Typhoon Lekima Trail Characteristics

Path and Moving Characteristics

In 2007, the life history of the 15th Typhoon “Lekima” at the S Sea Central waters, the overall presentation of the trajectory from SE toward NW direction stable Moving. From the initial formed point (15.9°N, 116.4°E) to the dispersal point (18°N, 101.8°E) , the system across the length of about 14.6 degrees, latitude N rising about 2.1 degrees, indicating its dominant guiding flow as a stable E or SE airflow. During the Moving, the path did not appear a noticeable twist toward or stagnation, but kept a relatively flat WNW go toward , crossing the Vietnam Sea and Go to the Gulf of Thailand near the sea. It is worth noting that the Typhoon full length landfall record, is always active at sea

Intensity Analysis

“Lekima”的Intensity演变经历了“快速增强—巅峰维持—波动减弱”的过程. 系统初生时为Nameless (15m/s, 998hPa) , 在约30h内迅速 intensified into Severe Tropical Storm, 并 at 10月2日16:00达到peak intensity, 此时中心最低气压降至975hPa, max wind 达33m/s, 定级为Typhoon . 在巅峰状态附近, 气压和wind speed表现出一定的波动性: 10月3日曾短暂 weakened into Severe Tropical Storm (980hPa) , 随后在17:00再次回升至Typhoon 级别 (975hPa) , 这种Intensity的反复震荡可能与海温分布或垂直风切变的短期变化有关. 10月4日起, 随着系统进一步 toward W深入, intensity 开始显著衰减, wind speed降至18m/s以下, 最终 at 10月4日17:00 weakened into Nameless并结束监测. 整个生命史中, 核心Intensity维持Time较短, 爆发力相对有限.
