Characteristics of Typhoon Fanapi
Track and Turning Characteristics
Typhoon Fanapi (201011) began over the Northwest Pacific and followed a complex track featuring a W-shaped turn, a northward shift, and another westward movement. From September 15 to 17, it moved northwest from 19.8°N, 128.8°E to 22.2°N, while its longitude fluctuated slightly between 127.6°E and 128.8°E, showing stable west-northwestward movement under the steering flow of the subtropical high. From September 18 to the early hours of September 19, Typhoon Fanapi moved rapidly westward, with its longitude decreasing from 126.8°E to 123.1°E, while maintaining a high latitude of 23.3°N to 24.1°N. Its track became increasingly straight as it approached the waters east of Taiwan.
It is worth noting that on September 19, after 09:00 Landfall flowering, the path appeared marked latitude decline with the length of W in conjunction with the characteristics. the center coordinates dropped from 24.1°N to 23.1°N, then the latitude once again steeply increased to 23.6°N during the crossing of the Taiwan Strait, and finally at September 20, 07:00 at the second Landfall in Zhejiang.
Intensity Evolution and Peak Status
Starting from the September 15 Tropical Depression (15m/s, 1002hPa), the system rapidly strengthened within 48h, to reach its peak by 18:00 on September 18, confirmed that Super Typhoon, the central minimum air pressure dropped to 935hPa, max wind reached 52m/s. During the period from 18:00 to 02:00 on September 19, Typhoonined about 8h peak intensity, air pressure stable at 935hPa, wind speedined 52m/s, showing extremely strong structural stability.
Within a few hours, wind speed dropped from 52m/s to 45m/s, air pressure rebounded to 950hPa. After crossing Taiwan, despite Go to the Strait waters, but failed to re-significantly strengthen, instead continued to weaken. on September 20, the second Landfall Zhejiang has dropped to Typhoon level (35m/s, 970hPa) , then deep into the interior rapidly declined to Tropical Storm and Tropical Depression, until September 21, 02:00 before dispersal, wind speed has dropped to 16m/s, air pressure has rebounded to 998hPa. Compared to at the same historical name Typhoon Fanapi , with the extremely low Pressure 935hPa and 52m/s high speedwind, showed high potential explosion in the 2010 North
