Path and Moving Characteristics

Typhoon Shirley (196007) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific洋面, 整体呈现典型的NW toward Moving后转 toward NE的抛物线轨迹. formed初期 (7月29日) , 系统位 at 18.2°N, 128.1°E附近, 稳定 toward NW direction推进. 在7月29日至7月31日期间, Typhoon 中心The latitude从18.2°N迅速N抬至25.1°N, During由128.1°EW进至121.4°E, 显示出强劲的NW行进动力.

It is worth noting that the Typhoon did not show any noticeable landfall records during the Moving, always in marine activity.About 18:00 on July 31 to 00:00 on August 1, the path curvature changed significantly, Moving direction gradually shifted from NW to N, and then turned toward NE.After August 1, as the latitude rapidly broke 26°N and continued to N up to 32.3°N, the length change slowed slightly and even there were signs of E retreat (119.3°E to 117.9°E range fluctuations), indicating that it was significantly affected by the wind belt guided air flow, eventually weakened in higher latitudes.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Shirley's Intensity evolution has the typical characteristics of 'fast enhancement, peak maintenance, rapid decline.' Starting from 00:00 on July 29, Nameless (12m/s), the system continuously crossed Tropical Storm, Severe Tropical Storm, Typhoon and Severe Typhoon levels over 36h. Especially during 06:00 on July 30 to 00:00 on July 31, the max wind increased from 46m/s to 69m/s, reaching Super Typhoon level, showing extremely explosive power. The peak stateins about 12h, starting from 06:00 on July 31, but stillins Severe Typhoon Intensity (46m/s) until 00:00 on August 1.

在与同名Typhoon 的横 toward 对比中, 1960年Shirley的Intensity表现极为突出. It peaked at Super Typhoon (69m/s) , 远高 at 1974年, 1978年及1968年的同名Typhoon (后者巅峰仅为Typhoon 或Nameless) . 即便与同样达到Super Typhoon级别的1965年Shirley相比, 1960年Shirley在短短数天内完成的Intensity跃升幅度及其在较高The latitude仍维持高Intensity的能力, 均体现了其作为当年Severe Typhoon代表的显著特征.
