Typhoon Lionrock Route Analysis
Track and Turning Characteristics
2016年第10号Typhoon “Lionrock”的生命史长达12天, 其Moving路径呈现出显著的复杂性与大范围回旋特征. formed初期 (8月19日至21日) , 系统位 at Japan以S洋面, 整体 toward SW direction缓慢Moving, 纬度从33.1°N降至29.3°N. 随后在8月22日至23日期间, 路径出现短Pause滞并略微W折, 经度维持在134°E附近, 显示出Typhoon 在副热带高压边缘的引导气流中经历了一段调整期.
After the real turn occurred on August 24, Typhoon began toward SW direction to accelerate Moving, until August 25 arrived at the most S-side Position (about 23.2°N-23.5°N) . Then, the path occurred sharp reversal, the system headed down toward NE direction to go. On August 27-29th, Typhoon quickly crossed the Yellow Islands to E sea area and toward Japan's main island to S approach, the latitude rapidly rebound to 29.3°N. Go to August 30th, affected by the W wind belt, Moving speed accelerated and turned toward NNE and direction, finally at August 31st deep into the high latitude area (42.5°N) , the degree toward W retreat back to 127.6°E, completing a huge reverse-clocking path.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
In terms of Intensity changes, “Lionrock” underwent a typical “weakening – explosion – then weakening” process. The first time it was a Tropical Storm, the previous period of Intensity fluctuation was not great. But in the SW line on August 24-25th, the system was rapidly enhanced, Pressure dropped from 982hPa to 945hPa, wind speed increased to 48m/s, to Severe Typhoon level. It is worth noting that its peak on August 29th after turning toward NE, Pressure dropped to 935hPa, max wind to 52m/s, was rated Super Typhoon.
In comparison to the same name History, the 2016 'Lionrock' Intensity far exceeded the previous record. 2010 No. 6 'Lionrock' peaked only for Severe Tropical Storm (980hPa) and 2021 No. 17 'Lionrock' peaked only for Tropical Storm (990hPa) . 2016 case not only lowest air pressure than the first two cases 45-55hPa, but only reached the Super Typhoon level, showing that the year named Typhoon has great development potential under specific environmental conditions.
