Track Track and Moving Features

2012年第20号Typhoon “Kaemi”的生命史始 at S海E部海域, 整体路径呈现显著的W行Trend, 伴随轻微的The latitude波动. formed初期 (10月1日14时) , 系统位 at 17°N, 115°E附近, 随后 toward NW direction短暂Moving. 值得注意的是, 在10月2日凌晨至上午期间, Typhoon 中心在17.2°N, 114.8°E至16.5°N, 115.1°E之间出现短暂的停滞与回旋迹象, During变化极小, 显示当时引导气流较弱或存在多系统相互作用.

From the coordinate sequence can be seen, its latitude from 15.7°N gradually S pressed to 13.7°N, and its length from 116.1°E continued to 111.8°E. This Sw toward Moving trajectory indicates that the sub-tropical high-voltage backbone Position may be N or E retreat, resulting in the Typhoon being mainly driven by E airflow.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

In terms of intensity, “Kaemi” is a typical weak-development tropical cyclone. Initial phase is Nameless (15m/s, 1002hPa) , Go to S rapidly intensified into Tropical Storm. On October 3, at 20 p.m., the system reached peak intensity at 15.5°N, 117.7°E, defined as Severe Tropical Storm, the center lowest air pressure dropped to 985hPa, max wind 25m/s. However, the peak stateined the Time polar, only about 9h after it began to weaken.

In 2024, the 3rd Typehoon “Kaemi” had developed into the top air pressure 925hPa Super Typhoon, both of which are intensity difference huge; even with the 2018 6th Typehoon “Kaemi” (top Tropical Storm, 990hPa) compared with the 2012 version although the peak is slightly higher (985hPa vs 990hPa), but the overall measurement class still belongs to the same category, all belongs to the low-intensity tropical cycling system.
