Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Namtheum (201612)'s life history at Northwest Pacific ocean surface, the overall path presents a typical 'NW-toward N-Landfall' shape. From the initial Position (23.9°N, 127.6°E) on September 1, 08:00 to 2:00 on September 2, Typhoon's center mainly toward NEward, length rapidly advanced from 127.6°E to 130.7°E, latitude synchronous N rising to 25.7°N, showing a stable transfer rate influenced by sub-tropical high-pressure guided airflow.

It is worth noting that between 8:00 on 2 September and 8:00 on 4 September, the typhoon track showed significant latitude toward stagnation and microscopic oscillation. the length was narrow between 129.5°E and 130.8°E, while the latitude continued from 26.5°NN to 31.5°N. This phase path was almost vertical toward N, indicating a shift in the guiding flow, and the Typhoon Go to turn toward. on 5 September, 00:00, the Typhoon center in Nagasaki County Nagasaki County Landfall, then continued toward NE direction deep in the high latitude sea area, eventually at 05:00 on 5 September weakened into Tropical Storm and moved out of the main monitoring area.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Namtheum的Intensity变化经历了“快速增强—巅峰维持—迅速衰减”三个典型阶段. formed初期仅为Tropical Storm (18m/s) , 但在24h内迅速加强, at 9月1日20:00达到Typhoon 级 (33m/s) . 9月2日14:00, 其Intensity达到巅峰, 确认为Severe Typhoon, 中心最低气压降至945hPa, max wind 达48m/s. 此后约12h内, Typhoon 维持在peak intensity, 直至9月3日08:00开始显著减弱, 气压回升至960hPa, wind speed降至40m/s. 随着The latitude升高及Landfall影响, 9月4日14:00其Intensity回落至Tropical Storm级别 (23m/s) , 并在Landfall前后进一步减弱.

The peak intensity of 2021 Namtheum (202119) and 2010 Namtheum (201008) is only Tropical Storm, the minimum pressure is 995hPa, weak at 2016 Namtheum's Severe Typhoon level. however, 2016 Namtheum's peak air pressure (945hPa) is equal to 2004 Namtheum (200410) and both reach Severe Typhoon level, showing the potential climate background of formed high IntensityTyphoon in the sequence of names, but 2016 cases decline faster in the post-life history, notining high intensity for a long time like some deep-sea Typhoon.
