Typhoon Bolaven (201215) 的生命史长达9天, 整体路径呈现典型的NW toward Moving后转 toward N上的特征. formed初期, 系统位 at Philippines以E洋面 (17.2°N, 141.6°E) , 随后稳定 toward NW direction推进. 在8月20日至8月27日期间, Typhoon 中心The latitude从17.2°N持续N移至32.3°N, During从141.6°EW移至125.2°E, 显示出强劲的NW行进动力.

值得注意的是, 该Typhoon 在接近E亚大陆coastal 时并未直接LandfallChinaSEcoastal , 而是在lng 125度附近发生明显的路径转折. 8月27日23时至8月28日05时, 其During基本维持在125.2°E至125.3°E之间, The latitude却快速从32.3°N跃升至33.9°N, 标志着Moving direction由NW转为正N. 此后, Typhoon 加速N上, 穿越黄海, 先后 at 8月28日15:15Landfall黄Hainan道, 22:50Landfall朝鲜平安, 最终深入高纬度地区, at 8月29日09:00到达44.8°N, 127.7°E并 weakened into Tropical Storm.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Bolaven的Intensity变化经历了“快速增强—巅峰维持—迅速减弱”三个阶段. 初始阶段为Nameless (16m/s) , 在5天内快速加强, at 8月26日08:00达到巅峰状态, 成为Super Typhoon, 中心最低气压降至935hPa°E, max wind 达52m/s. peak intensity维持了约18h (至8月27日02:00) , 随后受N上环境影响, intensity 开始波动下降. 在Landfall黄Hainan道前, 其Intensity已 weakened into Typhoon 级别 (33-38m/s) , Landfall后进一步快速衰减, Go to 高The latitude后转化为Tropical Storm.

Its peak air pressure was 935hPa significantly stronger at 2005 Bolaven (975hPa) and 2018 Bolaven (1000hPa, only to Tropical Storm), also stronger at 2000 Bolaven (Severe Tropical Storm). However, compared to 2023 Bolaven (Super Typhoon with a minimum air pressure of 900hPa), 2012 Bolaven's peak intensity was slightly less.
