4.8. TS 0821 NOUL<br />

NOUL formed as TD near Philippines at 18 UTC<br />

14/11/2008. It moved WNW and obtained TS<br />

intensity at 12 UTC 16/11/2008. Maintaning WNW<br />

motion it reached peak intensity with Vmax of 40<br />

kts and center pressure of 994 hPa at 00 UTC<br />

17/11/2008. After hitting southern coastline of<br />

Vietnam it downgraded into a TD and dissipated<br />

on the same day 17/11/2008.<br />

As can be seen from Fig.13. and Tab.8 the model<br />

forecasts are good. However, official forecasts<br />

of different forecast centers failed to predict its<br />

soon landfall on 17/11/2008 when predicting it to<br />

move SW and go along coastline.<br />

Fig.13. Track of TS NOUL (0821) and forecasts<br />

of CMA’s typhoon track prediction model. Other<br />

explanations are similar to those in Fig.6.<br />
