It peaked at Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of 55 m/s (~198 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 945hPa, recorded at 2015-09-01 14:00:00.

2015-09-11 08:00:00 After, Typhoon Kilo gradually weakened and was numbered off on 2015-09-11 08:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 40 track points.

Typhoon Kilo Trail Characteristics

Track Track and Moving Characteristics

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 9月6日后, 随着During快速 toward W缩减至160°E以内, 系统的N toward 分量显著增加, Moving速度加快. 9月9日至11日期间, Typhoon 加速 toward NE direction奔袭, The latitude从27.8°N迅速跃升至39°N, 经度则由156°E移至147.8°E. 整个过程中, Kilo始终在开阔洋面上活动, 未触及任何陆地, 无Landfall记录, 属 at 典型的远洋转 toward 型Typhoon .

Evolution of intensity and peak state

Kilo at the beginning of the formed is at extremely strong state. observation data show that on September 1st at 14 pm, its Pressure low to 945hPa°E, 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 September 5th, Pressure gradually rises back to 970hPa°E, max wind drops to 35m/s, intensity decreases from Super Typhoon to normal Typhoon level.

值得注意的是, 在9月6日至9月8日期间, 系统Intensity出现短暂的企稳甚至微弱反弹, 气压维持在960-965hPa, wind speed保持在38-40m/s. 但自9月9日起, 随着系统 toward 高The latitudeMoving并加速转 toward , 受环境场变化影响, intensity 再次显著下滑. 至9月10日14时, Pressure升至990hPa°E, max wind 降至23m/s, 降级为Tropical Storm, 直至生命史结束. 相较 at 历史同名Typhoon , Kilo起始Intensity极高, 但衰减过程相对连贯, 未出现二次爆发式增强.
