Characteristics of Typhoon Higos
Track Movement and Recurvature Characteristics
2008年第17号Typhoon “Higos”的生命史始 at 2008年9月30日08时, 终 at 10月4日20时, 全程total 记录44 track points. 从空间轨迹来看, 该Typhoon formed at Philippines以E洋面 (11°N, 127.1°E) , 整体呈现稳定的NW toward MovingTrend. 在9月30日至10月2日期间, 系统中心纬度由11°N迅速N抬至16.3°N, 经度由127.1°EW进至116°E, 显示出受副热带高压引导气流影响显著, Moving速度较快且 direction单一.
It is worth noting that after Go to October 3, the pattern of the path changed subtly. Although the overall continued to maintain the trend on N, the W inputs were significantly weakened. The data showed that on October 3 at 02:00 to 17:00, the length only slowly moved from 113.3°E to 111.1°E, while the latitude continued to rise from 16.4°N to 18.7°N. This suggested that when the system approached the S Sea N area, the Moving direction gradually shifted from NW to almost right N, and on October 3 at 20:00 basically along the line toward N, until October 420 at 21.4°N, near 110.8°E.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
In terms of intensity, “Higos” shows typical weak Tropical Cyclone characteristics. Since the beginning of the formed, its peak intensity is classified as the Tropical Storm level, the central minimum air pressure isined at 998hPa, max wind is 18m/s. From September 30, 08am to October 3, 20am for more than three days, its core weather elements (atmospheric pressure 998hPa, wind speed 18m/s) remain astonishingly consistent, there is no noticeable enhancement or weakening process, showing structural stability but limited energy state.
Historical data show that in 2002 'Higos' had reached Super Typhoon level (minimum atmospheric pressure of 904hPa), in 2015 and 2020 respectively reached Severe Typhoon and Typhoon level (minimum atmospheric pressure of 945hPa and 970hPa respectively) . Even the future 2026 is the same name Typhoon , its estimated minimum atmospheric pressure is also 990hPa, slightly strong at 2008 version.
