2°E. It moved to 24°N, 131.2°E on September 4, with its westward component weakening and northward component increasing. After September 5, its track clearly turned northeast, with longitude increasing eastward from 128.2°E to 146.1°E and latitude jumping northward to 48.7°N. This turn marked the system’s departure from the subtropical high’s control and entry into the westerlies, accelerating its movement toward higher latitudes. It eventually became extratropical over waters east of Japan and dissipated, with no recorded landfall.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
Songda的Intensity演变经历了快速增强, 巅峰维持及缓慢减弱三个阶段. 初始阶段为Tropical Depression, 经过约5天的持续加强, at 8月31日14时达到peak intensity, Pressure降至940hPa, max wind 达50m/s, 定性为Severe Typhoon. 值得注意的是, 该巅峰状态具有显著的持续性: 从8月31日至9月4日, Typhoon 连续5天保持在Severe Typhoon级别 (wind speed45-50m/s, 气压940-950hPa) , 显示出极强的结构稳定性. 9月5日后, 随着纬度升高和海温降低, intensity 逐渐减弱, 至9月8日消散前已降格为Tropical Storm.
Compared with other storms of the same name, the 2004 Songda reached a moderately high intensity. Its peak pressure of 940 hPa matched that of Typhoon Songda in 2016, but it was weaker than Typhoon Songda in 2011, a super typhoon with a central pressure of 910 hPa, and significantly stronger than Typhoon Songda in 2022, which remained a tropical storm with a pressure of 998 hPa. This shows that typhoon intensity varies widely under the name Songda, while the 2004 storm was a typical remote-ocean severe typhoon with a relatively long lifespan and high intensity.
