Typhoon Soulik trajectory
Track and Movement Characteristics
Typhoon Soulik (201307) formed over the Northwest Pacific, followed a typical west-northwest track before turning northwest and making landfall along China’s southeastern coast. From its initial position (19.2°N, 145.4°E) to its peak at (21.8°N, 133.6°E), the typhoon steadily moved west while its latitude rose slowly. As it approached the waters east of Taiwan, its track turned markedly northwest. Between July 12 and 13, its longitude decreased rapidly from 126.8°E to 121.7°E, indicating accelerated movement toward land.
该Typhoon 先后两次Landfall: 首次 at 7月13日凌晨3时在新N宜兰交界Landfall, 随后穿越Taiwan岛, at 同日16时在连江再次Landfall. Landfall后, 路径继续 toward NW深入内陆, 直至7月14日05时 weakened into Tropical Depression (27.7°N, 116.7°E) 后结束观测. 整个过程中, track points分布密集且连续, 未出现异常的大幅度回旋或停滞现象, 显示出较强的引导气流控制特征.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
Soulik的Intensity演变经历了“快速增强—巅峰维持—逐渐减弱”的典型过程. formed初期仅为Tropical Storm (18m/s, 1000hPa) , 但在短短两天内迅速爆发, 至7月10日20时已发展为Super Typhoon, Pressure降至最低值935hPa, max wind 达55m/s. 值得注意的是, 在7月10日20时至11日14时期间, 其Intensity维持在巅峰状态 (52m/s, 935hPa) , 显示出极强的结构稳定性.
Landfall Taiwan has already weakened into Severe Typhoon (48m/s), Landfall after wind speed further sharply declined, rapidly declining from 45m/s at Landfall to 30m/s and below when leaving Fujian.
Soulik (201819) peaked only for Severe Typhoon (lowest atmospheric pressure 940hPa), while Soulik (202415) only reached Tropical Storm level (lowest atmospheric pressure 998hPa) .
