Characteristics of Typhoon Nangka

Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Nangka (201511) 的生命周期长达14天, 整体路径呈现典型的NW toward Moving后转 toward NE的抛物线形态. formed初期 (7月4日至6日) , 系统在低The latitude海域 (约11°N-12°N) 维持W行或WNW, 移速相对缓慢. 7月7日起, 随着纬度N抬至12.7°N, 路径逐渐转为稳定的NW direction, 直指Japan以S洋面.

The key turn toward process occurred between July 13 and 15. Data showed that the system's center length slowly moved from 137.2°E to 136.4°E after stagnation, and then rapidly folded toward NE between July 15 and 16. This 'turn' after acceleration N process, marked a change in the sub-tropical high-pressure guided airflow. Finally, the system at July 16 at 21:50 in the Japanese Quadrant County SEcoastal Landfall, Landfall continued toward NE direction deeper, until July 18 at 37°N to weaken dispersal. The entire pathway spread widely, extending from the 9.7°N near the equator to the mid-latitude of 37°N, showing the typical characteristics of long-distance transocean Typhoon.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

During the reinforcement period from July 4 to July 10, Pressure dropped sharply from 995hPa to the lowest 915hPa, max wind jumped from 18m/s to 62m/s, and developed into Super Typhoon in just six days.

Before the landfall, influenced by the high latitude environment and the terrain, the intensity began to weaken. from July 11, the wind speed dropped to below 50m/s, but until the eve of the landfall (July 16, 20:00) , stillined 38m/s typhoon level intensity, indicating that the landfall still has a stronger destruction.

Its peak air pressure (915hPa) is much lower at 2020 Nangka (988hPa), 2009 Nangka (988hPa) and 2003 Nangka (991hPa) .The other three 'Nangka' peak intensity in history is only Tropical Storm or Severe Tropical Storm level, while 2015 Nangka reached Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of exceeding the historical same name Typhoon at least 33m/s, the actual 'most powerful Nangka'.
