Typhoon Vongfong trajectory
Path and Moving Characteristics
Typhoon Vongfong (201419) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“W行—转 toward NE”的抛物线形态. formed初期 (10月3日至6日) , 系统稳定 toward NW, 纬度从8.9°N迅速N抬至15.2°N, 经度由157.5°EW进至143.3°E, 显示其受副热带高压S侧引导气流影响显著. 10月7日后, 随着系统接近Japan以S洋面, Moving路径逐渐转为N, 并在10月9日至10日期间出现明显的减速停滞特征, 经度变化极小 (130.2°E至129.3°E) , 表明此时引导气流微弱或处 at 鞍形场中. 10月11日起, Typhoon 加速 toward NE, 最终 at 10月13日07:30在Japan九州岛枕崎 CityLandfall, 随后移入Japan海并减弱消散. 整个生命周期长达10天, track points多达65个, 显示出其长寿命及复杂的环流调整过程.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
Vongfong's intensity evolution underwent two distinct phases: rapid explosive intensification and gradual weakening. Starting as a tropical storm (18 m/s, 998 hPa) on October 3, the system strengthened rapidly within five days, reaching its peak at 14:00 on October 8 with a minimum central pressure of 900 hPa and maximum sustained winds of 68 m/s, classified as a super typhoon. Notably, during its peak period (October 8–10), although the pressure slightly rose to 935 hPa, the system maintained super typhoon or severe typhoon status for an extended period, demonstrating exceptional core structural stability. Before landfall, influenced by high-latitude cold air and decreasing sea surface temperatures, its intensity steadily declined, weakening to a severe tropical storm (28 m/s, 975 hPa) at landfall.
Vongfong’s intensity in 2014 has an overwhelming advantage over previously named Typhoon.Vongfong’s peak in 2020 is only Severe Typhoon (950hPa), and in 2002 and 2008 the same name Typhoon even reached Severe Tropical Storm and Tropical Storm levels respectively.Vongfong’s lowest air pressure in 2014 is 50hPa lower than the same in 2020, and wind speed is 20m/s higher, the strongest in the same name cycle in two decades, reflecting the positive contribution of the extreme sea temperature in the autumn of the year to the development of Typhoon.
