The SummaryTyphoon Melor (international code 200918) is a 2009 Northwest Pacific typhoon; peak intensity Super Typhoon, max wind 65m/s, minimum central pressure 905hPa, not in China Landfall, 2009-10-09 was numbered off, recording 43 track points.
Typhoon Melor, international code 200918, international name MELOR, 2009 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 2009-09-29 20:00:00, ended: 2009-10-09 02:00:00. Peak intensity: Super Typhoon, minimum central pressure: 905 hPa, max wind: 65m/s.
Typhoon Melor at 2009-09-29 20:00:00 at 10.7°N, 157.4°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Tropical Storm.
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 (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.
During this period, after the Typhoon center reached the most W end of about 133.6°E, the path curvature changed significantly, beginning to gradually turn toward NE direction. Go to October 7th after, as the latitude broke 27°N, the system completely Go to W wind belt control zone, the path turned sharply toward NE, the length reverted toward E, and finally at October 9th at 41.6°N, 144.9°E weakened dispersed.
Melor's Intensity evolution has experienced rapid enhancement, peak maintenance and variability weakening in three stages. Initially called Tropical Storm (18m/s), during October 2 to October 4 experienced explosive enhancement, wind speed jumped from 45m/s to 55m/s, air pressure dropped to 925hPa. On October 5 at 02 at the peak, the center lowest air pressure to 905hPa, max wind to 65m/s, classified as Super Typhoon, andined the extremely high Intensity in the following 18h. From October 6, as the latitude increased and the environmental field changed, intensity began to weaken steadily, from Super Typhoon to Severe Typhoon, until finally turned into a temperature cycle 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.
