It peaked at Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of 65 m/s (~234 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 905hPa, recorded at 2009-10-04 20:00:00.

2009-10-09 02:00:00 After, Typhoon Melor gradually weakened and was numbered off on 2009-10-09 02:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 43 track points.

Typhoon Melor Trail Characteristics

Track Track and Turn toward characteristics

Typhoon Melor (200918) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“W行—NW行—转 toward NE”的抛物线形态. formed初期 (9月29日至10月3日) , 系统稳定 toward W, The latitude从10.7°N缓慢N抬至16.2°N, During由157.4°EW进至146.7°E, 此阶段主要受副热带高压S侧引导气流影响. 10月4日至10月5日期间, 路径转为NW direction, Moving速度加快, Center迅速逼近137.6°E附近.

关键的转 toward 点出现在10月5日20时至10月6日之间. 在此期间, Typhoon 中心到达最W端约133.6°E后, 路径曲率发生显著变化, 开始逐渐转 toward NE direction. Go to 10月7日后, 随着The latitude突破27°N, 系统完全Go to W风带控制区, 路径急剧转 toward NE, During重新 toward E回调, 最终 at 10月9日在41.6°N, 144.9°E附近减弱消散. 全生命周期内无Landfall记录, 始终在洋面上活动.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Melor的Intensity演变经历了快速增强, 巅峰维持及变性减弱三个阶段. 初始为Tropical Storm (18m/s) , 在10月2日至10月4日期间经历爆发式增强, wind speed从45m/s跃升至55m/s, 气压骤降至925hPa. 10月5日02时达到巅峰状态, 中心最低气压低至905hPa°E, max wind 达65m/s, 评定为Super Typhoon, 并在随后18h内维持该极高Intensity. 10月6日起, 随着The latitude升高及环境场改变, intensity 开始稳步减弱, 由Super Typhoon降级为Severe Typhoon, 直至最终转化为温带气旋前 weakened into Tropical Storm.

Compared to the same name, Melor's 2009 Intensity was significantly higher at other years of the same class named Typhoon . 2015's 27th Typhoon Melor peak air pressure was 935hPa, 2003's 19th Typhoon Melor was only 967hPa (Typhoon ). Data showed that 2009's Melor not only reached Super Typhoon level, its lowest air pressure was 30hPa lower than 2015's same name Typhoon, 62hPa lower than 2003, showing a more intense energy release process and stronger extreme intensity characteristics.
