2012-08-02 03:15:00, Typhoon Saola in Taiwan Flower Landfall.
2012-08-03 06:50:00, Typhoon Saola in Qingdao Town Landfall.
2012-08-03 16:00:00 After, Typhoon Saola gradually weakened and was numbered off on 2012-08-03 16:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 116 track points.
Typhoon Saola (201209) 的生命周期始 at 2012年7月28日08时, 终 at 8月3日16时, 全程total 记录116 track points. 从 formed初期的经The latitude (14.4°N, 126.8°E) 至消散前的Position (27.7°N, 117.7°E) , 其整体Moving路径呈现明显的NW toward 推进特征. 在7月28日至7月31日期间, Typhoon 中心纬度由14.4°N迅速N抬至21.6°N, During则从126.8°EW移至124.2°E, 显示出稳定的WNWMoving态势. 值得注意的是, 7月31日00时至18时期间, Typhoon 中心在20.8°N至21.6°N, 124.3°E至124.2°E之间出现短暂的徘徊与微调, 随后 at 8月1日加速 toward NW, 直指TaiwanE部coastal . 8月2日凌晨LandfallTaiwan花莲后, 路径继续 toward W穿越Taiwan岛, 并 at 8月3日清晨在Fujian秦屿镇再次Landfall, 最终 toward 内陆深入并减弱消散.
Saola的Intensity演变经历了快速增强, 维持巅峰及Landfall减弱三个阶段. 初始阶段为Tropical Storm (18m/s, 1000hPa) , 随后在48h内迅速加强, 至7月30日14时已发展为Typhoon 级别 (33m/s, 975hPa) . 7月31日至8月1日中午, Typhoon Intensity在33m/s至40m/s之间波动, 气压降至955hPa. 8月1日12时达到观测期间的相对高点, wind speed达40m/s. 在接近Taiwan海岸时, intensity 维持在Typhoon 级别. 8月2日03:15LandfallTaiwan花莲后, 受地形摩擦及水汽切断影响, intensity 开始显著下滑. 8月2日15时wind speed降至35m/s, 气压回升至965hPa. 8月3日06:50二次LandfallFujian秦屿镇时, 已 weakened into Severe Tropical Storm (25m/s, 985hPa附近) , 最终 at 8月3日16时 weakened into Tropical Storm (20m/s, 990hPa) 并结束监测. 虽然数据标注巅峰为Severe Typhoon (42m/s, 950hPa) , 但采样点显示其在近海维持了较长Time的高Intensity状态.
2012 Saola minimum air pressure is 950hPa, max wind 42m/s, set to Severe Typhoon level. in comparison, 2023 Saola (202309) Intensity is significantly stronger, reach Super Typhoon level, minimum pressure is lower than 915hPa; 2005 Saola (200517) is equivalent to 2012 Saola Intensity, equal to Severe Typhoon level, minimum pressure is 950hPa; and 2017 Saola (201722) Intensity is weakest, only for Typhoon level, minimum pressure is 975hPa.
