Track Track and Moving Features

2020年第3号Typhoon “Sinlaku”的生命史相对短暂, 主要Active at 2020年7月31日至8月2日期间. 从路径采样数据来看, 该Typhoon formed初期位 at S海N部海域 (16.9°N, 113.4°E) , 整体呈现稳定的WNWTrend. 在7月31日14:00至8月1日08:00期间, Typhoon 中心The latitude由16.9°N缓慢N抬至17.8°N, During由113.4°EW移至111.0°E, Moving速度较为平缓.

Go to August 1, the Moving path appears fine adjustment. August 1, 14:00 to 16:00, the latitude remains at 18.1°N unchanged, but the length rapidly from 110.3°EW to 109.0°E, showing a significant pure W toward Moving process. then, the path turns to NW direction, until August 2, 14:00 to reach 19.7°N, 105.9°E near. Thro the process, the Typhoon does not show a noticeable turn toward or spin, the path is smoother, and finally at August 2, 14:40 in the coastal landfall near Vietnam.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

In terms of Intensity changes, “Sinlaku” showed the characteristics of “pre-depressed post-stability.”The initial phase was Nameless, Pressure 998hPa, max wind 15m/s. It is worth noting that on August 1 at 8:00, although Max Wind remained at 15m/s, but Pressure has fallen to a minimum of 992hPa. Then on August 1 at 14:00, the system was officially intensified into Tropical Storm, the max wind increased to 18m/s, and since then until the end of life history hasined the Intensity level and the minimum air pressure of 992hPa, without further enhancement or weakening, showing the high stability of the mature Intensity.

Its peak intensity is only Tropical Storm, minimum pressure is 992hPa. In comparison, the same name Typhoon in 2002, 2008 and 2026 has reached the Super Typhoon level, minimum pressure is 933hPa, 935hPa and 900hPa respectively; even the 2014 'Sinlaku', its peak has reached the Severe Tropical Storm level (980hPa) .
