Characteristics of Typhoon Lupit

Track Characteristics and Moving Trends

2016 No. 2 Typhoon “Lupit” showed a stable toward NETrend during the observation period (July 24, 2016 02:00 to July 25, 2016 02:00). according to the data provided by the 5 path sampling points, the Typhoon center latitude moved from 28.5°N continuously N to 37.3°N, length moved from 156.8°EE to 159.5°E after slightly W twisted to 159°E. The overall path was presented as a typical N upward trajectory before a temperate-band rotation, with no noticeable Landfall behavior.

In terms of Moving speed, the first four Time points (02:00 to 20:00) have a larger latitude range, showing its toward N propulsion speed faster; while in the last 6h (20:00 to 02:00 the next day) , the length has a small retreat (from 159.5°E to 159°E) , suggesting that the system may be influenced by the W wind belt guided airflow at higher latitudes, Moving direction slightly adjusted, but the overall stillins toward NE's motion position.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

At Intensity variation, the 2016 Typhoon “Lupit” showed significant stability. Thro the observation cycle, its central minimum air pressure wasined at 998hPa, and the max wind remained at 18m/s, stable at Tropical Storm. The data showed no signs of strengthening or weakening, indicating that the system was at energy balance during this period, neither received sufficient ocean temperature support to further enhance, nor rapidly declined due to vertical wind shifts or dry air invasions.

In comparison with the same name History, the 2016 'Lupit' Intensity is clearly weak. in 2003 the 21st Typhoon 'Lupit' had reached the Super Typhoon level, the minimum pressure is lower than 892hPa, showing extremely strong destruction; in 2021 the 9th Typhoon 'Lupit' although the Tropical Storm level, but its lowest air pressure is 985hPa, slightly strong at 2016 case.
