Track Track and Moving Features

The life story of the 22nd Typhoon “Saola” at Northwest Pacific Ocean in 2017, the overall path presents the typical NW toward turn NE toward pallet line form. From the formed early October 24th bits at 141.9°E near, the system is stable toward NW, the latitude gradually increases from 12.7°N to 26.3°N, the length continues to W shift up to 128.2°E near.

The key turn toward point appeared before 28 October. data showed that on 28 October at 11:00 am the center position at 26.3°N, 128.3°E, then on 20:00 pm to 28.4°N, 129.3°E, the length began toward E to reconsider. on 29 October at 05:00, the center moved further to 30.7°N, 131.1°E, marking the system completed the turn toward and accelerated toward NE, and finally at 29 October at 17:00 am reached 33.2°N, 138°E. Thro the course, the Typhoon landfalled no land, and was always active at sea, as the latitude increased gradually away from the continental coastline.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

In terms of Intensity change, “Saola” underwent a slow increase to the peak after rapid weakening. The initial phase was Tropical Storm level (18m/s),ining 23m/s wind speed and 990hPa atmospheric pressure between October 25th and 26th, the intensity was relatively stable. From October 27th, the system began to significantly strengthen, wind speed from 23m/s to 25m/s, air pressure dropped to 980hPa, upgraded to Severe Tropical Storm. The peak state appeared on October 28th at 20:00, at which time near the center Max Wind reached 33m/s, minimum pressure was 975hPa, reaching the Typehoon level. However, the peakined Time extremely short, turn toward NE affected by environmental factors, intensity quickly returned, until

Its peak air pressure is 975hPa much higher at the 2023 “Saola” 915hPa (Super Typhoon), and also high at the 2012 and 2005 “Saola” 950hPa (both Severe Typhoon).
