Analysis of Typhoon Rai

Track Track and Moving Characteristics

Typhoon Rai (202122) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific低纬海域, 整体路径呈现显著的W行Trend, 并在后期出现明显的N折转 toward . 初始阶段, 系统自5.5°N, 140.9°E formed后, 迅速 toward W, 横穿Philippines以E海域. 在12月13日至12月18日期间, 其The latitude变化相对平缓, 从5.5°N缓慢N抬至11.2°N, During则从140.9°E大幅W移至114.9°E, 显示出强劲且稳定的W行引导气流作用.

路径的关键转折点出现在12月18日夜间至19日凌晨. 当Center到达113°E附近时, Typhoon Moving direction由纯W行逐渐转为NW行, 随后进一步 toward N偏移. 12月20日后, 随着The latitude快速从15.7°N攀升至20.6°N, During变化趋缓甚至略有E退 (110.6°E至113.9°E) , 表明系统已Go to 转 toward 阶段, 最终在S海N部海域减弱消散. 全生命周期内无Landfall记录, 主要活动 at 开阔洋面.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Rai's Intensity evolution has the typical characteristics of "fast enhancement, high maintenance, slow weakening".The system in less than 3 days after formed, from Tropical Storm (18m/s) rapidly evolved to Super Typhoon (58m/s), the center's lowest air pressure dropped to 925hPa, this peak intensity appeared on December 16 at 08:00. It is noteworthy that late December 18th to 19th morning, Rai underwent a second reinforcement process, wind speed returned from 48m/s to 55m/s, air pressure dropped to 930hPa, showing its core cohesiveness still strong under adverse environments.

Compared with the same name Typhoon, the destruction potential of the RAI in 2021 far exceeds the 15th Typehoon Rai in 2016. data show that the RAI peak in 2016 is only Tropical Storm level, minimum pressure 996hPa; and in 2021, the RAI not only crossed multiple intensity levels to reach the Super Typhoon standard, its minimum air pressure is lower than 71hPa°E, max wind is higher than 40m/s. This huge Intensity difference highlights the extreme characteristics of the RAI in 2021 as the end of the Severe Typhoon, its energy accumulation and release process is more rare in the recent period of the Typhoon.
