4.2. TY 0622 DURIAN<br />

DURIAN formed as TD on 06 UTC 25/11/2006<br />

in sea water near Caroline Island. During its<br />

motion to west it gained intensity of TS at 12 UTC<br />

26/11/2006. Its intensity continuously increased<br />

upto TY at 18 UTC 28/11/2006 when its track<br />

changed to WNW. When DURIAN reached<br />

Philippines Island it obtained the peak intensity<br />

with Vmax of 105 kts and central Pmin of 915 hPa<br />

at 12 UTC 29/11/2006. It kept moving westward<br />

when passing Philippines Islands and going into<br />

the SCS in the same direction. On 03/12/2006<br />

DURIAN turned to SW and made landfall near<br />

HOCHIMINH City on 05/11/2006 with intensity<br />

of STS. During DURIAN’s occurrence it firstly<br />

moved WNW, then turned to W and SW. It was<br />

a special TY as formed in late time of TS season<br />

and reached super typhoon intensity and moving<br />

to SW direction to lower latitudes that was very<br />

rare.<br />

As can be seen from Fig.7 and Tab.2 model track<br />

forecasts from initial times from 2006112606 to<br />

2006112700 had strong north bias with large<br />

errors in +12h , +24h, +36h and +48h. Model<br />

track forecasts from latter innitial times had<br />

better performance in all forecast periods from<br />

+12h upto +72h.<br />
