Typhoon Surigae trajectory
Track and Turning Characteristics
Typhoon Surigae (202102) 的生命史长达18天, 整体路径呈现显著的“NW行—N折—NE转 toward ”的抛物线形态. formed初期, 系统位 at 低纬度洋面 (7.8°N, 138°E) , 受引导气流影响稳定 toward NW. 在4月17日至4月20日期间, Typhoon 中心维持在11.3°N至15.8°N, 130.1°E至125.9°E之间, 此时为路径的最W端, About 离land最近但未Landfall.
Subsequently, the track made a marked turn. After April 20, the typhoon gradually shifted northward and completed a key turn near 23.1°N around April 23, changing from a NW to a NE heading. It then accelerated toward the high-latitude seas, with longitude rapidly expanding eastward from 129°E to 184.8°E and latitude rising steadily to 47.3°N. This large-scale turn in track indicates strong influence from the westerly trough-ridge system. Ultimately, it moved eastward away from the continent under the south side of the North Atlantic high, with no recorded landfall.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
Surigae underwent a typical process of rapid intensification, peak-intensity maintenance, and gradual weakening. Starting as a tropical depression with winds of 13m/s on April 13, the system intensified explosively within just four days, reaching super typhoon status by April 17 with winds of 62m/s and a central pressure of 915hPa. Notably, it maintained high intensity from April 17 to April 19 and later recorded its peak values of 895hPa and 72m/s, demonstrating the exceptional stability of its core structure.
After April 20, its intensity began declining in stages as latitude increased and environmental conditions changed. It weakened from a super typhoon to a severe typhoon, then to a severe tropical storm on April 23, with wind speed plunging from 52m/s to 30m/s. After moving into the mid- and high-latitude region, its pressure briefly fell to 960hPa on April 28, but wind speed remained at only 23m/s, indicating that it had become an extratropical cyclone or was being driven by baroclinic energy. Its structure therefore changed, and it finally dissipated as a tropical depression on May 1.
Compared with the typhoon of the same name, the 2021 Surigae had a significantly higher peak intensity of 895hPa and 72m/s than the 2026 Surigae, which reached 925hPa. Although both attained super typhoon status, the 2021 system had lower pressure and stronger winds, indicating more intense energy release and making it a notable severe typhoon case in the West Pacific that year.
