Track Track and Turn toward characteristics

Typhoon Kulap (202217) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific洋面, 整体路径呈现显著的“先N后NE”的抛物线型Moving特征. formed初期 (9月26日08:00至27日08:00) , 系统主要沿N, The latitude从23.4°N快速提升至27.8°N, During则由143.6°E缓慢W移至141.7°E, 显示出在副热带高压W侧边缘引导下的N上Trend.

During this period, Typhoon's central latitude continued to N, but the length began by W toward E (from 141.7°E to 142.0°E), marking Moving direction from pure N toward to NE toward . After that, the system accelerated toward NE direction toward NE direction, until the end of life history.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

In terms of intensity changes, the Typhoon Kulap underwent a “fast enhancement – stable maintenance – peak maintenance” process.The initial stage was Tropical Storm level (18m/s), which was rapidly intensified into Severe Tropical Storm (25m/s) between 17:00 and 20:00 on September 26th.

September 28, 14:00, the system break the threshold upgraded to Typhoon, max wind increased to 33m/s, and at the same day at 17:00 reached peak intensity: Max Wind35m/s, minimum pressure 970hPa. It is worth noting that after reaching the peak, despite the latitude significantly N shift Go to High latitude cold sea zone, its Intensity did not immediately decrease, but repeatedly recorded to 35m/swind speed and 970hPa air pressure during September 29, 08:00 to 14:00, showing unusual high latitude maintenance ability.

In 2017 Kulap peaked only at Severe Tropical Storm (985hPa) and in 2011 Kulap reached only at Tropical Storm level (998hPa).
