Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Chaba (201618) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“W行—NW行—转 toward NE”的抛物线形态. formed初期 (9月28日至30日) , 系统位 at 14°N附近, 主要受副热带高压S侧引导气流影响, 保持稳定的W toward Moving, The latitude变化微小. 10月1日起, 路径逐渐转为NW direction, 移速有所加快.

The data showed that during October 4 08:00 to 14:00, the Typhoon center length microshipped from 126.3°E to 126.0°E, the latitude from 27.8°N rapidly increased to 29.4°N, marking the system completed the turn from NW toward NEward toward .

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

From the 28th of September's Tropical Storm (18m/s, 998hPa) to the 2nd of October's Typhoon level, only for about 4 days. Followed by Go to the explosive enhancement period, the 2nd of October at 20:00 has reached the Super Typhoon standard (52m/s, 935hPa) , and at 3rd of October at 14:00 has reached peak intensity, max wind 60m/s, minimum pressure 920hPa. The peak state hasined about 18h (up to 4th of October at 08:00) , after high-latitude environmental factors, the intensity has begun to weaken steadily, until dissipation has been reduced to Severe Tropical Storm.

Its peak air pressure (920hPa) is low at 2022 Chaba (965hPa) and 2010 Chaba (940hPa) , indicating its core Intensity is stronger; but slightly higher at 2004 Chaba (910hPa) . It is worth noting that 2016 Chaba is the only of these four systems that reached the 'Super Typhoon' and peak wind speed up to 60m/s (2004 although the air pressure is lower but does not provide wind speed data comparison, only in terms of the data known, 2016 performed extremely strong) .
