Characteristics of Typhoon Khanun

Path and Moving Characteristics

According to sampling data, the typhoon overall showed a stable NW toward MovingTrend, with no apparent path turn or stagnation phenomenon. in the initial phase, the system position at lat 24.2°N, 136° near, followed by a faster toward NW direction advance. During the period July 17 to 18, the typhoon center latitude rapidly increased from 25.8°N to 34.8°N, the longitude shifted from 132.9°EW to 126°E, showing stronger toward and latitude toward Moving scores.

It is worth noting that when the Typhoon approached the S-zone of the Korean Peninsula, the Moving direction gradually shifted from NW to more N-direction. July 18 at 09:00 to 19:00, the length variation was very small (only from 126.5°E to 126°E), while the latitude continued to N-direction, indicating that the system was on the eve of Landfall Korea's S-direction, influenced by the mid-latitude W-band guided air flow, the path turning at N. This straight-linked N-side path features, enabling it to quickly cross the E-sea N section and directly affect the Korean Peninsula Scoastal.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

在Intensity方面, 2012年“Khanun”始终维持在Tropical Storm级别, 未达到Severe Typhoon或Super Typhoon标准. 数据显示, 其Pressure从初始的1002hPa逐步下降, at 7月17日23时达到最低值990hPa, 此时Max Wind为23m/s. 此后直至7月19日00时, 气压保持在990-992hPa之间波动, wind speed稳定在20-23m/s, 表明其在生命后期Intensity趋 at 饱和且结构稳定, 未出现剧烈增强或减弱过程.

Compared to the same name History, 2012 'Khanun' Intensity is significantly weaker.Return to previous data, 2023 Khanun peak intensity is Super Typhoon (minimum atmospheric pressure 935hPa) , 2017 Severe Typhoon (955hPa) , 2005 also Severe Typhoon (945hPa) .In comparison, 2012 system minimum atmospheric pressure is higher in these years at least 35hPa above, max wind is also much lower at Severe Typhoon level (usually required ≥32.7m/s) .This reflects that 2012 'Khanun' is a typical medium intensity, fast N tropical cycling, its destructive force mainly at windstorms and not extreme wind force, with the following year's same name power Typhoon formed markedly contrary
