Typhoon Prapiroon, international code 201221, international name Prapiroon, 2012 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 2012-10-07 20:00:00, ended: 2012-10-18 02:00:00. Peak intensity: Severe Typhoon, minimum central pressure: 940 hPa, max wind: 48m/s.
Typhoon Prapiroon at 2012-10-07 20:00:00 at 17.8°N, 136.6°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Tropical Storm.
It peaked at Severe Typhoon intensity with max winds of 48 m/s (~173 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 940hPa, recorded at 2012-10-12 08:00:00.
Typhoon Prapiroon gradually weakened and was numbered off on 2012-10-18 02:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 76 track points.
Typhoon Prapiroon (201221) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“W行—N折—NE转 toward ”的抛物线形态. formed初期 (10月7日至10日) , 系统稳定 toward WMoving, The latitude基本维持在17.8°N至18.8°N之间, During从136.6°E快速W移至129.7°E. 10月11日至12日期间, 路径出现轻微N翘并伴随经度回撤 (从128.4°E移至128.8°E) , 显示引导气流发生微妙变化. 随后, Typhoon Go to 转 toward 阶段, 自10月13日起持续 toward NE, 直至10月18日消散 at 26.2°N, 130.4°E附近. 全生命周期长达10天以上, 途经76 track points, 但始终在海上活动, 无Landfall记录, 属 at 典型的远洋型Typhoon .
The Typhoon underwent a complete “enhanced – peak – weakening” process. Initially as Tropical Storm (18m/s), rapidly strengthened in the W line, upgraded to Typhoon in the morning of October 10th, that evening to reach Severe Typhoon level. On October 12th, at 11 a.m., Prapiroon reached the peak of life history, the center lowest air pressure dropped to 940hPa, max wind to 48m/s,ining Severe Typhoon Intensity. After the peak period, with the path N fall, environmental conditions shifted, intensity began to fluctuate down. During October 13th to 15th, intensity decreased significantly between Typhoon and Severe Typhoon (wind speed-42m/s, air pressure 950-955h
It peaked at Severe Typhoon level (940hPa, 48m/s) , far beyond the typhoon level peak of 2018 (201807) (970hPa) . Although 2000 Prapiroon (200012) lacks specific air pressure data, but only in terms of existing data, 2012 Prapiroon showed a deeper corrosion core and a stronger wind force structure, being one of the strongest 'Prapiroon' in recent decades.
