Typhoon Banyan trajectory
Track and Movement Characteristics
2011年第20号Typhoon “Banyan”的生命史较短, 从 formed到消散历时约3天. 观测数据显示, 该系统自2011年10月11日14时在Philippines以E洋面 (8.6°N, 128.3°E) formed后, 整体呈现稳定的NW toward MovingTrend. 在初始阶段 (10月11日至12日上午) , Typhoon 中心纬度从8.6°N缓慢N移至10.3°N, 经度由128.3°EW进至124.3°E, Moving路径较为平直.
It is worth noting that between 14 and 20 a.m. on October 12, Typhoon's central latitude jumped significantly, rising from 10.3°N rapidly to 12.2°N, showing its shift speed accelerated or enhanced by the influence of guided airflow. subsequently, the systemined theNNW, reaching the most W-side position (12.6°N, 119.9°E) until about 08 a.m. on October 13 .
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
In terms of intensity, “Banyan” shows a typical “birth-and-top” characteristic. Data show that at the beginning of its formation (October 11, 14 am) it reached Tropical Storm intensity with max winds of 18m/s, minimum pressure of 998hPa. In 30 hours afterwards, the intensity remained stable, the air pressure remaining at 998hPa. However, from October 12, 23 pm, the system began to weaken, degraded to Tropical Depression, max wind dropped to 16m/s, Pressure returned to 1002hPa.
Its peak intensity (Tropical Storm, 998hPa) was equal to the 23rd Typhoon “Banyan” in 2022, but far weaker at the 12th Typhoon “Banyan” in 2017 (Severe Typhoon, 950hPa) and the 7th Typhoon “Banyan” in 2005 (Severe Tropical Storm, 980hPa).
