Typhoon Chanchu, international code 200601, international name CHANCHU, 2006年Northwest PacificTyphoon . formedTime: 2006-05-09 20:00:00, 结束Time: 2006-05-18 17:00:00. peak intensity: Severe Typhoon, 最低Pressure: 945 hPa, max wind : 45m/s.

Overview of Typhoon Chanchu

Typhoon Chanchu at 2006-05-09 20:00:00 at 8.3°, lng 132.1° over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Tropical Storm.

It peaked at Severe Typhoon intensity with max winds of 45 m/s (~162 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 945hPa, recorded at 2006-05-15 02:00:00.

2006-05-18 17:00:00 After, Typhoon Chanchu gradually weakened and was numbered off on 2006-05-18 17:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 85 track points.

Characteristics of Typhoon Chanchu

Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Chanchu (200601)'s life begins at Northwest Pacific ocean surface, the overall path presents a significant NW toward MovingTrend, without landfall. From the initial formed point (8.3°N, 132.1°E) to May 13 Go to S ocean (13.6°N, 120.4°E) , Typhoon subjects maintain a stable WNW, a length span of more than 10 degrees, showing its influence by the sub-tropical high-pressure S-side guided airflow is significant.

During the period from May 15 to May 17, the center length of the Typhoon oscillated slightly between 115°E to 116.7°E, with the latitude rising from 14°N rapidly to 22.4°N. This phase path is close to N, indicating that the guiding flow from E to S, or enhanced by the pre-W windship traction. After May 17, the path reverted to NE direction, eventually at May 18 at 17.17 at 26.8°N, 119.6°E weakened into Nameless and ended observation. During the entire life cycle, Typhoon in the SeaSN underwent a brief “stagnation” process, followed by acceleration away from the mainland coastal.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

The Typhoon Intensity changes drastically, undergoing a full 'enhancing-maintaining-weakening' cycle.The initial phase is Tropical Storm (18m/s) , then rapidly strengthened. May 11 reaches Severe Tropical Storm level (30m/s) , May 13 upgrades to Typhoon . May 15th morning, Pressure drops to 950hPa, wind speed to 45m/s, establishing Severe Typhoon status. It is worth noting that from May 16 at 05:00 to May 17th 13th, Typhoonins peak intensity, Pressure stable at the minimum value of 945hPaE, max windins 45m/s, showing extremely strong structural stability.

Starting at 20 a.m. on May 17, as the latitude N increased and the environmental field changed, the Typhoon began to weaken rapidly. in less than 24 hours, the wind speed dropped from 45m/s to 16m/s, and the air pressure rose back to 998hPa, completing the decline process from Severe Typhoon to Nameless.

In comparison with the same name History, the intensity of Chanchu in 2006 far surpassed the 7th Typehoon “Chanchu” in 2000. the top of the Typehoon in 2000 was only Tropical Storm, with a minimum pressure of 996 hPa; and the peak of Chanchu in 2006 reached the Severe Typhoon level, with a minimum pressure of 945 hPa, with a huge difference in intensity, indicating that the system in 2006 had a deeper corrosion core and more favorable thermal conditions.
