Track Track and Moving Features

2012年第2号Typhoon “Sanvu”的生命周期始 at Northwest Pacific洋面, 整体路径呈现稳定的NW toward MovingTrend, 未发生显著转 toward 或Landfall行为. 从初始 formed点 (13.5°N, 144.1°E) 至最终消散点 (23.8°N, 140°E) , 系统中心The latitude持续N抬, During逐渐W移. 在5月22日至23日期间, Typhoon 主要 toward NW direction行进, Moving速度相对均匀. 值得注意的是, 在5月24日02:00至08:00期间, 经度变化极小 (从139.7°E移至139.4°E) , 显示系统在Severe Tropical Storm阶段曾出现短暂的近乎停滞或缓慢N移状态. 随后, 系统恢复NW toward Moving, 并 at 5月25日后期略微 toward E偏转 (经度从139.2°E回升至140°E) , 表明其在高纬度地区受到环境流场变化的影响, 路径末端出现轻微的NE toward 偏移迹象. 全程无Landfall记录, 主要在开阔洋面上活动.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

“Sanvu”的Intensity演变经历了从Tropical Storm到Typhoon 的完整增强过程, 且peak intensity维持Time较长. 初始阶段为Tropical Storm (18m/s) , 随后在5月23日波动中逐步加强, at 5月23日20:00升级为Severe Tropical Storm (25m/s) . 经过约一天的稳定增强, 系统在5月24日20:00达到Typhoon 级别 (33m/s) , 并 at 5月25日08:00达到peak intensity, max wind 35m/s, minimum pressure 970hPa. 在巅峰状态下, Typhoon 维持了至少12h (直至5月25日20:00结束观测) , 期间气压稳定在970hPa, wind speed保持35m/s, 显示出良好的结构稳定性.

Its peak air pressure (970hPa) is equal to the 15th Typhoon “Sanvu” in 2017, but significantly lower at the 10th Typhoon “Sanvu” in 2005 (975hPa, NOTE: The lower air pressure value here represents the stronger Intensity, so 2012 is equal to the 2017 Intensity, the best at 2005 and 2023) . Compared to the 1st Typhoon “Sanvu” in 2023 only reaches the Tropical Storm level (992hPa), the system in 2012 is more fully developed, reaching the Typhoon measurement level, reflecting the significant differences between the different years of the same name Typhoon in the development and potential of the formed environment.
