Typhoon Roke Trail Characteristics

Track Track and Moving Features

According to the observation data, its overall Moving path presents the characteristics of a significant WN turn toward NW. The initial phase (March 16 08 to 14) , the system position at Philippines at E surface (11.7°N, 131.1°E) , rapid toward WMoving and slightly N rises. During March 16 14 to 20 hours, the Typhoon center latitude appeared slightly S falling (from 11.8°N to 11.5°N) , then at March 17 02 at E surface at the highest SPosition10.9°N, here can be seen as the pathway’s potential turn toward preliminary point.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

在Intensity方面, “Roke”表现出“快速增强, 短暂维持, 逐渐减弱”的典型短寿命Typhoon 特征. 系统在 formed后6h内迅速由Tropical Storm (23m/s) intensified into Severe Tropical Storm (30m/s) , 并 at 3月16日14时达到peak intensity, 此时中心最低气压为980hPa, max wind 30m/s. 巅峰状态维持约6h后, 自3月17日02时起开始减弱, wind speed降至25m/s, 气压回升至985hPa. 随后Intensity继续缓慢衰减, 至生命末期 (3月18日08时) 已 weakened into Tropical Storm, wind speed降至18m/s, 气压升至998hPa.

Its peak intensity is only Severe Tropical Storm, minimum pressure 980hPa. In comparison, the 2011 'Roke' peak to Typhoon level (950hPa) , 2022 'Roke' is more to Severe Typhoon level (955hPa) . Even the weaker 2017 'Roke', its peak is only Tropical Storm (995hPa) , but the 2005 version peak intensity is still high at 2017 version, but much lower at 2011 and 2022 Severe Typhoon level.
