Track Track and Turn toward characteristics

Typhoon Emma (195912) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“W进-N折-NE出海”抛物线形态. formed初期 (11月5日至7日) , 系统位 at 148°E附近, 稳定 toward WN, The latitude从11.8°N缓慢上升至13.9°N. 随后在11月8日至10日期间, 路径维持W行Trend, During由137.6°E快速W移至127.4°E, 逼近Philippines以E洋面, 但未发生Landfall.

As the system N rises to 19°N by N, the Moving direction gradually shifts from W to NW, and then toward N accelerates. On 12 November, at 00, the center of the Typhoon reaches 22.2°N, 124.2°E, which can be considered a peak point or a turning prefix of the path. Since then, influenced by the W wind belt guided airflow, the Typhoon rapidly shifts toward NE, the length from 124.2°E significantly shifts back to 153.5°E, the latitude continues to push N to 28.5°N. Thro the life cycle, the system continues to be active at sea, without landfall records, and eventually weakens on the open ocean surface.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

在Intensity变化方面, Typhoon Emma经历了显著的快速增强过程. 初始阶段为Nameless, wind speed12m/s. 经过约5天的稳步发展, at 11月11日 intensified into Typhoon 级别 (33m/s) . 最为剧烈的增强发生在11月11日06时至12日00时的18h内, 中心Max Wind从33m/s激增至56m/s, 达到Super Typhoon级别, 这也是其生命史中的peak intensity.

巅峰过后, 随着路径转 toward NE并Go to 较高The latitude海域, 环境条件不再利 at 维持高Intensity, 系统开始迅速减弱. 12日18时降为Severe Typhoon (46m/s) , 13日中午进一步 weakened into Typhoon (35m/s) , 至14日早晨已降级为Tropical Storm.

In 1977, the same name Typhoon peak intensity in 1974 and 1965 is only Severe Tropical Storm, and in 1967 Emma although also reached the Super Typhoon level, but in 1959 Emma in the late autumn season (January) still can develop an extremely high wind speed of 56m/s, showing that year's autumn sea temperature and atmospheric rings favorable support for the development of Typhoon, its Intensity in the same name sequence belongs at first ladder.
