Path and Moving Characteristics

Typhoon Mindule (201609) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific洋面, 整体路径呈现显著的 toward NW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, The latitude增加约2.3度, During略微W移. 随后, 受大气环流引导, Typhoon 转 toward NE 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 Mindule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, 受陆地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.

Its peak intensity is only Severe Tropical Storm, minimum pressure is 980hPa, and the peak intensity of 2010 Mindule (201005) is equal. however, compared to 2004 Mindule (200407, Severe Typhoon, 940hPa) and 2021 Mindule (202116, Super Typhoon, 920hPa), the 2016 system has a significant gap in both core air pressure and Max Wind, not showing a very strong potential for destruction, belonging to the medium weak Intensity of the same name Typehoon.
