Characteristics of Typhoon Nuri
Path and Moving Characteristics
Typhoon Nuri, the 12th numbered storm of 2008, began its life over the Northwest Pacific and followed a steady west-northwestward path. From 133.4°E at formation to 112.3°E before dissipation, it traveled more than 20 degrees of longitude, indicating strong westward movement. Its center latitude gradually increased from 15.7°N to 23.3°N, with no marked path turns or major shifts in direction, suggesting consistent and stable steering by the subtropical high. Although its track was relatively straight, its movement speed adjusted slightly in the later stages as it moved northward and approached land. It ultimately weakened and dissipated over waters near the Guangdong coast. Notably, it made no landfall and remained at sea throughout its life. Although its final track brought it close to the coastline, it completed its intensity-loss process while staying in the offshore region.
Intensity Evolution Analysis
“Nuri”经历了典型的快速增强至巅峰维持, 随后逐渐减弱的生命史. formed初期为Tropical Storm (18m/s, 998hPa) , 在约30h内迅速 intensified into Typhoon 级别. 8月20日08:00至22:00期间, Typhoon 达到peak intensity, 中心最低气压降至960hPa, max wind 维持在40m/s, 并在该Intensity等级上保持了约14h的稳定期. 此后, 随着系统 toward NMoving并受到环境因素影响, intensity 开始缓慢下降. 8月21日晚至22日上午, wind speed由38m/s逐步降至35m/s, 气压回升至970hPa. Go to 8月22日下午后, 减弱速度加快, 由Typhoon 级降为Severe Tropical Storm, 最终 at 8月23日14:00 weakened into Tropical Depression (14m/s, 1000hPa) 并结束code. 整个过程体现了中等IntensityTyphoon 的典型热力结构变化.
Same-Name Comparison
Compare the 2008 'Nuri' with previously the same name Typhoon, its Intensity is significantly high at recent parts of the same name system, but weak at historically strong cases. 2020 and 2026, the same name Typhoon peak intensity only at Tropical Storm level (minimum air pressure 990hPa and 998hPa) , far less than the 2008 'Nuri' Typhoon level peak (960hPa) . However, compared with the 2014 20th Typhoon 'Nuri' , the 2008 system's Intensity difference About is obvious, the latter has reached Super Typhoon level, minimum pressure low to 920hPa.
