Typhoon Bolaven trajectory analysis
Path and Moving Characteristics
Typhoon BOLAVEN (2018 No. 1) had a relatively short lifespan, lasting about 54 hours from formation to dissipation. Observations showed that the system generally maintained a stable west-northwestward track. During the initial phase, from 05:00 to 23:00 on January 2, its center moved west from 9.4°N, 123.3°E to 9.5°N, 118.3°E, with little change in latitude, indicating almost purely westward translation. After January 3, the track showed a slight northward shift, gradually moving north from 10.3°N to 11.5°N while continuing westward. There was no significant turning or stagnation throughout its journey, and the track was smooth and consistent. The system remained entirely at sea and made no landfall. It finally weakened and dissipated near 12.6°N, 110.4°E at 11:00 on January 4.
Intensity Evolution Analysis
In the first half of the history of life, the systemins the Tropical Depression state, max wind is constant at 15m/s, Pressure remains at 1002hPa. On January 3, 08:00, the system intensified into Tropical Storm, max wind rises to 18m/s, and at several subsequent moments the Pressure is further reduced to the minimum of 1000hPa, reaching the peak of its life cycle. It is worth noting that during peak intensity maintenance (1 March 11:00 to January 04:00) the wind speed and air pressure data remain highly stable, without significant fluctuations. On January 4, 08:00, the system begins to weaken, wind speed returns to 16m/s and drops to Tropical Depression, air pressure rises back to 100h2Pa, eventually spread to 100m/h, wind pressure decreases to
Same-Name Comparison
In contrast, the “Bolaven” Typhoon has a strong development potential: the 15th in 2023 and the 15th “Bolaven” in 2012 reached the Super Typhoon level, the minimum pressure is lower than 900hPa and 935hPa respectively; the 23rd “Bolaven” in 2005 also reached the Typehoon level, the minimum pressure is 975hPa.
