Characteristics of Typhoon Linfa

Track Track and Moving Features

From the initial Position (15°N, 128.8°E) on July 2nd to the first Landfall on July 5th, the system mainlyins toward WN. After crossing the island Go to S sea, its Moving speed has been adjusted by ground friction and environmental fields, but overallins the trend of toward NW direction.

在S海N部海域, typhoon track出现明显的N折迹象. 数据显示, 从7月6日至7月8日, 中心The latitude由18°N逐步N抬至22.2°N, During则缓慢W移, 表明引导气流发生变化, 推动系统 toward Guangdongcoastal 靠近. 最终, 该系统 at 7月9日12时15分在Guangdong陆丰二次Landfall. 整个生命周期内, track points多达119个, 显示出其Moving过程较为连续且稳定, 未出现剧烈的回旋或停滞现象, 是一条较为标准的W行转NW行Landfall路径.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

“Linfa”的Intensity变化经历了“增强—维持—再增强—减弱”的复杂过程. formed初期为Tropical Storm, 在接近Philippines前增强为Severe Tropical Storm. 值得注意的是, 穿越Philippines陆地后, 其Intensity并未迅速消散, 而是在S海N部重新组织并显著加强. 7月8日20时, Pressure降至最低值970hPa, max wind 达到35m/s, 达到Typhoon 级peak intensity. 随后在逼近Guangdongcoastal 过程中, 受Landfall前夕环境影响, intensity 开始波动下降, Landfall后迅速 weakened into Nameless.

In 2020, the 15th 'Linfa' peak is only Tropical Storm (995hPa), 2009 No. 3 and 2003 No. 4 'Linfa' peak is Severe Tropical Storm (respective 980hPa and 984hPa) .In contrast, 2015 'Linfa' is the only system of the same name that reaches the typhoon level and lowest air pressure at 980hPa, showing its stronger development potential and destructive power in the context of a given year's sea temperature and atmospheric flow.
