Typhoon Megi Trail Characteristics

Track Track and Moving Characteristics

Typhoon Megi (201013) 的生命史始 at 2010年10月13日20时, formed at Northwest Pacific洋面 (11.8°N, 140.9°E) , 初始状态为Tropical Storm. 在 formed初期, 系统整体呈现稳定的WNTrend. 从10月13日至10月17日, 其The latitude由11.8°N迅速N抬至18.1°N, During由140.9°EW进至125.0°E, 显示出较强的引导气流作用.

该Typhoon 的路径显著特征在 at LandfallPhilippines后的复杂转 toward 行为. 10月18日12时25分首次LandfallPhilippines后, 系统Go to S海海域. 数据显示, 10月19日05时至20日10时期间, Typhoon 中心The latitude在16.8°N至17.4°N之间小幅波动, During持续W移, 表现为近乎正W的Moving路径. 随后, 自10月20日21时起, 路径出现明显转折, Moving direction转为NE. 从10月21日至10月23日LandfallFujian漳浦前, Typhoon 中心纬度从18.6°N稳步上升至24.5°N, 完成了一次典型的“W进-停滞-N上”的路径调整, 最终 at 10月23日12时55分在漳浦二次Landfall并减弱消散.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Megi's Intensity evolution showed the characteristics of "fast enhancement-maintaining peak-slow weakening". The system was rapidly strengthened after formed, and in only about 4 days Time evolved from Tropical Storm (18m/s) to Super Typhoon. On October 17th, 20th, its intensity did not crash abruptly, but in October 19th to 21st, the timeined at the Typhoon level (wind52m/s, air pressure 940hPa), showing strong structural resilience.

Its peak atmospheric pressure is 895hPa far lower at 2016 Megi (935hPa), 2004 Megi (970hPa) and 2022 Megi (995hPa) . in 2022 the same name only reached the level of Tropical Storm, and 2010 Megi is not only Super Typhoon, but also the strongest in the same name cycle for two decades, one of the biggest potentials of destruction, reflecting significant differences in the context of different annual sea temperature and atmospheric circles.
