Characteristics of Typhoon Linfa

Track Track and Moving Features

2009年第3号Typhoon “Linfa”的生命史始 at S海NE部海域, 整体路径呈现明显的“先W后N再NE”的折线型特征. formed初期 (6月17日至18日) , 系统位 at lat 17.8度, lng 117.8度附近, 受引导气流影响 toward W direction缓慢Moving, Center在W经116.5度至117.1度之间徘徊, 显示出早期Moving速度较慢且路径存在小幅摆动. 6月19日18时左右, typhoon track出现关键转折, 由W转为N, 这一转 toward 点大致位 at lat 18.9度, lng 117.5度附近. 随后, 系统沿Taiwan海峡W侧N上, During变化相对较小, 维持在lng 117.5度至118.5度区间, 直至6月21日后逐渐 toward E偏移. Go to 生命末期, Typhoon 加速 toward NE, 最终 at 6月22日20时在Zhejiangcoastal 以E洋面减弱消散. 全过程无Landfall记录, 主要活动区域集中在海上.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

In terms of intensity evolution, “Linfa” has experienced a typical “enhanced-top-weakened” process. Initial phase is Nameless, then rapidly intensified into Tropical Storm. June 20 to 21 morning is its rapid enhancement period, Pressure drops from 990hPa to the lowest 980hPa, max wind increases to 28m/s, reaching the peak intensity of the Severe Tropical Storm level. However, the peak stateins a shorter Time, from June 21 at 10 a.m., as the latitude rises and environmental field changes, intensity begins to decline, although at 22:10 a brief rise back to the Tropical Storm level, but the overall trend is weakened, eventually reduced to Nameless.

Its peak intensity (Severe Tropical Storm, 980hPa) is high at 2020's 15th Typhoon 'Linfa' (Tropical Storm, 995hPa), but weak at 2015's 10th Typhoon 'Linfa' (Typhoon, 970hPa).
