Path and Moving Characteristics

Typhoon Kirogi (200520) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现显著的“W进—停滞—NE转 toward ”的三段式特征. formed初期 (10月10日至12日) , 系统自E toward WMoving, The latitude从22.6°N缓慢S压至20.5°N, During由134°EW移至132.7°E, 显示出受低层引导气流影响 toward W推进的Trend. 10月12日至15日期间, Typhoon Go to 相对停滞阶段, Center在20.9°N-23.7°N, 131.1°E-132.1°E的小范围内徘徊, Moving速度显著减缓, 这一阶段为其Intensity的维持和巅峰状态的保持提供了有利的环境条件.

Starting on October 16, the path had a noticeable turning point. the system began toward NE direction to accelerate Moving, the latitude rapidly increased to N, the length expanded again to E. By October 19, before the dispersal, the center had moved to 32.8°N, near 142°E. Thro the life cycle, the Typhoon had not landfall any land, and had always been active at sea, eventually debilitating in high latitudes.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Kirogi's Intensity evolution has the characteristics of 'fast enhancement, long maintenance, slow weakening'. Initially called Tropical Storm (18m/s) , rapidly strengthened in the toward WMoving process, with only about 36h reached the Severe Typhoon level (50m/s, 945hPa) at 12 October 02 . Then, its peak state was unusually persistent, from 12 October to 16 October for 5 days, max wind stabilityined at 50m/s, minimum pressureined at 940hPa, showing extremely strong structural stability.

It peaked at Severe Typhoon level (940hPa), far beyond Kirogi (Severe Tropical Storm, 980hPa) in 2023, Kirogi (Tropical Storm, 998hPa) in 2017 and Kirogi (Tropical Storm, 998hPa) in 2012.
