Characteristics of Typhoon Malakas
Track and Movement Characteristics
Typhoon Malakas (201616) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific洋面, 整体路径呈现典型的“NW行—N折—NE转 toward ”的抛物线形态. formed初期 (9月13日) , 系统位 at 13.6°N, 139.5°E附近, 以Tropical StormIntensity toward NW direction稳定Moving. 随着纬度升高, 其经度持续W进, 至9月16日抵达123°E附近海域时, Moving direction逐渐由NW转为正N, 并在Taiwan以E洋面出现短暂的近乎停滞或缓慢N移现象 (9月17日06:00至22:00, 经度仅从123.1°E微调至122.7°E) . 这一阶段可视为路径的关键转折点. 随后, 受高空引导气流影响, Typhoon at 9月18日起显著加速 toward NE, 穿越E海E部海域, 最终 at 9月19日深夜在Japan九州岛鹿儿岛 CountyLandfall. Landfall后, 系统继续 toward NE direction深入Japan本州岛S部及太平洋一侧, 直至9月20日傍晚在34.8°N, 137°E附近减弱消散. 整个路径跨度大, 涵盖了从低纬热带海域到高纬温带海域的完整过程.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
In terms of Intensity changes, Malakas experienced rapid enhancement, peak maintenance and three phases of weakening after Landfall. Starting from the 18m/sTropical Storm on September 13, the system rapidly strengthened within three days, until September 15 has reached the Severe Typhoon level (42m/s) . On September 17, 06:00, the Typhoon reached the peak, the center lowest air pressure dropped to 940hPa, max wind to 50m/s, andined about 16h in this high Intensity state (until September 17, 14:00 the air pressure was still 940hPa) . It is worth noting that after a brief weakening on September 18, 1907, its Intensity rebounded to 48m/s (945hPa), showing extremely strong life, until Landfall remained Severe Typhoon level
Compared to the previous typhoon, the peak intensity of Malakas in 2016 was equal to that of Malakas (202201) in 2022, both of which had a minimum air pressure of 940hPa, and both reached the Severe Typhoon level; its intensity was significantly higher at Malakas in 2010 (minimum air pressure of 950hPa) and Malakas in 2004 (only for Tropical Storm, minimum pressure of 995hPa).
