Typhoon Faxai Route Characteristics

Track Track and Moving Features

2014年第3号Typhoon “Faxai”的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific低The latitude海域, 整体路径呈现明显的NE走 toward . formed初期 (2月28日至3月1日) , 系统位 at 8.7°N至9°N, 148.2°E至150.1°E之间, Moving速度缓慢且 direction不定, 曾在149°E附近出现小幅度的EW toward 摆动, 表现为典型的热带扰动整合期特征. 3月2日之后, 随着引导气流的变化, Typhoon 中心逐渐稳定 toward NMoving, During维持在148.6°E至149.8°E区间.

From the coordinate sequence can be seen, the latitude climbed rapidly from 10.2°N to 21.2°N on March 5th, the length also migrated from 149.3°EE to 153.3°E. Thro the life cycle, “Faxai” was always in ocean activity, without touching any land, without landfall records.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

In terms of Intensity changes, “Faxai” underwent a complete formed, enhanced to peak and then weakened process. Initial phase was Tropical Storm level (18m/s, 998hPa) , andined that Intensity during March 2 to 3, air pressure slowly dropped to 990hPa. March 3 at 08:00, the system upgraded to Severe Tropical Storm, wind speed increased to 25m/s. Then Go to Fast Enhancement period, March 4 at 20:00 reached Typhoon level (33m/s, 975hPa) , and at March 5 at 02:00 reached the peak of life history, center minimum air pressure dropped to 970hPa, max wind to 35m/s.

After only about 6 hours, influenced by high latitude environmental factors, the system at 08:00 on March 5th began to weaken, wind speed dropped back to 33m/s, air pressure rose back to 975hPa; to the end of life history on March 5th at 14:00, has been degraded to Severe Tropical Storm (30m/s, 980hPa).

In comparison with the same name Typhoon, the 2014 'Faxai' Intensity is significantly weak at the 2019 No. 15 Typhoon 'Faxai'. in 2019 the same name Typhoon peak intensity to Severe Typhoon level, minimum pressure is 940hPa, while in 2014 'Faxai' is only ordinary Typhoon level, minimum pressure is 970hPa, both of which have a significant difference of 30hPa on the core air pressure, reflecting the impact of different yearly marine thermal conditions and atmospheric environment on the development potential of Typhoon.
