Path and Moving Characteristics

2018 No. 1 Typhoon “Bolaven” is a short life history, from formed to dispersed about 54h. Observation data show that the system as a whole presents a stable WNTrend. Initial phase (January 2, 05:00 to 23:00) , Center from 9.4°N, 123.3°E toward WMoving to 9.5°N, 118.3°E, latitude changes are very small, mostly manifested as pure latitude toward plan. Go to January 3, the path appears slightly N lifting signs, from 10.3°N gradually up to 11.5°N, while the length continues to W. During the whole process there is no noticeable turn toward or stagnation, the path is smooth and consistent. by at the system is always at sea activity, no landfall record, finally

Intensity Analysis

In the first half of the history of life, the systemins the Nameless 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 a minimum of 1000hPa, reaching the peak of its life cycle. It is worth noting that during peak intensity maintenance (March 11, 11:00 to January 4, 05:00) the wind speed and air pressure data remain highly stable, without significant fluctuations. From January 4, 08:00, the system begins to weaken, wind speed returns to 16m/s and drops to Nameless, air pressure rises back to 100h2Pa, until finally the spread of wind speed and air pressure decreases to 15m

Comparison of historical names

In contrast, the “Bolaven” Typhoon that appeared several times in history 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.
