Analysis of Typhoon Tembin
Track and Movement Characteristics
Typhoon Tembin (201214) 的生命史长达15天, 路径呈现出显著的复杂性与回旋特征. formed初期, 系统自Philippines以E洋面 toward WNW, at 8月20日达到Severe Typhoon级别. 随后, 其路径出现罕见的“打转”现象: 在8月23日至26日期间, Typhoon 中心在Taiwan海峡及S海N部海域徘徊, 坐标从lng 122.6°W移至116.8°后, 又折返 toward lng 117.9°, 120.6°Moving. 这种近乎停滞且反 toward 的Moving轨迹, 导致其影响Time大幅延长. 8月24日05:15, Typhoon 中心在Taiwan屏ELandfall, 受地形摩擦影响, intensity 短暂 weakened into Typhoon 级. 离开Taiwan后, 系统并未立即远离, 而是在海上重新组织并略微增强, 随后转 toward NE direction加速Moving, 最终 at 8月30日09:30在Korea全罗S道二次Landfall, 并 at 9月1日在高纬度地区转化为温带气旋消散.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
In terms of intensity, Tembin followed a typical strengthening-weakening-reintensifying-dissipating cycle. Its peak intensity occurred on August 20, when the minimum central pressure fell to 945 hPa and maximum winds reached 48 m/s, making it a severe typhoon. Before its first landfall in Taiwan, it fluctuated slightly but remained at severe typhoon intensity, with a central pressure of 950 hPa. After crossing Taiwan, its core structure was damaged and pressure rose to around 975 hPa. However, after moving into the E sea, favorable sea surface temperatures caused a slight rebound in intensity, with pressure briefly falling to 965 hPa. As it moved north of latitude 30°N, the intrusion of cold air and increased vertical wind shear rapidly weakened the system. Pressure rose to 1012 hPa before it was numbered off.
Compared with previous storms of the same name, Tembin in 2012 had significantly greater intensity. Tembin in 2017 peaked only at typhoon intensity, with a central pressure of 965 hPa, while its counterparts in 2005 and 2000 remained at tropical storm intensity, with central pressures of 992 hPa and 990 hPa, respectively. Data show that the 2012 Tembin was the strongest, longest-lived, and most complex storm among those sharing its name in nearly two decades. Its minimum pressure of 945 hPa was far lower than records from other years, demonstrating its exceptional ability to sustain energy.
