Intensity Analysis

Wanda的Intensity演变经历了典型的“快速增强—巅峰维持—迅速减弱”过程. formed初期为Nameless, wind speed15m/s. 8月28日凌晨 intensified into Tropical Storm, 随后稳步增强, at 8月29日06时达到Typhoon 级别 (35m/s) . Go to 8月30日后, intensity 爆发式增长, 仅用18h便从Typhoon 级 (41m/s) 跃升至Severe Typhoon级 (46m/s) , 并 at 8月31日00时达到peak intensity, max wind 达48m/s.

Peak stateined about 36h (August 31 00 to 18:00) , while wind speed remained at a high level of 48m/s. However, Go to September 1, influenced by environmental factors, intensity sharply decreased. from September 1 00 41m/s (Typhoon ) to 18 15m/s (Nameless) , short 18h inside wind speed decreased 26m/s, level three, showing its rapid disappearance characteristics at the end of the life cycle.

Comparison of historical names

The data showed that in 1971 Wanda peak was only Typhoon level, in 1974 Severe Tropical Storm level, and in 1977 Wandapeak intensity was the weakest, only Tropical Storm level. In contrast, in 1962 Wanda not only reached Severe Typhoon level, and Max Wind48m/s far above the successor of the same name Typhoon, is the four-time intensity strongest.
