Track Track and Moving Features

2008年第11号Typhoon “Vongfong”的生命史较短, 从 formed到消散仅持续约54h. 观测数据显示, 该Typhoon 自2008年8月15日08时在Northwest Pacific洋面 (28.8°N, 134.3°E) formed后, 整体呈现稳定的NETrend. 在整个生命周期内, 其路径未出现明显的折 toward 或回旋, 表现为典型的受W风带引导气流影响的转 toward 后加速路径.

从经The latitude变化来看, Typhoon 中心纬度由初始的28.8°N迅速N抬至结束时的39.2°N, 累计 toward NMoving超过10个纬度; During则由134.3°EE移至154.7°E, toward E跨度约20个经度. 这种高纬度的快速NE toward Moving表明系统深受中纬度W风槽前SW气流的牵引. 由 at 路径始终位 at 开阔洋面, 且无Landfall记录, 该Typhoon 未对陆地造成直接的风雨影响.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

在Intensity方面, 2008 Typhoon “Vongfong”表现出“快速增强并维持稳定”的特征. formed初期Pressure为1000hPa, max wind 18m/s. 仅在6h后 (8月15日14时) , 其Intensity即达到巅峰状态, 中心最低气压降至994hPa, max wind 增至20m/s, 定级为Tropical Storm. 值得注意的是, 在随后的48h内, 直至8月17日14时消散, 其Pressure始终维持在994hPa, max wind 保持在20m/s, 未出现进一步的加强或显著减弱过程, 显示出一种罕见的Intensity平台期特征.

Compared with the same name History, the 2008 'Vongfong' Intensity is significantly weaker. 2020 1st Typhoon 'Vongfong' peak intensity to Severe Typhoon level (minimum air pressure 950hPa) , 2014 19th Typhoon 'Vongfong' is also reached Super Typhoon level (minimum air pressure 900hPa) . Even the relatively weak 2002 14th Typhoon 'Vongfong', its peak low air pressure also reached 984hPa, excellent at 2008 this case.
