Typhoon Mitag Route Characteristics

Path and Moving Characteristics

Typhoon Mitag (201918) formed at Northwest Pacific洋面, 整体路径呈现典型的NW toward Moving随后转 toward NE的特征. 从9月28日08:00的初始Position (15.4°N, 132.1°E) 至9月30日, Typhoon 稳定 toward NW direction推进, During从132.1°E迅速W移至122.8°E, The latitudeN抬至23.6°N, 显示出较强的 toward W分量. 在接近我国E部coastal 期间, 路径出现明显的N折Trend. 10月1日07:00至14:00期间, Typhoon 中心经度基本维持在122.2°E附近, 纬度由27.6°NN移至28.5°N, 表明此时Moving direction转为近乎正N, 并在ZhejiangZhoushan普陀沈家门附近完成首次Landfall. Landfall后, Typhoon 继续N上并逐渐 toward E偏转, at 10月2日20:10在Korea全罗S道coastal 进行第二次Landfall. 此后路径加速 toward NE direction延伸, 最终 at 10月3日14:00到达 (38.1°N, 131.3°E) , 整个生命史跨越了低纬至高纬广阔海域.

Intensity Analysis

Mitag的Intensity变化经历了快速增强, 巅峰维持及Landfall减弱三个阶段. formed初期为Tropical Storm, 随后在48h内迅速加强, 至9月30日03:00已发展为Typhoon 级别 (33m/s, 975hPa) . 10月1日00:00至07:00, Typhoon 达到peak intensity, 中心最低气压降至960hPa, max wind 达40m/s. 值得注意的是, 在巅峰维持期间, Typhoon Pressure保持稳定, 但随The latitude增加及靠近陆地, 10月1日14:00起Intensity开始减弱, wind speed降至35m/s, 气压回升至970hPa. 首次Landfall后, 受地形摩擦及高纬冷空气影响, intensity 进一步衰减为Severe Tropical Storm, 并在第二次LandfallKorea后持续减弱, 最终消散前维持Tropical Storm量级.
