Overview of Typhoon Ketsana

Typhoon Ketsana at 2009-09-26 02:00:00 at 15.1°N, 123.5°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.

It peaked at Typhoon intensity with max winds of 40 m/s (~144 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 960hPa, recorded at 2009-09-28 22:00:00.

2009-09-30 08:00:00 After, Typhoon Ketsana gradually weakened and was numbered off on 2009-09-30 08:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 54 track points.

Typhoon Ketsana Route Characteristics

Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Ketsana (200916)'s history began at 26 September 2009 at 02:00, initial Position position at lat 15.1°N, 123.5°, at this time Nameless. Thro the observation cycle, the system as a whole showed a stable W-line trend, with no apparent N upward toward or S downward twisting phenomenon.

Specifically, the Typhoon center moved from 123.5°E to 117.6°E. After Go to S Sea, the Moving speed was slightly adjusted, but direction remained toward W. Until the end of September 29, when the system approached the Central S Peninsula coastal, the latitude slightly S pressed to 15.3°N near, then continued to Go to the Inland region.

Evolution of intensity and peak state

Ketsana的Intensity演变经历了典型的“ formed-加强-巅峰-减弱”过程. 初期发展迅速, 从Nameless增强为Tropical Storm仅用时15h. Go to S海后, 系统持续加深, at 9月28日12:00达到Typhoon 级别 (33m/s, 970hPa) . 随后Intensity进一步攀升, 在9月28日20:00至9月29日04:00期间达到巅峰状态, 中心最低气压降至960hPa, max wind 维持在40m/s, 并在此Intensity等级上保持了约12h的稳定期.

It is worth noting that after the end of the peak maintenance phase, the intensity decreased relatively slowly. September 29, 08:00wind speed decreased to 35m/s, but until September 29, 17:00 stillined Typhoon level Intensity. Go to September 30, as the system deep into the land or affected by the environment, the intensity drastically decreased, by Severe Tropical Storm quickly weakened into Nameless, finally at 08:00 at 16m/s wind speed and 996hPa atmospheric pressure end observations. Compared to at other homonymous or synchronous Typhoon , Ketsana is able to maintain longer Time Typhoon level Intensity, and peak pressure is lower, showing stronger structural stability.
