Typhoon Dolphin Route Characteristics

Path and Moving Characteristics

From the initial observation point (24.9°N, 134.4°E) to the end point (33.9°N, 142.9°E), the system alwaysins toward High latitude ocean advancement.In the early Moving period (September 21, 11 to 22, 08 am), the Typhoon center length varies slightly, roaming mainly between 134.4°E and 135.2°E, with latitude rising from 24.9°NN to 26.8°N, showing the characteristics of slow N shift and slightly fracturing E.

Go to 9月22日下午后, Moving速度明显加快, direction转为明确的NE toward . 特别是在9月23日14时之后, During跨度显著增大, 从137.0°E迅速E移至142.9°E, 同时The latitude持续N推至33.9°N. 这种经纬度的同步快速变化表明, 该系统后期受W风带引导气流影响显著, 移速加快并逐渐远离大陆coastal 区域, 最终在远洋海域减弱消散.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

在Intensity方面, “Dolphin”经历了一个典型的“增强-维持-减弱”过程. formed初期为Tropical Storm级 (20m/s, 998hPa) , 随后气压持续下降, wind speed逐步提升. 9月22日17时, 系统达到peak intensity, 认定为Severe Tropical Storm, 中心最低气压降至980hPa, max wind 达28m/s. 此后直至9月23日08时, Typhoon 在约12h内维持这一peak intensity, 气压稳定在980hPa, wind speed保持28m/s, 表现出较强的结构稳定性. 9月23日14时起, 随着系统N上Go to 更高The latitude, intensity 开始缓慢衰减, 气压回升至985hPa, wind speed降至25m/s, 并在生命末期进一步 weakened into Tropical Storm (23m/s, 990hPa) .

Its peak intensity is only Severe Tropical Storm, minimum pressure is 980hPa. In comparison, the 2015 No. 7 'Dolphin' has developed to Super Typhoon, minimum pressure is 925hPa; the 2026 No. 13 'Dolphin' also reached Severe Typhoon level, minimum pressure is 945hPa; even the weaker 2008 No. 22 'Dolphin', its peak intensity is also Typhoon (970hPa) .
