The SummaryTyphoon Kujira (international code 200901) is a 2009 Northwest Pacific typhoon; peak intensity Typhoon, max wind 40m/s, minimum central pressure 960hPa, not in China Landfall, 2009-05-07 was numbered off, recording 17 track points.
Typhoon Kujira, international code 200901, international name Kujira, 2009 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 2009-05-03 08:00:00, ended: 2009-05-07 08:00:00. Peak intensity: Typhoon , minimum central pressure: 960 hPa, max wind: 40m/s.
Typhoon Kujira at 2009-05-03 08:00:00 at 13.9°N, 124.4°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Tropical Storm.
It peaked at Typhoon intensity with max winds of 40 m/s (~144 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 960hPa, recorded at 2009-05-05 02:00:00.
2009-05-07 08:00:00 After, Typhoon Kujira gradually weakened and was numbered off on 2009-05-07 08:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 17 track points.
From the initial formed point (13.9°N, 124.4°E) to May 5, 08:00, the system mainly toward NW direction, latitude from 13.9°N to 17.6°N, length from 124.4°E to 132.7°E. During this time, the center of the Typhoon crossed a wide warm water area, untouched by land geographic friction,ining a relatively linear Moving path.
As the latitude continues to 26°N, the length toward E extends to 143.8°E, Moving direction turns from NW to NE. This turn toward is usually associated with changes in the mid-latitude W wind belt guiding air flow. Thro the life cycle, the Typhoon has no landfall records, is always active at sea, and eventually weakens dispersion in higher latitudes.
“Kujira”经历了快速增强, 巅峰维持及缓慢减弱三个阶段. formed初期为Tropical Storm (18m/s) , 在约36h内迅速 intensified into Severe Tropical Storm, 并 at 5月4日20:00达到Typhoon 级别 (38m/s) . 5月5日02:00, 其Intensity达到巅峰, 中心最低气压降至960hPa, max wind 达40m/s. 值得注意的是, 在随后的近48h内 (5月5日02:00至5月6日14:00) , Typhoon 维持在peak intensity附近, 气压稳定在960hPa, wind speed在38-40m/s之间波动, 显示出极佳的结构稳定性. 5月7日凌晨开始, 随着The latitude升高, intensity 逐渐减弱, 最终降为Severe Tropical Storm.
Compared with the same name History, the 2009 “Kujira” Intensity is significantly higher at 2015 (minimum air pressure 982hPa) and 2020 (minimum air pressure 980hPa) the same name Typhoon, the latter only reach the Severe Tropical Storm level. however, its Intensity is far less than the 2003 No. 2 Typhoon “Kujira”, the latter developed as Super Typhoon, the minimum pressure is low to 904hPa.
