Path and Moving Characteristics

Typhoon Wendy (196011)'s life history is short, from formed to dispersed only about 66h. Its path overall shows a significant 'NW-N-NE' turn toward characteristic, belonging to the typical long ocean turn toward Typhoon . The initial phase (August 10th, 12th to 11th, 06th) , system position at lat 23.6° to 26.8°N, 137.5° to 136.2° ocean area, mainly toward NW, length slightly W shift. Subsequently, influenced by the mid-high latitude W wind belt guiding flow, path gradually N. August 11th, 12th to 12th as a key turn toward period, Typhoon center from 28.4°N to 136.2°N, mainly moving direction from NW to N

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

在Intensity变化方面, Wendy经历了快速增强至巅峰后迅速减弱的过程. formed初期为Tropical Storm (20m/s) , 在不到24h内 intensified into Severe Tropical Storm, 并 at 8月11日12时 at 28.4°附近升级为Typhoon , max wind 达到35m/s. 8月12日00时, 系统在N上过程中达到peak intensity, max wind 录得38m/s. 然而, 巅峰状态维持Time极短, 仅6h后wind speed即回落至35m/s, 并在随后的12h内急剧 weakened into Severe Tropical Storm (25m/s) 及Tropical Storm. 这种“快生快消”的特征与其快速穿越黑潮暖水区并迅速Go to 高The latitude冷海面及强垂直风切变区域密切相关.

Compared to previously known Typhoon, Wendy's peak intensity (Typhoon level, 38m/s) in 1960 was better at 1999 (Tropical Storm), 1974 (Severe Tropical Storm) and 1978 (Typhoon), but did not provide specific wind speed, usually typhoon level is limited to 32.7m/s, here 1960 data is defined as 38m/s, belonging to Severe Typhoon) system of the same name, but significantly weak at 1971 Super Typhoon.
