Characteristics of Typhoon Haiyan
Path and Moving Characteristics
Typhoon Haiyan (201330) began its life over the northwestern Pacific at 14:00 on November 3, 2013, at an initial position of 6°N, 156°E. From formation until landfall, it followed a steady northwestward track. Observations show that between November 3 and November 8, its center moved from 6°N, 156°E to 11.4°N, 122.6°E, traveling rapidly across the seas east of the Philippines while guided by the southern side of the subtropical high.
该Typhoon at 11月8日07:00在Philippines莱特岛首次Landfall, 随后Go to S海. Go to S海后, 路径 direction发生微调, 继续 toward WNW, 穿Vietnam海中部海域. 11月11日05:00, 系统在Vietnam广宁 Province进行第二次Landfall. LandfallVietnam后, 受地形摩擦及环境场变化影响, Moving速度显著减缓, 最终 at 11月11日20:00在22.5°N, 108.6°E附近减弱消散. 整体路径跨度大, 涵盖了从低纬热带洋面到中纬land的大部分区域.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
Haiyan的Intensity演变具有“快速增强, 巅峰维持, 逐渐衰减”的典型特征. formed初期仅为Tropical Depression (13m/s, 1004hPa) , 但在短短4天内, 至11月7日02:00已爆发式增强为Super Typhoon, Pressure骤降至920hPa, max wind 达60m/s. 其巅峰状态出现在LandfallPhilippines前夕, minimum pressure 触及惊人的890hPa, max wind 高达78m/s, 显示出极强的能量积累.
Even after crossing the Philippine archipelago on November 8, its core structure remained intact, and it entered the South China Sea as a super typhoon with winds of 55 m/s. It then weakened in stages over the northern South China Sea due to land interaction and the intrusion of dry air, declining from a severe typhoon with winds of 45 m/s to a typhoon, then a severe tropical storm, and finally dissipating as a tropical depression with winds of 15 m/s and a central pressure of 998 hPa.
与历史同名Typhoon 相比, 2013年Haiyan的Intensity具有压倒性优势. 2007年同名Typhoon 巅峰仅为Tropical Storm (994hPa) , 2001年同名Typhoon 巅峰为Typhoon (965hPa) . 相比之下, 2013年Haiyan的最低气压低了至少75hPa, max wind 远超前者, 是三者中唯一达到Super Typhoon级别的系统, 体现了其极端的气象学特征.
