Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Molave (202018) 的生命史始 at 2020年10月24日17时, formed at Northwest Pacific洋面 (13.2°N, 129.7°E) , 初始状态为Nameless. 从路径采样数据来看, 该Typhoon 整体呈现稳定的WNTrend, The latitude变化幅度较小, 主要维持在13°N至15.5°N之间的低纬度海域. 在 formed初期, 系统快速 toward W穿越Philippines群岛以E海域, During从129.7°E迅速推进至122.2°E. Go to S海后, Moving速度保持相对均匀, 路径直线度较高, 未出现明显的折 toward 或停滞现象. 直至生命末期, 系统在接近Vietnamcoastal 时略微 toward N偏移, 最终 at 10月29日02时在15.4°N, 105.3°E附近减弱消散. 整个过程中, Typhoon 中心始终位 at 海上, 无Landfall记录.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Molave's Intensity evolution underwent a typical process of 'fast enhancement - peak maintenance - rapid weakening'.The system was formed within 24h by Nameless intensified into Typhoon, and at October 27 at 15 at peak intensity, at which time the center's minimum air pressure dropped to 950hPa, max wind to 45m/s, qualified as Severe Typhoon. It is worth noting that its peak intensity at 950hPained about 10h (October 27 at 15 to 28 at 01 am), showing stronger structural stability.

与历史同名Typhoon 相比, 2020年Molave的Intensity显著高 at 既往记录. 2015年第14号Typhoon Molave巅峰仅为Tropical Storm (最低气压990hPa) , 2009年第6号Typhoon Molave巅峰为Typhoon (最低气压965hPa) . 相比之下, 2020年Molave不仅达到了Severe Typhoon级别, 其最低气压更是比2009年同类低了15hPa, max wind 高出相应等级标准, 是三次同名Typhoon 中Intensity最强的一次.
