Analysis of Typhoon Son-Tinh's track characteristics
Track and Movement Characteristics
Typhoon Son-tinh (201223) 的生命史始 at Philippines以E洋面, 整体路径呈现典型的NW toward MovingTrend, 横跨S海N部. 从初始坐标 (8.9°N, 127.5°E) 至最终消散点 (21.5°N, 107.7°E) , 其纬度持续N抬, 经度稳定W进. 路径初期, 系统穿越Philippines群岛, at 10月24日18:00在萨马岛S部coastal 完成首次Landfall. Go to S海后, Typhoon 保持稳定的WNW, 未出现显著的路径转折或停滞现象. 值得注意的是, 系统在接近Vietnamcoastal 时, Moving速度似乎有所调整, 最终 at 10月28日23:30在VietnamS定实施第二次Landfall. 整个生命周期内, track points密集分布, 显示出Typhoon 结构在大部分Time内维持较好, 直至LandfallVietnam后受地形摩擦及环境场影响, 路径末端略微 toward E偏转并迅速减弱.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
Son-tinh's Intensity evolution has undergone the complete process of 'formed-enhanced-top-weakened'.The initial phase is Tropical Storm (18m/s) , Intensity fluctuations during the crossing of the Philippines are small,ined at about 23m/s. Go to S after the sea, environmental conditions are beneficial at its development, since October 26 rapidly strengthened, from Severe Tropical Storm upgraded to Typhoon , and at October 27 at 23:00 reached the peak, at which time the central minimum air pressure dropped to 950hPa, max wind to 45m/s, rated as Severe Typhoon.
Compared to the same name History, Son-tinh's 2012 Intensity was significantly higher at the following year's system of the same name. 2018 Son-tinh (201809) peaked only for Tropical Storm, minimum pressure 983hPa; 2024 Son-tinh (202406) peaked also for Tropical Storm, minimum pressure 998hPa.
