The SummaryTyphoon Kirogi (international code 201212) is a 2012 Northwest Pacific typhoon; peak intensity Tropical Storm, max wind 18m/s, minimum central pressure 998hPa, not in China Landfall, 2012-08-09 was numbered off, recorded 4 track points.
Typhoon Kirogi, international code 201212, international name Kirogi, 2012 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 2012-08-08 11:00:00, ended: 2012-08-09 02:00:00. Peak intensity: Tropical Storm, minimum central pressure: 998 hPa, max wind: 18m/s.
Typhoon Kirogi at 2012-08-08 11:00:00 at 31.7°N, 159°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Tropical Storm.
It peaked at Tropical Storm intensity with max winds of 18 m/s (~65 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 998hPa, recorded at 2012-08-08 11:00:00.
Typhoon Kirogi gradually weakened and was numbered off on 2012-08-09 02:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 4 track points.
According to the four path sampling points provided, Typhoon Center gradually moved from the initial 31.7°N, 159.0°E to the final 33.5°N, 156.6°E. During this period, the latitude rose from 31.7°N to 33.5°N, indicating its continued toward N propulsion; the length moved from 159.0°E to 156.6°E, showing a marked toward W score at the same time.
By calculating coordinate changes in adjacent Time points, the Typhoon Moving path is relatively flat, with no significant shift toward or stagnation.Especially during the 6h on August 8th at 14-20, the latitude N rose rapidly by 1.1 degrees, the length W shifted by 1.1 degrees, showing that the stage Moving speed was relatively fast and directionined NW. During the entire life cycle, the Typhoon remained at the far ocean, without any Landfall records, its activity range mainly concentrated at lat 31 degrees to 34 degrees, lng 156 degrees to 159 degrees between the Northwest Pacific Ocean.
In terms of intensity, the 2012 Typhoon “Kirogi” remained constant throughout the observation window.The data from all four sampling points showed its rating as Tropical Storm, the center's lowest atmospheric pressure remaining at 998hPa, the max wind stable at 18m/s. This suggests that during this short period, the Typhoon was neither significantly enhanced nor showed signs of weakening, at a dynamic balance stable period.
In 2000 the 3rd Typhoon “Kirogi” had reached the Super Typhoon level, in 2005 the 20th Typhoon “Kirogi” also reached the Severe Typhoon level (minimum air pressure 940hPa), the second intensity far exceeded the 2012 individual. even compared with the closer 2023 12th Typhoon “Kirogi”, the latter peak intensity also reaches Severe Tropical Storm (minimum air pressure 980hPa), air pressure value is lower, wind force is stronger.
