Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Kilo (201517) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现显著的“先W行, 后转 toward NE”的抛物线形态. formed初期 (9月1日至9月3日) , 系统位 at 180°E附近, 主要 toward W, The latitude在22.9°N至24.6°N之间小幅波动. 9月3日20时左右, 系统在177.8°E附近达到最W端Position, 随后路径发生关键性转折, 开始逐渐转为WNW及NW.

Go to September 6th, with the length toward W shrinking to 160°E, the system's N toward segmentation increased significantly, the Moving speed accelerated. during September 9th to 11th, the Typhoon accelerated toward NE direction, the latitude jumped rapidly from 27.8°N to 39°N, the length moved from 156°E to 147.8°E. Thro the process, Kilo was always active on the open ocean surface, without touching any land, no Landfall record, belonging to the typical ocean toward type Typhoon .

Evolution of intensity and peak state

Kilo at the beginning of formed at extremely strong state. observation data showed that on September 1st at 14 pm, its Pressure low to 945hPa, max wind to 55m/s, has Super Typhoon measurement grade. however, this peak stateins Time extremely short, then the system Go to continuous weakening channel. September 2 to 5th, Pressure gradually rises to 970hPa, max wind drops to 35m/s, intensity decreases from Super Typhoon to ordinary Typhoon level.

It is worth noting that between September 6th and September 8th, the system Intensity showed a short stable or even weak rebound, air pressureined at 960-965hPa, wind speedined at 38-40m/s. But from September 9th, as the system toward High latitude Moving and accelerated toward, under the influence of environmental field changes, the intensity again significantly decreased. by September 10th at 14, Pressure rose to 990hPa, max wind dropped to 23m/s, declined to Tropical Storm, until the end of life history.
