Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Kate (196205) 的生命周期始 at Philippines以E洋面, 整体路径呈现显著的“W进—停滞回旋—NE转 toward ”的复杂形态. formed初期 (7月18日至19日) , 系统稳定 toward NW, The latitude从17.9°N升至19.2°N, During由124.7°EW移至121.6°E. Go to Taiwan海峡附近海域后, 其Moving速度显著减缓并出现路径转折. 7月20日至21日期间, Typhoon 中心在19.3°N-19.9°N, 118.9°E-119.5°E的狭窄区域内徘徊, 表现为先微幅S落至19.3°N, 随后转为NE toward Moving, 显示出受引导气流减弱或双Typhoon 效应等复杂环流背景影响的特征. 7月22日后, 系统加速 toward NE, 最终 at 7月24日在E海N部减弱消散. 全过程无Landfall记录, 主要活动区域集中在巴士海峡及Taiwan以E海域.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

The Typhoon Intensity evolution has experienced rapid enhancement, high level maintenance and rapid weakening in three stages. From Nameless to Typhoon only in about 36h (July 18, 12 to 20, 00) , max wind increased from 12m/s to 33m/s. peak intensity appeared on July 22, 00:00 to 06:00, max wind reached 41m/s, and at this Intensityined 12h. It is worth noting that during the path of July 20 to 21, despite the slow Moving, its Intensity still remained at Typhoon level (33-38m/s) , showing no noticeable decline, indicating that the sea temperature and vertical wind intersection conditions favorable at its maintenance structure.

Compared to the previous Typhoon, Kate's peak intensity in 1962 (41m/s, Typhoon) was weak at 1970's Kate (Super Typhoon) and 1999's Kate (Typhoon, usually Super Typhoon or Severe Typhoon level air pressure is lower, here only by data comparison), but strong at 1973's Kate (Severe Tropical Storm).
