2013-10-03 02:00:00 After, Typhoon Sepat gradually weakened and was numbered off on 2013-10-03 02:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 12 track points.

Typhoon Sepat Route Characteristics

Track Track and Moving Features

The life history of the 22nd Typhoon “Sepat” in 2013 is short, from formed to dispersed about 66h. Its path overall presents a significant NW toward toward Palladium line characteristics of NE toward, the main activity area at W Pacific open ocean surface, with no Landfall record. in the initial phase (September 30, 08.00 to October 1, 02.00) , the Typhoon center is 26.5°N, 146.9°E toward NW direction stable Moving, latitude increases about 2.1 degrees, length W moves about 4.6 degrees, and the Moving speed is relatively uniform.

During this period, the Typhoon center length changes very slightly (only from 141.7°E to 141.4°E), while the latitude continues to N, marking the Moving direction from NW to N, then rapidly toward NE. On October 1, 14th, the Typhoon accelerates toward NE, the length starts to significantly E. By the end of life (October 3, 02), the Center has reached 40.2°N, 145.9°E, Go to High latitude sea area and gradually weakened dispersion.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

In terms of intensity, “Sepat” alwaysined at the Tropical Storm level, not developed to Severe Tropical Storm or Typhoon level. Its Intensity evolution underwent a brief enhancement afterward trend at stability then weakening process. Initial air pressure was 1000hPa, wind speed 18m/s; peaked at 14 on October 1st, with minimum pressure dropped to 990hPa, max wind increased to 23m/s. Since then, the air pressure rose back to 994hPa and remained stable, wind speed dropped back to 20m/s, until dissipation further weakened to 18m/s, 996hPa.

Compared to the previous typhoon, the 2013 “Sepat” Intensity is at a medium downward level. Compared to the 2007 9th typhoon “Sepat” (top Super Typhoon, minimum pressure 910hPa) , its Intensity gap is huge, only for the latter weak disturbance form. Compared to the 2001 13th typhoon “Sepat” (lowest air pressure 991hPa), the top air pressure is extremely close, but the 2013 version of the wind speed is slightly lower.
