Track Track and Moving Features

2010年第10号Typhoon “Meranti”的生命史相对短暂, 从 formed到消散历时约2天21h. 其初始Position位 at lat 21.7°N, 121.5°附近, 整体路径呈现显著的NW toward MovingTrend. 在9月8日02:00至9月9日00:00期间, Typhoon 中心The latitude由21.7°N缓慢S压至20.8°N, During由121.5°EW移至119.1°E, 表现为 toward WS direction的调整过程. 随后, 自9月9日05:00起, 系统路径发生明显转折, 开始稳定 toward NW direction推进, 纬度迅速N抬. 9月10日03:30, Typhoon 中心在Fujian石狮Landfall. Landfall后, 系统继续 toward NE direction深入内陆, 最终 at 9月10日23:00 at 28.2°N, 119.3° weakened into Nameless并结束监测. 整个路径过程中, Typhoon 未出现大幅度的回旋或停滞, Moving路径较为线性, Landfall点位 at Fujiancoastal 中部.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

In terms of Intensity change, “Meranti” underwent a full enhancement cycle from Nameless to Typhoon, and reached its peak in the landfall before. Initial phase (September 8, 02:00) Pressure is 998hPa, max wind 16m/s. After about a day of slow integration, the system at September 9, 15:00 intensified into Severe Tropical Storm. Then Intensity rapidly increased, to September 10, 06:00, that is, shortly after Landfall, reached the strongest state in life history: the central minimum air pressure dropped to 975hPa, max wind increased to 35m/s, qualified as Typhoon level.

Compared with the same name Typhoon, the 2010 'Meranti' Intensity is significantly weak at the 2016 14th Typehoon 'Meranti' (top Super Typhoon, minimum pressure 900hPa), both of which have a huge difference in the intensity grade. Compared with the 2004 13th Typehoon 'Meranti' (top Typhoon, minimum pressure 970hPa), the 2010 version's peak air pressure is slightly higher 5hPa, the overall Intensity is slightly weaker, but both reach the Typehoon level.
