Analysis of Typhoon Leepi

Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Leepi (201815) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现稳定的NW toward MovingTrend, 未发生明显的转 toward 或折返. 从初始 formedPosition (20.2°N, 143.6°E) 至最终消散点 (32.8°N, 131°E) , 系统始终维持 toward NW direction推进的态势. 在Moving速度方面, 初期The latitude变化较缓, 随后逐渐加快, 特别是在8月13日至14日期间, 纬度从25°N迅速N抬至30°N以上, 显示其受引导气流影响显著, 移速较快. 整个生命周期内, 该Typhoon 无Landfall记录, 主要在开阔洋面上活动, 最终在Japan以S洋面减弱并转化为温带气旋或消散. track points分布均匀, 表明其Moving轨迹较为平滑, 未受到复杂地形或剧烈天气系统的干扰.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Leepi's Intensity evolution has the typical characteristics of 'fast enhancement, long maintenance, slow weakening.'The system was formed initially at the Tropical Storm level (20m/s), rapidly intensified into the Severe Tropical Storm within a short 15h (as of August 12th, 14:00) and reached peak intensity, at which time the central minimum air pressure dropped to 982hPa, the maximum wind increased to 28m/s. It is worth noting that Leepiined an extremely long Time in the peak intensity state, from August 12th, 14:00 to August 14th, 08:00, with 42hwind speed stable at 28m/s, air pressureined at 982hPa, showing the stability of its core structure.

Leepi (202412) peaked only for Tropical Storm, minimum pressure 1002hPa; Leepi (201304) peaked also for Tropical Storm, minimum pressure 990hPa.
