During a Typhoon's active period, live published values are operational positioning data. After the Typhoon ends, the CMA combines more complete observational data to produce the best-track dataset, which is generally used for academic research and historical rankings. Data sources: CMA Tropical Cyclone Best Track Dataset (compiled using IBTrACS v04r01); wind speeds are converted from knots to m/s and rounded.
Analysis of Typhoon Krathon Track Characteristics
Track and Movement Characteristics
Typhoon Krathon (202418) began its life cycle at 05:00 on September 27, 2024, at 21.3°N, 126.7°, initially moving southwest. From September 27 to 28, it followed a pronounced west-southwest track, moving from 21.3°N to 18.8°N. From September 29, it turned sharply northwest and gradually approached the southern waters of the Taiwan Strait. Throughout its journey, its center moved from a low-latitude area with warm sea temperatures toward a higher-latitude region. At 13:00 on October 3, it made landfall along the coast of Linyuan District, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. After landfall, terrain friction and the surrounding environment significantly slowed its movement, with the center shifting only slightly between 02:00 on October 4 and the preceding advisory. It eventually weakened and dissipated near 22.7°. Its overall track followed a complex pattern of first moving southwest, then northwest, and finally north, with the curvature changing as it approached land.
Intensity Evolution and Peak Status
Krathon的Intensity演变经历了快速增强, 巅峰维持及迅速减弱三个阶段. 从9月27日的Tropical Depression (15m/s, 1002hPa) 发展至9月29日的Typhoon 级 (38m/s, 965hPa) , 仅用时约两天半. 随后Go to 爆发式增强期, 9月30日08:00已达Super Typhoon级别 (52m/s, 935hPa) . 10月1日04:00至14:00期间, Typhoon 达到生命史巅峰, 中心The minimum air pressure.降至920hPa, max wind 维持在60m/s, 并在此高Intensity状态下稳定维持至少10h. 然而, 自10月2日00:00起, intensity 开始明显下滑, wind speed由50m/s逐步降至45m/s, 气压回升至950hPa. Landfall前后, 结构进一步破坏, 10月3日16:00wind speed降至35m/s, 至10月4日02:00已 weakened into Tropical Depression (15m/s, 1000hPa) , 表明其Landfall后能量耗散极快.
Historical Intensity Comparison
作为2024年第18号Typhoon , Krathon以920hPa的The minimum air pressure.和60m/s的Max Wind跻身Super Typhoon行列. 相较 at 历史上同名为“Krathon”或code相近的Typhoon , 本次过程展现出极高的Intensity峰值和较长的Super Typhoon维持Time. 其核心区域气压极低, 显示出深厚的对流活动和紧密的核心结构, 是2024年秋台季中极具代表性的Severe Typhoon个例.
