Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Joan (195904)'s life history began at the Northwest Pacific Ocean Ocean, the overall path presents the typical NW toward MovingTrend, with no apparent Landfall behavior. From the formed initial coordinates (15.5°N, 143.2°E) to the pre-dispersed (30.5°N, 119.7°E) , its latitude range is about 15 degrees, length toward W advancing about 23.5 degrees. In the Moving speed, the initial August 25 to 26th) mainlyins the latitude toward rapid W shift, then gradually increases the N toward percentage. It is worth noting that the Typhoon during August 30 06:00 to August 31 06:00, after a short retreat from 118.9°E to 118.2°E and afterwards toward NE, shows at higher latitudes

In comparison to the same name History, Joan's Intensity in 1959 was significantly better at the 1973 (Tropical Storm) and 1964 (Typhoon) system of the same name. although Joan in 1970 and 1997 also reached the Super Typhoon level, but Joan recorded in 1959's 87m/sMax Wind showed extremely high energy levels, which is a very representative example of the 'Joan' in the calendar.
