Moving and turning toward characteristics

2008年第2号Typhoon “Rammasun”的生命史持续约5天, 整体路径呈现显著的NW toward Moving后转为NE toward 移出的特征. formed初期 (5月8日) , 系统位 at Philippines以E洋面 (130.6°E附近) , 主要沿经线 direction toward N缓慢Moving, The latitude从8.2°N提升至12.8°N期间, During变化极小, 维持在131.3°E至132.3°E之间, 显示出受副热带高压S侧引导气流控制的典型N toward 路径.

From May 10 to 11, after the Typhoon centerined a brief non-stable or microscopic oscillation near 132°E, began to show a noticeable turn toward Trend. From May 11 to 20:00, the center length moved from 132.7°E rapidly to 139.8°E, the latitude simultaneously from 22°NN to 30.3°N. This phase of path curvature increased, marking the system completely Go to W wind band, accelerated by SW air flow guided toward NE, and eventually dispersed in Japan by E sea area weakened.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

The Typhoon underwent three phases of rapid improvement, peak maintenance and rapid weakening. Initial Intensity for Tropical Storm (18m/s) , Within 48h of May 8 to 10, Pressure dropped sharply from 996hPa to 950hPa, max wind jumped to 45m/s, completed the crossing from Tropical Storm to Severe Typhoon. May 11 02:00 to 14:00, the system reached peak, minimum pressure dropped to 945hPa, max wind stabilized at 45m/s, andined Severe Typhoon grade for more than 36h, showing core structure stability.

Within 24h, max wind dropped from 45m/s to 25m/s, Pressure returned to 980hPa, and declined to Severe Tropical Storm.

Its peak low air pressure (945hPa) is high at 2002 Rammasun (933hPa) and 2014 Rammasun (910hPa), and the latter reaches the Super Typhoon level.
