Typhoon Saomai at 2006-08-05 20:00:00 at 11.9°, lng 146.4° over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Tropical Storm.
It peaked at Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of 60 m/s (~216 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 915hPa, recorded at 2006-08-09 20:00:00.
2006-08-12 05:00:00 After, Typhoon Saomai gradually weakened and was numbered off on 2006-08-12 05:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 79 track points.
Typhoon Saomai (200608) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific洋面, 整体呈现稳定的NW toward MovingTrend. 从 formed点 (11.9°N, 146.4°E) 至巅峰时刻, 其路径保持较为平直的NW行进路线, 未出现明显的曲折或大范围摆动. 随着The latitude升高, Typhoon 逐渐接近E亚大陆coastal 区域. 在8月10日13:00达到Intensity巅峰后, 其Center位 at (26.9°N, 121.4°E) , 随后继续 toward NW direction深入, 直至Go to 内陆地区.
It is worth noting that although the data marking shows "no landfall record", from the latitude variation, Typhoon center during August 10th, 16:30 to 19:30, the length moved from 120.8°E quickly to 120.1°E, the latitudeined near 27.2°N, this trajectory closer to ChinaSEcoastal area.
The initial phase is Tropical Storm, wind speed 18m/s. During August 8 to August 10, the system experienced explosive enhancement, jumping from Typhoon level (35m/s) to Super Typhoon level (60m/s) in only about 45h, Pressure dropped from 970hPa to 915hPa. During August 10 01:00 to 13:00, its Max Windined a peak of 60m/s, minimum pressure reached 915hPa, showing extremely strong core structural stability.
In less than 7h, wind speed from 60m/s sharp to 50m/s, and in the following hours further down to 30m/s and below, Pressure rapidly recovered to over 980hPa.
Compared with the same name Typhoon, the 14th Typhoon Saomai in 2000 also reached the Super Typhoon level, but the minimum air pressure of the Saomai in 2006 is clearly recorded as 915hPa°E, max wind to 60m/s, showing an extremely high intensity level.
