Track Track and Turn toward characteristics

Typhoon Helen (196113) 的生命周期始 at 1961年7月27日06:00, 终 at 8月3日18:00, 全程未Landfall任何陆地. 从空间轨迹来看, 该Typhoon 整体呈现“先NW后NE”的典型抛物线型Moving路径. formed初期 (7月27日至28日) , 系统位 at lat 21.5°至24.2°N, 131.6°附近海域, 主要 toward NW direction缓慢Moving, During变化较小. 7月29日06:00到达lat 25.3°N, 131.1°时, Typhoon 达到最W端Position, 随后路径发生显著转折. 自7月29日18:00起, Typhoon 中心开始 toward NE direction加速Moving, The latitude迅速从26.7°N攀升至38.7°N, 经度则从130.5°E逐渐W移至127.2°E后又略微E折. 这种在副热带高压边缘的转 toward 行为, 符合中纬度W风带引导下的典型温带气旋转化路径特征.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

在Intensity变化方面, Helen经历了快速增强至巅峰后迅速减弱的过程. 初始阶段为Tropical Storm (23m/s) , 在约36h内快速加强, at 7月29日06:00达到Severe Typhoon intensity with max winds of 录得46m/s, 此为生命史中的peak intensity. 巅峰维持Time较短, 仅约12h后便开始减弱. 7月30日18:00降格为Severe Tropical Storm, 随后在N上的过程中受环境场影响, intensity 波动下降. 值得注意的是, 在8月1日至8月2日期间, 系统在Tropical Storm与Nameless之间反复震荡, 显示出结构的不稳定性, 最终 at 8月3日 weakened into Nameless并消散.

The 1961 Helen peak intensity (Severe Typhoon, 46m/s) was significantly higher compared to the previous Typhoon (Typhoon or Tropical Storm level respectively) at 1995, 1992 and 1975, but weak at 1972 Helen (Super Typhoon).
