Analysis of Typhoon Leepi

Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Leepi (201304)'s life cycle began at Philippines with E surface, overall showing a significant N upward turn toward Trend. In the initial phase, after the system formed from 15.9°N, 126.1°E, main toward NW, the latitude rapidly increased from 15.9°N to 20.4°N, the length variation is relatively small, indicating that it is clearly guided by its sub-tropical high-pressure W side flow. During June 19, 05:00 to 19:00, between the Typhoon center position at 20.4°N to 23.7°N, the Moving direction gradually shifted from NW to N, the length stabilized in the range from 125.3°E to 125.9°E, showing the vertical characteristics of the route.

The key turn toward point appeared in the morning of June 20th. With the latitude breaking 24.8°N, the Typhoon began toward EN direction deviation, the length gradually moving from 125.2°E to 127.3°E. This turn marks the system Go to W wind belt or affected by the high-air slope, the path curvature increased, and eventually toward NE direction moved out of the area of responsibility.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Leepi的Intensity演变具有“快速增强, 平台维持, 缓慢减弱”的典型特征. formed初期为Nameless (16m/s, 998hPa) , 在约12h内迅速 intensified into Tropical Storm, 并 at 6月19日05:00达到peak intensity, 此时Max Wind23m/s, minimum pressure 990hPa. 值得注意的是, 从6月19日05:00至6月20日01:00, 长达20个h内, Typhoon Intensity维持在巅峰状态 (23m/s, 990hPa) , 显示出其在适宜海温环境下结构的稳定性.

From 05:00 on June 20, as the latitude increases and the environment changes, the Typhoon begins to weaken, wind speed drops to 20m/s, and air pressure returns to 994hPa.

The 15th Typehoon Leepi has reached Severe Tropical Storm level, minimum pressure 982hPa, intensity significantly high at 2013 version; while the 12th Typehoon Leepi peak is only Tropical Storm, minimum pressure 1002hPa, intensity weak at 2013 version.
