Analysis of Typhoon Mindulle's Path Characteristics
Track and Movement Characteristics
Typhoon Mindulle (202116) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“NW行—N转—NE移”抛物线形态. formed初期 (9月23日至25日) , 系统自143.3°E附近 toward NW direction稳定Moving, 纬度从13.8°N迅速提升至18.1°N, 经度W移至137.6°E, 此阶段Moving速度较快且 direction明确. 9月26日至29日期间, Typhoon Go to 关键转 toward 期, 路径在136.4°E至135.5°E狭窄经度范围内发生显著变化: 先是在19.6°N附近短Pause滞并维持Super TyphoonIntensity, 随后转为近乎正N, 直至24.8°N后开始逐渐 toward E偏转. 10月1日后, 受W风带引导气流影响, Typhoon 加速 toward NE, 经度从139.8°E快速E扩至147.6°E, 纬度亦突破35°NGo to 中高纬度海域. 全生命周期内无Landfall记录, 始终在洋面上活动.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
The Typhoon underwent an intense intensity eruption and maintenance process. Starting from the 23rd of September's Tropical Storm (18m/s, 998hPa), only about 40 hours at the evening of September 25 intensified into the Severe Typhoon (50m/s) . on September 26th at 14, its intensity peaked, the central minimum air pressure dropped to 920hPa, the maximum wind to 60m/s, established as the Super Typhoon level. It is noteworthy that during the September 26th to 29th, despite the PositionN shift, its core intensity for a long time remained at the Superhoon level (wind speed52-60m/s, air pressure 920-935hPa), showing strong structural stability.
Compared with previous typhoons of the same name, the 2021 Mindulle was overwhelmingly more intense. The 2016 and 2010 Mindulles peaked only at severe tropical storm intensity, with minimum central pressures of 980 hPa. Even the stronger 2004 Mindulle peaked only as a severe typhoon, with a central pressure of 940 hPa. The 2021 Mindulle’s minimum central pressure was 20 hPa lower than that of the strongest previous storm with the same name, while its maximum wind speed was 10 m/s higher, making it the strongest Mindulle on record.
