Analysis of Typhoon Iris

Path and Moving Characteristics

Typhoon Iris (196202)'s life began at Northwest Pacific's low-latitude waters, presenting overall a stable NW toward MovingTrend, with no apparent path turns or landfall behavior. From the formed moment (May 26, 06:00) to the eve of dispersion (May 30, 00:00) , its Center from the initial 9.9°N, 129.7°E continuous toward NW direction, eventually reaching 17.8°N, 125.2°E near. In terms of Moving speed, in the initial period (May 26, 27 am) the length changes faster, showing it has a faster W segment; Go to May 28, after the length coordinates wander between 124.2°E to 124.3°E, followed by a slow E movement, indicating that the system is affected by the post-

该系统的Intensity变化呈现出“快速增强, 短暂巅峰, 迅速衰减, 长期维持”的特征. 5月26日06:00初生时为Nameless (15m/s) , 随后在18h内快速加强, at 5月27日00:00达到生命史巅峰, intensity 为Severe Tropical Storm, max wind 达30m/s. 然而, 巅峰状态维持Time极短, 仅约12h后, 自5月27日12:00起wind speed开始下滑, 降至25m/s, 并 at 同日18:00 weakened into Tropical Storm (20m/s) . 5月28日00:00后, 系统进一步 weakened into Nameless (15m/s) , 并在此Intensity上保持了长达48h的稳定状态, 直至数据结束. 值得注意的是, 观测数据中最低气压缺失, 但wind speed序列清晰反映了其结构从紧凑到松散的过程.

Comparison of historical names

将1962年Iris与历届同名Typhoon 进行对比, 其Intensity明显偏弱. 数据显示, 1970年, 1973年及1976年的同名Typhoon 分别达到了Super Typhoon, Severe Typhoon和Typhoon 的级别, 显示出较强的发展潜力. 相比之下, 1962年Iris仅为Severe Tropical Storm级别, 与1967年同名Typhoon (Tropical Storm) Intensity较为接近, 属 at 历史上Intensity较弱的“Iris”Typhoon 之一. 这表明在不同年份的大尺度环流背景下, 同名Typhoon 的 formed环境与发展潜力存在显著差异.
