Path and Moving Characteristics

Typhoon Meranti (201614) 的生命史始 at 2016年9月10日14时的Northwest Pacific洋面, 初始Position为14.9°N, 139.1°E. 在 formed初期至发展中期, 系统整体呈现稳定的NW toward MovingTrend. 从坐标序列分析, 其During从139.1°E快速W移至124.2°E, The latitude由14.9°NN抬至20.1°N, 显示出强劲的W行分量. 在接近Taiwan海峡及Fujiancoastal 期间, 路径略微 toward N偏转, 最终 at 2016年9月15日03:05在FujianXiamen翔安区Landfall. Landfall后, Typhoon 继续 toward NW direction深入内陆, 随后转 toward NE, 最终 at 9月16日23时在33.8°N, 122.3°E附近减弱消散. 整个路径轨迹清晰, 未出现明显的打转或停滞现象, Moving速度较快, 从 formed到消散历时约6天半.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Meranti's Intensity evolution has the typical characteristics of "explosive enhancement" and "rapid decline". the system rapidly strengthened during September 10 to 12, Pressure gradually dropped from 998hPa to 970hPa, wind speed increased from 18m/s to 35m/s. Especially notably, September 12 at 23am to September 13th at 14h, within its short 15h by Super Typhoon (65m/s, 910hPa) further developed to peak state, to reach the minimum air pressure 900hPa, Max Wind70m/s Super Typhoon level, andined the peak intensity until September 14.04.

In 2010 Meranti peaked only at Typhoon level (minimum air pressure 975hPa), in 2004 Meranti peaked also at Typhoon level (minimum air pressure 970hPa) . and in 2016 Meranti not only reached Super Typhoon level, its minimum air pressure is lower than 900hPa, much lower at the first two records, showing its extreme Intensity characteristics as one of the world's most severe Typhoon of the year.
