Track Track and Moving Features

1962年第11号Typhoon “Thelma”的生命周期始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体呈现典型的NW toward 转NE toward 抛物线型路径. formed初期 (8月21日) , 系统位 at 147.1°E附近, 以Severe Tropical StormIntensity稳定 toward NW. 随着The latitude逐渐升高, 其During持续W移, 至8月23日00:00到达24.3°N, 140.2°E附近时, Moving direction开始发生微妙变化, 由纯NW toward 逐渐转为N direction.

The key turn toward process occurred between August 24 and 25. Data showed that from August 24 at 12:00 to August 25 at 00:00, Typhoon's center length changed slightly (from 137.3°E to 136.9°E), while the latitude rose significantly N, indicating that the system was at the crucial time of the path turn. Then, from August 25 at 12:00, Typhoon completely turned toward NE direction accelerated Moving, length from 136.4°E rapidly expanded to 142.5°E, and eventually at August 27 at the high latitude waters dispersed.
