Typhoon Malou trajectory analysis

Track Track and Moving Features

From the initial formed Position (16.1°N, 138.8°E) to the disintegration phase, its Moving direction undergoes the evolution process from N toward N, reversing toward NE. During the 25th to 26th of October, the Typhoon center length changes small, mainly along 138°E-139°E near toward N; from October 27th, as the latitude rises, the system begins toward E, the length rapidly moves from 139.2°E to 148°E. This large scale toward Moving path clearly shows, “Malou” is led by the main thermal high-pressure band N-side flow and the WSW airflow before the WTotal, the ultimate role of the landfall is unrecorded.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

在Intensity变化方面, “Malou”表现出持续增强后快速减弱的特征. 系统 formed初期为Tropical Storm级别 (18m/s) , 随后稳步加强, at 10月26日升级为Severe Tropical Storm. Go to 10月28日后, intensity 爆发式增长, Pressure降至960hPa, max wind 达到40m/s, 正式跻身Typhoon 行列, 并在此Intensity维持约12h. 巅峰过后, 受高The latitude环境因素影响, 系统 at 10月29日早晨开始减弱, wind speed回落至35m/s及以下, 最终转化为Severe Tropical Storm.

与历史同名Typhoon 相比, 2021年“Malou”的Intensity显著偏强. 数据显示, 2016年, 2010年及2004年的同名Typhoon peak intensity仅分别为Tropical Storm或Severe Tropical Storm, minimum pressure 均在985hPa以上. 相比之下, 2021年“Malou”不仅达到了Typhoon 级Intensity, 其最低气压 (960hPa) 也远低 at 历届同名Typhoon , max wind (40m/s) 更是大幅超越以往记录. 这表明在相同命名序列下, 2021年的系统具备更深厚的对流结构和更强的能量释放能力, 是近年来该名称下Intensity最为显著的一次Typhoon 过程.
