Typhoon Nuri, known in the Philippines as Super Typhoon Paeng, was the third most intense tropical cyclone worldwide in 2014. Nuri developed into a tropical storm and received the name Paeng from the PAGASA on October 31, before it intensified into a typhoon on the next day.[1][2] Under excellent conditions, especially the synoptic scale outflow, Nuri underwent rapid deepening and reached its peak intensity on November 2, forming a round eye in a symmetric Central dense overcast (CDO).[3][4] Having maintained the impressive structure for over one day, the typhoon began to weaken on November 4, with a cloud-filled eye.[5]

Because of increasing vertical wind shear from the mid-latitude westerlies, Nuri lost the eye on November 5, and deep convection continued to diminish.[6] The storm accelerated northeastward and completely became extratropical on November 6.[7] However, on November 7, Nuri's circulation split, and the new center absorbed the storm.[7][8]
