Characteristics of Typhoon Krovanh

Track Moving and Spatial Distribution Characteristics

Typhoon “Krovanh” (202023) 的生命史较短, 整体呈现自E toward W横跨SHainan部的Moving轨迹. formed初期, 系统位 at Philippines以E洋面 (122.4°E) , 随后稳定 toward WN, 穿越Philippines群岛Go to S海中部海域. 在12月20日11时之前, 其The latitude从8.3°N缓慢上升至10.9°N, During则从122.4°E快速W移至114.9°E, 显示出较强的W风引导气流作用.

It is worth noting that the Typhoon saw a noticeable path shift around 18 a.m. on December 20th. Before this time point, the systemined the NW toward Moving; after that, the Moving direction turned to SW toward, the latitude dropped back from 10.9°N to near 9.2°N, and almost stagnated at 113.2°E, 9.2°N ocean area between 06 a.m. and 12 a.m. on December 21st. This pre-NW post-SW, eventually turning at a stable pathway shape, indicated that it was affected by a complex large scale flow in the SHainan department, guiding air flow significantly weakened, resulting in a significant decrease in transmission speed and rotation.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

From the Intensity change, “Krovanh” overall Intensity weakened, only reached Tropical Storm level during the lifetime. Initial stage is Nameless, Pressureined at 1004hPa, max wind 15m/s. In the toward WMoving process, the system at December 20 at 11 am microplaced to 1002hPa, and at the same day at 18 am intensified into Tropical Storm, reached peak intensity: Max Wind18m/s, minimum pressure 1000hPa.
