Typhoon Soudelor Route Characteristics

Track Track and Moving Features

The life history of the 5th Typhoon “Soudelor” in 2009 is short, from formed to dispersed lasting only about 60h. Observation data show that the system at July 10, 08 at the Philippines Lusong Island W-side waters (18.9°N, 120.8°E) formed in the Nameless form, then quickly toward W through the Vietnam Sea N. In the early Moving, the systemined a stable W-line path, with minor latitude variations, and the main length moved rapidly from 120.8°EW to 113.8°E.

值得注意的是, 自7月11日15时 intensified into Tropical Storm后, 其Moving路径出现显著的纬 toward 停滞与经 toward 持续推进特征. 在7月11日18时至7月12日12时期间, 中心The latitude基本维持在20.2°N至20.3°N之间, 几乎呈直线 toward WMoving, 横跨S海N部Go to N部湾海域. 直至7月12日15时后, 路径才略微 toward N偏转, 最终 at 7月12日20时在Vietnam附近海域 (21.4°N, 106.5°E) weakened into Nameless并结束监测. 整个过程中, 该系统未Landfall任何陆地, 始终在海上活动.

The system formed the initial Pressure of 996hPa, max wind 15m/s. With toward WMoving, it reached the Tropical Storm intensity with max winds of increasing to 18m/s on July 15th, Pressure dropped to 996hPa. Following the IntensityGo to platform period, max wind length Timeined at 18m/s, Pressure fluctuated slightly between 996hPa and 994hPa.
