Typhoon Paka Trail Characteristics
Route Moving and Spatial Characteristics
In 2012, the life history of the 1st Typhoon “Paka” was relatively short, from the formed to the data record end of about 60h. The observation data showed that the Typhoon overall showed a stable W line path, the latitude variation is very small, alwaysined in the narrow band area of 9.4°N to 9.8°N. During the period from March 29th, 08.00 to March 30th, the length of the Typhoon center slowly moved from 112.5°E to 111.0°E, Moving speed is relatively sluggish. It is worth noting that, during March 29th, 20:00 to March 30th, 02:00, the latitude from 9.7°N subsequently remained stable, showing its guiding flow is mainly E wind, lacking a noticeable SN toward segment. After March 30
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
In terms of intensity, “Paka” underwent a rapid enhancement after maintenance peak, then slow weakening process. Initial phase (March 29, 08:00) for Tropical Storm, Pressure1004hPa, max wind 18m/s. Then the air pressure dropped rapidly, by March 30, 08:00 to peak intensity, upgraded to Severe Tropical Storm, minimum pressure dropped to 985hPa, max wind increased to 28m/s. The peak stateined about 12h (March 30, 08:00 to 20:00) , during the period and wind speed remained stable.
Compared to the same name History, the peak intensity of Paka in 2012 (Severe Tropical Storm, 985hPa) is significantly weaker between the Paka in 2022 (Tropical Storm, 990hPa) and the Paka in 2017 (Typhoon, 978hPa). compared to the Super Typhoon 'Paka' in 1997, the intensity of the 2012 system is significantly weaker.
