Path and Moving Characteristics

Typhoon Polly (196005) 的生命史始 at 1960年7月17日12时的Philippines以E洋面, 初始Position为lat 17.7°N, 127.6°. 在 formed初期, 系统呈现NW toward MovingTrend, at 7月18日至19日期间逐渐 toward NW direction调整. 值得注意的是, 该Typhoon 在7月20日至21日期间出现明显的路径转折, Moving direction由NW转为NE, 并 at 23°附近达到最N端的The latitude停滞点前维持高Intensity. 随后, 系统加速 toward NE, 穿越E海海域, 最终 at 7月29日18时 at 45.5°N, 121°附近减弱消散. 整个生命周期长达12天半, 路径总采样点达50个, 显示其Moving轨迹较为复杂且持久. 全程无Landfall记录, 主要活动区域集中在开阔洋面, 未对陆地造成直接冲击.

Intensity Analysis

Polly's Intensity evolution experienced rapid enhancement, peak maintenance and slow weakening in three phases. From the 17th of July's Nameless (15m/s) start, the system rapidly strengthened within 48h, until July 19 has reached Severe Typhoon level (46m/s) . July 20 to 23 is its peak period,ining Super Typhoon Intensity for four consecutive days, max wind up to 59m/s, of which July 21 reached the Intensity extreme. Then, with latitude rise and environmental changes, Typhoon began to weaken, fall to Typhoon level (41m/s) on July 24th, and continued to decline on N. Go to the high latitude region, after further structural loosening, July 28 weakened into Severe Tropical Storm, finally ending
