Analysis of Typhoon Mindulle's Path Characteristics
Path and Moving Characteristics
Typhoon Mindulle (201609) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific洋面, 整体路径呈现显著的 toward NNW至NE direction的抛物线型Moving特征. formed初期 (8月19日至20日晨) , 系统位 at lat 17.8°至20.1°N, 140.7°至141.8°之间, 主要 toward NW direction缓慢Moving, 纬度增加约2.3度, 经度略微W移. 随后, 受大气环流引导, Typhoon 转 toward NNE direction加速行进. 从8月20日14时至21日20时, 其纬度从21.9°N迅速跃升至31.8°N, Moving速度明显加快, 且路径出现轻微的 toward W摆动后再次 toward E调整.
It is worth noting that when the Typhoon approached the waters of the E area of the island of Japan, the path further turned to NE toward. On August 22, about 11:30, the Typhoon center was located in the coastal Landfall near the Japan Chihuahua County, at lat 35° near. After the Landfall, the system did not dissolve immediately, but continued toward NE direction deep in the high latitude area, until August 23,02 at lat 40.2°N, 141.6° near, completing the final phase of its life cycle.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
在Intensity变化方面, Typhoon Mindulle经历了稳步增强至巅峰维持的过程. 初始阶段为Tropical Storm级, max wind 18m/s, minimum pressure 994hPa. 随着 toward NMoving, 系统逐渐加强, at 8月21日08时升级为Severe Tropical Storm. 此后Intensity持续攀升, 在8月22日02时至14时期间达到巅峰状态, max wind 维持在30m/s, minimum pressure 降至980hPa. LandfallJapan千叶 County时, 其Intensity仍保持在Severe Tropical Storm级别. Landfall后, 受land摩擦及高纬环境因素影响, intensity 略有减弱, wind speed降至25m/s, 气压回升至985hPa.
Compared with previous typhoons of the same name, Mindulle in 2016 was relatively weak. Its peak intensity was severe tropical storm strength, with a minimum central pressure of 980hPa, equal to the peak intensity of the 2010 Mindulle (201005). However, compared with the 2004 Mindulle (200407, severe typhoon, 940hPa) and the 2021 Mindulle (202116, super typhoon, 920hPa), the 2016 system differed considerably in central pressure and maximum wind speed. It did not display the potential for extreme destructive power and was a relatively weak to moderately intense typhoon among those sharing the same name.
