Typhoon Elsie Trail Characteristics

Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Elsie (196110)'s life history is relatively short, from formed to dispersed about 42h. Its overall path shows a stable NW toward MovingTrend, with no apparent turn toward or stagnation. In the initial phase (July 12, 12-13) , the system center is at late 20.8° to 21.7°N, between 123.1° to 121.4°, Moving direction is mainly WNW, latitude slow N rises, length continues W. When approaching the ocean area of Taiwan Strait S, the path is slightly toward N adjusted, but the overall remains toward W propulsion. It is worth noting that the Typhoon's all-round no-Land record, is always at sea activity, and finally at July 15,06 at GuangdongEascoastal sea area

Evolution of intensity

Elsie的Intensity变化呈现出典型的“快速增强-巅峰维持-迅速减弱”特征. formed初期, 系统以35m/s的wind speed达到Typhoon 级别, 并在随后12h内快速加强. 7月13日00时至12时, max wind 维持在41m/s的巅峰状态, 持续时长约12h, 表明其在适宜的海况下达到了结构最紧密, 能量最充沛的阶段. 然而, 自7月13日18时起, 随着系统进一步 toward W靠近陆地, intensity 开始显著下滑, wind speed降至35m/s. Go to 7月14日后, 减弱Trend加剧, 由Typhoon 级降为Severe Tropical Storm, 进而转为Tropical Storm. 至7月15日凌晨, 中心Max Wind已降至15m/s以下, 彻底失去Typhoon Intensity特征. 整个减弱过程耗时约30h, 速度快 at 增强过程, 反映出近岸环境对Typhoon 结构的破坏作用显著.

Comparison of Typhoon

In the 'Elsie' sequence, the 1961 Typhoon Intensity was at the middle level. Compared with other typhoons of the same name in history, its peak intensity was weak at 1992, 1989 and 1981 by ElsieTyphoon, the latter three had reached the Super Typhoon level, showing a strong destructive potential.
