Track Track and Moving Features

2008年第7号Typhoon “Kalmaegi”的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific洋面, 整体路径呈现典型的“NW行—转 toward NE”的抛物线形态. formed初期 (7月15日至16日) , 系统位 at 123.5°E附近, 主要 toward N direction缓慢Moving, The latitude从18.5°N升至18.8°N, During基本保持不变. 随后, 受引导气流影响, 路径逐渐转为NW direction, at 7月17日08:00前后穿越Taiwan海峡N部海域, 坐标由(22.5°N, 122.9°E)移至(24.4°N, 121.7°E).

值得注意的是, 该Typhoon 在7月19日09:00左右 at (28.2°N, 120.1°E)附近出现明显的路径转折. 此前系统持续 toward NW推进, 此后则显著转 toward NE direction加速Moving, 最终 at 7月21日02:00在(39.1°N, 127.1°E) weakened into Nameless并结束监测. 整个过程中, Typhoon 未Landfall任何陆地, 全程在海上活动, track pointstotal 计92个, 轨迹平滑且连续.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

The system started from Nameless (16m/s), intensified into Typhoon level within approximately 30h. July 17 at 22:00 reached the peak of life, the center lowest air pressure dropped to 970hPa, max wind to 35m/s. However, the peak stateined a shorter Time, after only about 7h, with the latitude rising and Go to High Breadth, the system began to rapidly weaken. July 18 at 05:00 was downgraded to Severe Tropical Storm, until July 23:00 further weakened into Tropical Storm, wind speed dropped to 18m/s.

Its peak air pressure (970hPa) is weak at 2014 (960hPa), 2019 (965hPa) and 2025 (930hPa, Super Typhoon), but significantly strong at 2002 only to reach NamelessIntensity (1000hPa) 'Kalmaegi'.This suggests that although the system in 2008 has a complete Typhoon structure and reaches the standard Typhoon Intensity, in the sequence of the same name, its destruction potential and core Intensity is not the strongest, belonging to the typical medium-intensity ocean Typhoon case.
