Typhoon Toraji trajectory analysis
Path and Moving Character Analysis
2018年第27号Typhoon “Toraji”的生命史短暂且路径相对简单, 主要活动区域位 at S海中W部海域. 从观测数据来看, 该Typhoon formed at 2018年11月17日17时 (11.4°N, 111.3°E) , 初始阶段 toward SW. 在随后的6h内, 其Center由11.4°NS移至10.6°N, 经度由111.3°EW移至110.9°E, 显示出明显的WSWMovingTrend.
值得注意的是, 自11月17日23时起, Typhoon Moving direction发生显著转折, 转为 toward W至NW. 11月18日02时至08时期间, 纬度维持在11°N附近, 经度持续W移, 表明系统在此期间主要受引导气流影响进行纯纬 toward 或微N的Moving. 11月18日08时, Typhoon 中心位 at (11°N, 110°E) , 随后逐渐 toward N微调并加速W行, 直至11月18日17时减弱消散 at (11.2°N, 108.5°E) . 整个过程中, Typhoon 未出现Landfall记录, 始终在海上活动.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
In terms of intensity, Toraji exhibited typical characteristics of a weak tropical cyclone. It reached peak intensity at 20:00 on November 17, with a minimum central pressure of 1002 hPa and maximum sustained winds of 18 m/s, classified as a tropical storm. For the next nearly 20 hours (from 20:00 on the 17th to 14:00 on the 18th), its intensity remained highly stable, with pressure holding at 1002 hPa and wind speed at 18 m/s, showing no significant signs of strengthening or weakening. Not until the late stage of its lifecycle (17:00 on the 18th) did the system rapidly weaken into a tropical depression, with pressure rising to 1007 hPa and wind speed dropping to 14 m/s, marking the beginning of its dissipation process.
The data show that in 2001 'Toraji' had reached the Super Typhoon level (minimum air pressure 944hPa), in 2024 'Toraji' also reached the Typhoon level (minimum air pressure 965hPa), even the weaker 2013 and 2007 same name Typhoon, its minimum air pressure also reached 980hPa and 988hPa, respectively, at 1002hPa in 2018.
