Typhoon Muifa trajectory analysis
Path Moving and Structural Characteristics
The 2017 No. 1 typhoon, Muifa, had a relatively short lifetime, with observational data covering the period from 08:00 on April 26 to 17:00 on April 27, 2017. Analysis of the track coordinates shows that the typhoon generally moved toward WNW. During its initial stage, from 08:00 to 20:00 on April 26, its center moved slowly northward from 13.4°N to 13.8°N and from 136.1°EW to 134.4°E. Its movement was relatively straight, mainly driven westward by the steering flow.
It is worth noting that between April 26 20 and April 27 08 the duration of the center of the Typhoon remained between 134.3°E and 134.4°E, almost stagnant, while the latitude rose only slightly to 14.7°N, showing obvious slowing characteristics, which may indicate that the surrounding atmospheric flow situation was weaker or there was a saddle field structure.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
Data from all 9 track points show that its Max Wind is constant at 18m/s, the central minimum air pressure remains at 998hPa, and the intensity level remains at Tropical Storm.
