Typhoon Talas Route Analysis

Path and Moving Characteristics

Typhoon Talas (201704)'s life history is relatively short, from formed to dispersed about 56h. Observational data show that its overall Moving path presents a stable WN direction. Starting at July 14, 2017 at 20 a.m. in the S-Central waters (16.3°N, 112.8°E) , the system's initial Moving slow, then gradually accelerated toward W advance. Over the entire life cycle, the latitude changes are smaller, from 16.3°N slowly rising to 18.6°N after there is a slight drop, the length continues to move from 112.8°E to 105.0°E. The trajectory slides smoothly, with no noticeable twist toward or stagnation phenomenon, indicating that the guiding flow is more stable and single

Intensity Analysis

The system underwent the complete process of 'formed-enhanced-top-weakened'.The initial phase was Nameless, Pressure1002hPa, max wind 12m/s. Upgraded to Tropical Storm on July 15, 14th, then Intensity steadily increased. on July 16, 16th, with Pressure dropped to 988hPa, wind speed increased to 25m/s, the system intensified into Severe Tropical Storm. The peak state appeared during July 16, 22 to 17th, 01st, at which time the center's minimum air pressure reached 985hPa, max windined at 28m/s. It is worth noting that near Landfall (July 17, 04th) , due to land friction and environmental factors, intensity began to decline rapidly, air pressure rose back to 988hPa, wind

Comparison of historical names

Compared to the 2017 Talas with the previous Typhoon, its Intensity is at a medium level. Compared to the 2022 Talas (top Tropical Storm, 998hPa) and the 2004 Talas (top Tropical Storm, 998hPa), the 2017 Talas reached the Severe Tropical Storm level, the minimum pressure is lower (985hPa vs 998hPa) and the wind force is stronger. However, compared to the 2011 Talas (top Typhoon, 975hPa), the 2017 system's Intensity is significantly weaker, not reaching the Typhoon level.
