Characteristics of Typhoon Linfa
Track and Movement Characteristics
Typhoon Linfa (2020 No. 15) had a short lifecycle, with observational data covering 11:00 on October 10 to 17:00 on October 11, 2020. Analysis of the track coordinates shows that the typhoon maintained a stable WNW trend overall. During the initial phase (11:00–23:00 on October 10), the system’s center moved slowly north from 13.6°N to 14.5°N and from 114.4°EW to 111.8°E at a relatively steady speed. After the early hours of October 11, its direction shifted slightly and remained predominantly westward with a slight northward component until it reached 15.3°N, 107.8°E at 17:00 on October 11. Throughout the observation period, the typhoon’s track was smooth, with no significant directional shifts or stagnation. It made no landfall and remained at sea throughout.
Evolution of intensity
“Linfa”的Intensity变化经历了“维持-增强-巅峰-减弱”的典型过程. 在10月10日11时至23时的9h内, 系统维持Tropical Depression等级, max wind 恒定为15m/s, Pressure保持在1002hPa. 10月11日02时, 系统 intensified into Tropical Storm, wind speed提升至18m/s, 气压降至998hPa. 随后Intensity继续攀升, at 10月11日06时达到巅峰状态, 此时Max Wind为20m/s, minimum central pressure 为995hPa. peak intensity维持了约9个h (至11日11时) , 期间wind speed和气压数值保持稳定. 11日14时起, 系统开始减弱, wind speed回落至18m/s, 气压回升至998hPa; 至17时观测结束时, 已进一步 weakened into Tropical Depression, wind speed降回15m/s, 气压升至1000hPa.
Comparison of Typhoon
In contrast, 2015 No. 10 Typhoon “Linfa” peaked at Typhoon level, minimum pressure low to 970hPa, significantly strong at 2020 individuals; 2009 No. 3 and 2003 No. 4 “Linfa” peak both Severe Tropical Storm level, minimum pressure respectively 980hPa and 984hPa, and strong at 2020 version.
