Typhoon Jean (196220) 的生命周期始 at 1962年11月6日06时, 终 at 11月12日12时, 全程未Landfall任何陆地. 从空间轨迹来看, 该Typhoon 整体呈现稳定的NW toward MovingTrend. formed初期 (11月6日) , 系统位 at Philippines以E洋面 (12.3°N, 124.9°E) , 随后迅速 toward W穿越Philippines群岛附近海域, During在12h内从124.9°E大幅W移至122°E, 显示出较强的初始W行分量. Go to S海后, 路径逐渐转为NW direction, The latitude由13.1°N逐步N抬至17.1°N, 经度则持续W进至110.7°E附近. 整个过程中, Typhoon 中心并未出现明显的转 toward 或停滞现象, Moving路径较为平滑连贯, 最终在Hainan岛以E海域减弱消散.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

In terms of Intensity changes, Jean experienced a typical “fast enhancement – peak maintenance – rapid weakening” process. November 6 to 8 was an enhancement period, with max wind rising sharply from 25m/s to 46m/s, level jumping from Severe Tropical Storm to Severe Typhoon. November 8 to 9 November 18 at 06:00, Typhoonined 46m/s speak intensity for 36h, during Center slow Moving, indicating its structural stability and abundance of energy. However, since November 10th, 06:00, intensity appeared as a cliff fall, wind speed dropped from 12h46m/s to 30m/s, and continued to weaken into Nameless over the following two days, reflecting its potential adverse environmental factors in the later period.

Compared to the same name History, Jean's Intensity performance in 1962 at the medium upper level. Compared to Jean in 1974 (top only for Tropical Storm) and Jean in 1971 (top for Severe Typhoon), the case in 1962 reached the Severe Typhoon level, the intensity is more significant. but if compared to Jean in 1965 (top for Super Typhoon), its Max Wind46m/s still has a certain gap.
