Path and Moving Characteristics

Typhoon Joan (196203) 的生命周期始 at Northwest Pacific洋面, 整体呈现典型的“NW—NE”抛物线型Moving轨迹. formed初期 (7月7日) , 系统位 at 21°N, 130°E附近, 主要 toward WNW direction缓慢Moving. 随着The latitude逐渐升高, 其Moving direction发生显著变化. 在7月8日至7月9日期间, Typhoon 维持NW toward Moving, During从129.4°EW进至126°E, 纬度由22.4°N快速N抬至26.3°N.

The key turn toward point appeared on July 9 about 12:00, at this time Center was about 28°N, 126°E. After that, influenced by the mid-high latitude W wind belt guided airflow, typhoon track obviously toward E deviation, Go to accelerate N in the first phase.

Intensity Analysis

该Typhoon 经历了完整的“增强—巅峰—减弱”过程. 初始阶段为Severe Tropical Storm (25-30m/s) . 7月8日06:00, wind speed增至35m/s, 正式升级为Typhoon 级别. 随后Intensity持续攀升, at 7月9日00:00至06:00期间达到巅峰状态, max wind 录得41m/s, 并在此Intensity维持约12h.

After the peak, as the latitude further N shifted and the sea temperature decreased, Typhoon Intensity began to decline rapidly. on July 9, 12:00wind speed dropped to 35m/s, 18:00 further weakened into Severe Tropical Storm (30m/s) . Go to July 10, system wind speed fell below the 25m/s threshold, declined to Tropical Storm, and finally weakened into Nameless (17m/s) on the morning of July 11 .
