170kts (315kph) max 1-min sustained winds for STY Meranti :eek:



Another typhoon ands tied with Haiyan? :lol:

Without no recon, the limit for the world's most powerful basin's TC's is 165 to 175 knots. Anything above will most likely be tossed out.


Unlike with Haiyan (which I am guessing was higher still), 170 kt seems accurate for Meranti. However, without Recon we will never know.

I'm surprised to see JTWC bump up to 170 kt in the final best track. I can't imagine that they aren't going to have a section dedicated to Meranti in the 2016 Annual Tropical Cyclone Report once it is released, and I look forward to reading it and getting inside their head for this one.

It seems it peaked right as it went over that tiny island, which reading back recorded a pressure of 883mb with moderate winds. The minimum pressure was likely 879mb in actual fact.

So that 983mb pressure, about an hour after the recorded 933mb, is actually 883mb?

That's what I suspect.

The observed MSLP stated in the official tropical cyclone passage report is 933.6 mb. Unfortunately the weather station failed to function later on and we didn't have a complete observation.

Yep, any other observations after that are junk unfortunately. It's pretty clear though that the 933.6 mb pressure was not the lowest that occurred on the island. The station was still reporting strong winds at the time. On a glance, it appears the island was beginning to break out into the eye, since it was within the off-white color shade on BD IR imagery, but a cross-reference with the radar imagery at the time reveals that the OW eye ring is where the strongest eyewall radar echoes resided. Itbayat was probably very near the strongest pressure gradient at the time, and likely the most severe conditions.

2016 ATCR is out... Unfortunately, no detailed review for Meranti, nor any other WPac systems...
Anyways, they did a detailed review on two SHem cyclones -- Ula and Winston... Very interesting/informative as always :D

I ran KZC to solve for pressure with Meranti's best track file, and the pressures spit out near peak intensity are around 10 mb lower than those given by JTWC.

Of course, the actual pressures won't ever be known, but I thought it was interesting to see how far JTWC departed from them while Meranti was the most intense.

I ran Schloemer using the 933.6 mb at 17Z. I derived a position of 20.625ºN, 121.9ºE from the 17Z radar image posted above. I pulled station location from here. Distance between the two ended up being 11 nm. I also derived a 11 nm RMW from a 15 nm diameter eye. Depending on if I use the 1007 mb oci from 12Z or the 1005 mb oci from 18Z in JTWC best track, I get between 891-892 mb as a pressure estimate. That matches up pretty well with the 165-170 kt intensity estimates I think.

Potential new world record holder for lowest land based barometric pressure reading (and there's a pretty huge gap between this and the currently recognized record holder)

983.0 mb doesn't seem right because the Itbayat station was right in the eye and had no equipment failure.
I think it should be 883.0 mb. The number "7" in "57000" means "Decreasing steadily - resultant pressure lower", so the "000" after the "7" may refer to a 100.0 mb pressure decrease compares to 3 hours earlier.
And 1500z SYNOP recorded a pressure of 983 mb thus 1800z would result in a 883 mb pressure.


I checked the raw data at this specific synop time, Itbayat included a qnt (gust) remark that was 80 mps which translates to 155 knots though this 80 m/s gust was not included in the typhoon committee report. Next time a super typhoon comes here again while I'm on duty, I'll be quick to post any surface synop report that could be a world record :D
