Characteristics of Moving Path

The life history of the 11th Typhoon “Tiii” in 2016 is shorter, with the observation data coverage period from August 20, 2016 at 08.00 to 21.00 am. From the space trajectory, the Typhoon as a whole presents toward NW, then turns toward NE. In the initial phase, the Typhoon center latitude from 32.6°N rapidly increased to 36.3°N, the length moved from 147.6°EW to 143.4°E, indicating that it was influenced by the guided airflow,ining a stable NW toward shift.

During the 20th to 21st, the Typhoon center continued toward N to 37.8°N, the length further W shifted to 142.5°E, at this time to the most W end of the path. Then, the path appeared a noticeable turn. After 21st, the Typhoon center length began toward E reflow (from 142.5°E to 143.1°E, eventually stable near 143°E), while the latitude continued to N to 40.6°N. This coordinate change characteristic shows that “Tiii” in Japan has completed a significant turn toward process, from NW to NE, in line with the typical influence of the medium-latitude W wind belt system on the tropical cyclone.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

In terms of Intensity, the 2016 “Tiii” showed extremely high stability. During the entire observation period, its central minimum air pressure was constant at 995hPa, max windined at 18m/s, the intensity level alwaysined at the Tropical Storm level.

In history, the 7th Typhoon “Tiii” has reached Severe Typhoon level, the minimum pressure is lower than 955hPa; in 2021 the 18th Typhoon “Tiii” has also reached Typhoon level, the minimum pressure is 968hPa. Even the 9th Typhoon “Tiii” of 2004, the same as the Tropical Storm level, its minimum air pressure is 990hPa, slightly lower at 2016 case.
