Typhoon Chanthu trajectory
Track and Movement Characteristics
Typhoon Chanthu, the 7th typhoon of 2016, began its life over the Northwest Pacific and generally maintained a stable trend toward the north-northwest and northeast. From its initial position at 02:00 on August 14 (19.8°N, 141.7°E) to 02:00 on August 15, the typhoon center mainly moved northwest, with its latitude rising rapidly from 19.8°N to 26°N and its longitude advancing westward to around 144.7°E. During this period, the system maintained tropical storm intensity and moved relatively quickly.
It is worth noting that during 02:00 to 08:00 on August 15, the length remained at 144.7°E unchanged, marking a significant shift in the Moving direction, by NW toward toward N. Then, from 14:00 on August 15, the typhoon track gradually toward E deviation, the length value began to decrease after turning to increase (144.2°E -> 141.1°E -> 143.4°E) , showing its high latitude area influenced by the wind belt guided gas flow, completed a typical linear shift toward process.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
在Intensity变化方面, “Chanthu”表现出“快速增强后长期维持”的特征. 初始阶段Pressure为998hPa, max wind 18m/s. 经过约24h的加强, at 8月15日02:00达到peak intensity, 此时中心最低气压降至988hPa, max wind 增至23m/s, 等级确认为Tropical Storm. 此后直至消散, 其Intensity保持高度稳定, Pressure维持在988-990hPa之间, max wind 在20-23m/s区间波动, 未出现剧烈衰减或二次增强.
Data show that in 2021 'Chanthu' peak intensity to Super Typhoon level, minimum pressure low to 905hPa; in 2010 'Chanthu' is Typhoon level, minimum pressure 970hPa; even in 2004 'Chanthu', its peak intensity also reach Severe Tropical Storm level (980hPa) .
