Path and Moving Characteristics

Typhoon Merbok (201702) has a short life history, from formed to dispersed about 45h. Observational data show that its overall Moving path shows a stable NW toward Trend, with no noticeable path turn or stagnation phenomenon.In the initial phase, Typhoon's center position at lat 17.1° to 17.9°, lng between 116.7° to 116.3°, slowly advances toward NW direction at a speed of about 0.4 latitudes per h. Go to June 12, Moving speed has been slightly accelerated, and the latitude range is greater, rapidly moving from 19.3°N to 2.5°N.

It is worth noting that during the approach to the land, the length of variation gradually decreased. on June 12 at 20 and 23, the center length only shifted from 114.4°E to 114.5°E, indicating its Moving direction more reversible on the eve of Landfall N. Finally at June 12 at 23:00 at Guangdong Shenzhen Peninsula Landfall, Landfall continued toward NE direction deeper into the interior, until June 13 at 11 weakened into Nameless and was numbered off.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Merbok的Intensity演变经历了“增强-巅峰-减弱”的典型过程. formed初期维持Tropical Storm等级 (18m/s, 1000hPa) . 6月11日23时起, Pressure降至996hPa, wind speed增至20m/s. 6月12日11时后, 系统快速加强, 气压骤降至988hPa, wind speed达23m/s; 并 at 14时达到peak intensity, 定为Severe Tropical Storm, 中心最低气压984hPa°E, max wind 25m/s. 巅峰状态维持约6h (14时至20时) .

Landfall time (23:00) , the intensity has fallen back to the Tropical Storm level (23m/s, 990hPa) , showing the pre-Landfall friction effect leads to energy loss.

Compared to the same name, 2017 Merbok's Intensity is weak at 13th Typehoon Merbok (top Typehoon , 965hPa) in 2022, and also slightly weak at 10th Typehoon Merbok (top Severe Tropical Storm, 980hPa) in 2011.
