Typhoon Sonamu, international code 200611, international name SONAMU, 2006 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 2006-08-14 08:00:00, ended: 2006-08-16 02:00:00. Peak intensity: Tropical Storm, minimum central pressure: 995 hPa, max wind: 20m/s.
Overview of Typhoon Sonamu
Typhoon Sonamu at 2006-08-14 08:00:00 at 18.1°N, 129.9°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Tropical Storm.
It peaked at Tropical Storm intensity with max winds of 20 m/s (~72 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 995hPa, recorded at 2006-08-14 08:00:00.
2006-08-16 02:00:00 After, Typhoon Sonamu gradually weakened and was numbered off on 2006-08-16 02:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 8 track points.
Typhoon Sonamu Trail Characteristics
Track and Movement Characteristics
According to the observation data, the Typhoon overall presented a stable NW toward MovingTrend, then gradually shifted toward N direction. In the initial phase (August 14, 08:00-20:00) , the Typhoon center position at lat 18.1° to 19.5°N, between 129.9° to 132.2°, Moving direction is mainly WNW, latitude increases about 0.7° every 6h, length increases about 1.1° to 1.3°, showing a relatively uniform shift rate.
From 15 02:00 to 15 14:00, the latitude rapidly climbed from 20.2°N to 22.3°N, the length range also expanded to 137.2°E, indicating that the guiding air flow may change, pushing Typhoon to accelerate toward NE direction deviation. Especially during 15 02:00 to 16 02:00, the latitude in the short Time from 23.9°N jumped to 26.4°N, increased to 2.5°, while the length changes relatively slowed, this marks the typhoon track a significant turn toward, from the NW line to near the right N line, and eventually weakened in the high latitude sea area.
Intensity Evolution & Historical Comparison
During the vast majority of the time it exists (August 14, 08:00 to 15:14), Pressureins at 995hPa, max wind remains at 20m/s, always at Tropical Storm level, no noticeable strengthening or weakening fluctuation. until August 15, 20:00, as the latitude rises and environmental field changes, Pressure slightly rises to 998hPa, max wind drops to 18m/s, marking its Go to weakening dispersion phase. peak intensity is only Tropical Storm, minimum pressure 995hPa, max wind 20m/s, belongs to a weaker thermal cyclone system.
Compared with previously the same name typhoon, the 2006 'Sonamu' Intensity is significantly weaker. 2000 No. 17 typhoon 'Sonamu' has reached the typhoon level, the minimum pressure is low to 980hPa, the intensity is far more than this year; even the 2013 No. 1 typhoon 'Sonamu', its minimum air pressure is also reached 992hPa, slightly strong at 2006 this example.
