Path and Moving Characteristics

2018年第20号Typhoon “Cimaron” at 8月18日20时在Northwest Pacific洋面 formed, 初始Position位 at 14.4°N, 153.3°E. 在生命史初期, 该系统主要呈现稳定的NW toward MovingTrend. 从8月18日至8月21日期间, Typhoon 中心The latitude由14.4°N逐步N抬至19.7°N, During由153.3°EW移至145.6°E, Moving路径相对平直. 随着系统 toward N推进并逐渐接近中纬度W风带, 其Moving direction发生显著调整. 8月21日17时后, Typhoon 转 toward NE direction加速Moving, 经度从143.3°E快速E移, 表明其受到副热带高压边缘气流及W风槽的total 同引导. 最终, 该系统 at 8月23日00时在Japan四国岛Landfall, 随后继续 toward NE direction深入高纬度海域, 直至8月24日14时在40.6°N, 137.7°E weakened into Tropical Storm并结束观测. 整体路径呈现出典型的“NW行转NE行”的抛物线型特征, 转 toward 点大致位 at 21.6°N, 143.3°E附近.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

“Cimaron”经历了快速增强并维持高Intensity平台期的过程. formed初期为Tropical Storm (18m/s, 998hPa) , 随后Intensity稳步上升. 8月21日17时, 中心wind speed增至40m/s, 升级为Typhoon 级; 仅12h后, 即8月22日05时, 达到peak intensity, 中心Max Wind48m/s, minimum pressure 945hPa, 定性为Severe Typhoon. 值得注意的是, 该Typhoon 在peak intensity维持了较长Time, 从8月22日05时至8月23日05时, 连续三个观测时次保持48m/s的wind speed和945hPa的气压, 显示出极强的结构稳定性. LandfallJapan四国岛后, 受地形摩擦及高纬冷海水影响, intensity 迅速衰减, 至8月24日14时wind speed降至20m/s.

2024 (202416) and 2013 (201308) Cimaronpeak intensity is only Tropical Storm, minimum pressure is 1002hPa and 990hPa respectively; 2001 (200101) although reached Severe Tropical Storm level, but the minimum air pressure is 984hPa.
