Typhoon Kujira trajectory analysis
Track and Movement Characteristics
The life history of the 8th Typhoon “Kujira” in 2015 at S Sea Central waters, the overall path presents the typical NW toward MovingTrend, and is accompanied by two Landfall processes. From June 21, 08 at the initial Position (16.2°N, 111.5°E) to June 2502 dispersed, its Moving trajectory is relatively stable, with no dramatic large-scale turn toward.
该Typhoon at 6月22日18:50在Hainan万宁完成首次Landfall. Landfall后, 系统并未迅速消散, 而是穿越Hainan岛Go to N部湾, 维持Tropical Storm级Intensity继续 toward NW. 随后, at 6月24日11:40在Vietnam海防 City进行第二次Landfall. 整个路径过程中, 经纬度变化显示其移速较为均匀, 特别是在穿越land期间, 纬度从18.8°N持续上升至20.5°N左右, 经度则从110.9°EW移至106.8°E, 显示出受引导气流影响显著, 路径预测难度相对较低.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
在Intensity变化方面, “Kujira”呈现出“快速增强—巅峰维持—Landfall减弱”的特征. formed初期为Tropical Storm (18m/s, 998hPa) , 在短短14h内迅速加强, 至6月21日22时气压降至最低值982hPa, wind speed达到23m/s. 6月22日04时至16时, Typhoon 维持在Severe Tropical Storm intensity with max winds of 稳定在25m/s, minimum pressure 保持982hPa, 这是其生命史中的巅峰状态. 值得注意的是, 在6月22日18:50LandfallHainan万宁前, 其Intensity并未明显衰减, 显示出较强的近岸维持能力.
After the first Landfall, the intensity rapidly dropped back to the Tropical Storm level (20m/s, 988hPa), and during the subsequent crossing of the N Bay and the second Landfall Vietnam, the intensity fluctuations were smaller, basicallyined between 18-20m/s, until June 25 at 02 am weakened into Tropical Depression (16m/s, 995hPa) after was numbered off.
Its peak intensity is only Severe Tropical Storm, minimum pressure 982hPa. In comparison, 2009's 1st Typhoon 'Kujira' peaked to Typhoon level (960hPa), and 2003's 2nd Typhoon 'Kujira' reached Super Typhoon level (904hPa).
