Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Lucy (196222) formed at Northwest Pacific低The latitude海域, 整体路径呈现稳定的W行Trend. 从11月25日00:00在(6.5°N, 139.1°E) formedNameless开始, 系统持续 toward W, 横跨Philippines以E洋面并Go to SHainan部. 在整个生命史中, 该Typhoon 未出现明显的N上转 toward 或折返现象, 纬度变化极小, 始终维持在6.5°N至10.7°N的狭窄带状区域内. 这种近乎直线的W行路径表明其主要受低纬度高信风带引导气流控制, 副热带高压S侧边缘对其路径起到了稳定的导引作用. 直至12月1日18:00在(10.4°N, 99.4°E)消散, 其During跨度超过40个经度, 是一条典型的远距离W行typhoon track, 且全程无Landfall记录.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

The system was rapidly intensified into Typhoon within 48h after formed, followed by explosive enhancement during November 28-29th, max wind jumping from 35m/s to 51m/s, reaching Super Typhoon level, andining about 12h at that Intensity.

In the historical data provided, in 1977, 1971 and 1968 Lucy reached the Super Typhoon level, while in 1974 Lucy was only Nameless. In 1962 Lucy with 51m/s Max Wind joined the Severe Typhoon line, with the strong system of the same name in 1977, 1971 and 1968, significantly strong at 1974 weak system. This suggests that the name 'Lucy' has given both weak tropical disturbances in history and repeatedly responded to the very destructive Super Typhoon, a typical representative of the latter in 1962, with long life, high Intensity and stable W marked climate characteristics.
