Typhoon Kit Route Characteristics

Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Kit (196024) at 1960年10月2日在Northwest Pacific洋面 formed, 初始Position位 at 13.7°N, 137°E. 在其生命史初期, 系统呈现稳定的W行Trend. 从10月2日至10月6日, Typhoon 中心The latitude基本维持在12.8°N至13.7°N之间, During从137°E快速W移至124.5°E, 显示出受副热带高压S侧引导气流影响显著, Moving路径平直且速度较快.

值得注意的是, 该Typhoon 在10月7日后路径出现明显转折. 在抵达121.9°E附近后, 系统开始 toward NW direction偏移, The latitude逐渐N抬. 10月8日至10月10日期间, Typhoon 中心从15.2°N, 118.4°EMoving至18.4°N, 114°E, 这一阶段不仅纬度显著增加, During继续W进, 表明其受到W风带或高压脊形态变化的total 同作用, 路径由纯W行转为NW行. 最终, Typhoon at 10月13日在16.5°N, 102.2°E减弱消散, 全程未Landfall任何陆地, 属 at 典型的远洋转 toward 或近海掠过型路径.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

在Intensity变化方面, Typhoon Kit经历了两次明显的增强过程. 首次增强发生在 formed后的前三天, 从Nameless迅速发展为Severe Typhoon, at 10月6日06:00在12.8°N, 124.5°E达到第一个巅峰, max wind 录得46m/s. 随后系统短暂减弱至33m/s, 但在Go to S海N部海域后再次加强. 10月9日至10月10日, Typhoon 二度增强为Severe Typhoon, 并 at 10月10日00:00在18.4°N, 114°E再次达到46m/s的峰值Intensity. 此后, 随着系统 toward W深入并接近中S半岛coastal , intensity 持续衰减, 最终降级为Nameless.

Compared to the previous typhoon, the 1960 Kit peak intensity is Severe Typhoon (46m/s), its intensity high at 1988 and 1978 Kit (both called Severe Tropical Storm), slightly lower at 1985 Kit (Severe Typhoon, specific wind speed data is not provided but the same grade) , and weak at 1981 Kit (Super Typhoon) .
