Characteristics of Typhoon Malakas

Moving and turning toward characteristics

2010年第12号Typhoon “Malakas”的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific洋面, 整体路径呈现显著的“先W后N再NE”的抛物线型轨迹. formed初期 (9月21日至22日) , 系统位 at 18°N附近, 主要受副热带高压S侧引导气流影响, 维持稳定的W toward Moving, During从144.9°E缓慢W移至142.1°E, The latitude变化较小. 9月23日凌晨至上午, 路径出现微弱摆动, 随后开始 toward N转折. 9月23日14时, 系统正式 intensified into Typhoon 级, 并加速 toward NW.

During this period, the Typhoon center latitude rapidly jumped from 26.1°N to 31°N, length slightly shifted from 141.2°E to E, marking the system Go to W wind belt control zone, path from NW toward to NE toward . Subsequently, the Moving speed significantly accelerated, September 25 08 to 26 02:00, a short 18-hour latitude crossing 7 latitudes (from 34.4°N to 41.3°N), length toward E pushing about 6 lengths, showing the characteristics of acceleration before the typical temperature band rotation.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

The initial phase is Tropical Storm, Pressure998hPa. From September 23, 14, with toward NMoving, the intensity is rapidly increased, 6hwind speed from 23m/s to 33m/s, the air pressure drops to 975hPa. On September 24, at 14, the system reaches the peak, established as Severe Typhoon, max wind 45m/s, minimum pressure 950hPa. It is worth noting that within the following 36h (until September 25, 20am) , although the latitude is significantly increased, its core Intensity remains at Severe Typhoon level (45m/s, 950hPa) , showing stronger variability resistance.

与同名History相比, 2010年Malakas的peak intensity (950hPa) 略弱 at 2016年及2022年的同名Typhoon (均为940hPa) , 但远强 at 2004年仅达Tropical Storm级别 (995hPa) 的Malakas. 这表明该命名下的Typhoon 在近年有增强Trend, 且2010年个案属 at 中等偏强的Severe Typhoon过程.
