Path and Moving Characteristics

Typhoon Elaine (196016) 的生命史始 at S海NE部海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“抛物线”型回旋结构. formed初期 (8月19日至20日) , 系统位 at lat 19.3°至20.1°N, 116.5°至118.1°之间, 主要 toward NE direction缓慢Moving. 随后, 受引导气流影响, 其Moving direction逐渐转为N, 并 at 8月21日至22日期间加速N上, 穿越Taiwan海峡以E海域, 最N端抵达lat 24.0°附近.

A notable feature of the path was the apparent shift toward that appeared at 23 August. After reaching the latest degree, the Typhoon did not continue deeper on the inland or coastal shore N, but rapidly folded toward SW. From 23 August 06:00 to 25 August 06:00, the center coordinates from (23.5°N, 121.4°E) back to (23.8°N, 116.5°E) and back to the formed initial length range.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

在Intensity变化方面, Elaine经历了完整的“增强-巅峰-减弱”过程. 初始阶段为Nameless (17m/s) , 经过约36h的快速加强, at 8月21日06:00发展为Typhoon 级别 (33m/s) . 其peak intensity出现在8月22日00:00至06:00, max wind 达到38m/s, 维持Typhoon 等级约18h后开始减弱. 8月22日12:00起, wind speed降至33m/s并持续下滑, 至8月23日06:00已降级为Nameless. 值得注意的是, 在生命末期 (8月24日) , 系统曾短暂回升至Tropical StormIntensity (20m/s) , 随后再次减弱消散.

Data show that in 1971, 1968 and 1974 the same-name Typhoon peak intensity respectively reached the Super Typhoon or Severe Typhoon level, while in 1965 Elaine only reached the Severe Tropical Storm.
