Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Washi (200508) 的生命史始 at 2005年7月29日08时, 终 at 8月1日02时, 整体生命周期较短. 从空间轨迹来看, 该Typhoon formed at S海N部海域 (19°N, 112.7°E) , 初始阶段呈现 toward SW的态势, 至7月29日12时到达最S端Position (18°N, 112°E) . 随后, 系统发生显著的路径转折, 由SW转 toward W, 并逐渐调整为WNW路径.

Thro the Moving process, the Typhoon center latitude changes relatively smoothly, mainlyined between 18°N to 20.4°N, while the length is continuously extended from 112.7°E toward W to 103.3°E, spanning about 9.4 degrees. this latitude is mainly toward Moving, with the toward positioning smaller characteristics, indicating that it is mainly driven by the sub-tropical high-pressure S-side E air flow, stable toward W through the W-part of the waters of the Vietnam Sea.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

在Intensity变化方面, Washi呈现出“快速增强—维持巅峰—缓慢减弱”的特征. formed初期为Tropical Storm级别 (18m/s, 992hPa) , 在 toward WMoving过程中迅速加强. 7月30日04时, Pressure降至986hPa, wind speed增至23m/s; 至7月30日16时, 达到生命史中的peak intensity, minimum pressure 为984hPa, max wind 25m/s, 等级评定为Severe Tropical Storm. 此后直至7月31日12时, Typhoon Pressure一直维持在984hPa的低位, wind speed稳定在23m/s, 显示出较强的结构稳定性. 8月1日凌晨, 随着系统进一步W移, intensity 开始减弱, 气压回升至990hPa, wind speed降为20m/s.

Compared with the same name Typhoon, the 21st Typhoon “Washi” peak intensity of 2011 is the same as the Severe Tropical Storm, but its lowest air pressure is 992hPa. Compared, the 2005 WashiPressure is lower (984hPa vs. 992hPa), meaning its core is stronger, the air pressure escalation is greater, and the overall intensity is slightly higher at the same name as the 2011 Typhoon.
