Characteristics of Typhoon Higos
Track and Movement Characteristics
Typhoon Higos (201502) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现先W行, 后NW行, 最终转 toward NE的复杂形态. formed初期 (2月8日02:00至09日02:00) , 系统中心位 at 11.5°N-12.2°N, 157.5°E-156.6°E之间, 主要受引导气流影响 toward W缓慢Moving, 纬度变化微小. 随后, 自2月9日08:00起, 路径逐渐转为NW direction, 经度从156.4°E快速W移至154.0°E, 纬度同步N抬至14.7°N, 显示出明显的加速N上Trend.
During February 11 02:00 to 08:00, Typhoon continued toward NE, but on February 11 14:00 there was an abnormal twist or swing, coordinates from 16.3°N/154.3°E to 15.5°N/152.7°E, latitude S and duration W shifted significantly, then at 20:00 again N raised to 16.3°N. Thro the process, Typhoon did not landfall any land, always active on the ocean surface, until dispersed.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
Higos’ Intensity evolution underwent a typical “quick enhancement – peak maintenance – rapid weakening” process.The initial phase was Tropical Storm (18m/s), enhanced to Severe Tropical Storm in about 30h, and upgraded to Typhoon at 9 February at 14:00.The explosive enhancement occurred between 8:00 and 14:00 on 10 February, and within a short 6h Max Wind jumped from 38m/s to 48m/s, Pressure gradually dropped to 945hPa, reaching the severe typhoon peak.
Its peak intensity (Severe Typhoon, 945hPa) is significantly higher at 2026 (Tropical Storm, 990hPa), 2008 (Tropical Storm, 998hPa) and 2020 (Typhoon, 970hPa) at the same name system. However, compared to 2002's Super TyphoonHigos (minimum air pressure 904hPa), the 2015 version's energy grade is still bigger About. This suggests that although 2015's Higos have stronger explosive power, but not an extreme case in the historical sequence, its intensity performance is superior at most recent years of the same name Typhoon, but not the extreme Severe Typhoon case at the beginning of this century.
