Typhoon Melissa trajectory
Track and Turning Characteristics
Typhoon Melissa (199425) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“抛物线”型Moving特征. formed初期 (9月11日至13日) , 系统位 at 低纬度海域 (10°N-13.8°N) , 受副热带高压S侧引导气流影响, 主要 toward NW direction缓慢Moving, 经度在156.7°E至159.5°E之间小幅摆动. 9月14日至15日, 随着纬度N抬至15°N以上, Moving direction逐渐转为N.
The key turning point occurred around September 16. At 08:00 on September 16, the center was located at 22.8°N, 158.4°E. It then moved rapidly northward to 28.7°N, 155.2°E, by 08:00 on September 17, showing that the system had fully entered the westerlies and its track had turned markedly toward the NE. Thereafter, the typhoon accelerated toward the NE until it dissipated over the high-latitude waters near 42.1°N on September 19. Throughout its entire lifecycle, the typhoon made no landfall and remained over the ocean.
Intensity Evolution and Peak Status
Melissa的Intensity演变经历了快速增强, 巅峰维持及逐渐减弱三个阶段. 从9月11日的Tropical Depression (15m/s, 1000hPa) 起步, 系统在48h内迅速 intensified into Severe Tropical Storm. 9月14日升级为Typhoon 后, Go to 爆发式增强期: 仅用36h, Pressure从970hPa骤降至920hPa, max wind 从35m/s飙升至60m/s, at 9月16日08:00达到Super Typhoon级别, 这也是其生命史中的巅峰时刻.
After reaching its peak, Melissa began to weaken as it encountered colder, high-latitude waters and increasing vertical wind shear. From 20:00 on September 16, its wind speed fell to 50m/s and its pressure rose to 925hPa. While moving toward the NE, its structure gradually loosened, and it was downgraded to a typhoon on the evening of September 17, before weakening further into a severe tropical storm on September 18. Notably, during its final stage of life, from September 18 to 19, despite reaching latitudes as high as 35°N, its intensity remained around 30m/s and its pressure stayed stable at 980hPa, indicating the resilience of its residual circulation. Monitoring ended on the evening of September 19 with a wind speed of 25m/s.
