Typhoon Soudelor Route Characteristics
Track and Movement Characteristics
Typhoon Soudelor (201513)'s lifetime lasted 11 days, and the overall path showed a typical NW toward MovingTrend, with a noticeable N twist toward in the latter period.From the formed early Tropical Storm phase (July 30, 13.6°N, 159.2°E) to August 7, the system mainlyined a stable NW, across W.Pac's vast waters.
关键的转折发生在LandfallTaiwan前后. 8月8日凌晨穿越Taiwan花莲后, 受地形摩擦及大气环流调整影响, Moving direction逐渐由NW转为N. Go to Fujian莆田并深入内陆后, 路径进一步 toward N偏移, 最终 at 8月10日在江W境内 weakened into Tropical Depression并 was numbered off. 整个过程中, track points分布密集, 反映了其在近海及land期间Moving速度的变化及结构的不稳定性.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
Soudelor’s Intensity evolution experienced a typical process of “fast enhancement – peak maintenance – landfall weakening”. The system reached Super Typhoon level on August 3, with the central low pressure dropping to 920hPa, max wind to 60m/s, thenined in Severe Typhoon massive level (48-50m/s) during August 5 to 7 . It is worth noting that when it approached Taiwancoastal on August 7 at 18:00, its Intensity had briefly risen to 50m/s, 935hPa, showing the last explosion before the Landfall. However, under the influence of Taiwan’s central mountain geography, after Taiwan Intensity rapidly declined, the air pressure rose to 955hPa, wind speed dropped to 42m/s; after the second LandFujianfall, the land
Compared to the same name History, 2015 Southelor's Intensity was significantly higher at 2009 Southelor (top only Tropical Storm, 994hPa), and slightly weaker at 2003 Southelor (top Super Typhoon, 927hPa).
