Track Track and Turn toward characteristics

Typhoon Shirley (196303) 的生命周期始 at 1963年6月13日06时, 初始Position位 at lat 13.7°N, 131.6°附近. 在 formed初期至6月15日期间, 系统主要呈现NW toward MovingTrend, The latitude从13.7°N迅速N抬至16.3°N, During则由131.6°E微幅W移至130.9°E, 显示出稳定的NW行进态势. 随着纬度继续N推, 路径在6月16日至6月18日期间发生显著转折. 虽然纬度持续由18.3°N上升至26.9°N, 但经度变化显示其 toward W分量减弱并逐渐转为NE, 特别是在6月18日12时至6月19日06时之间, 经度基本维持在124.3°E-124.4°E区间, 标志着路径转 toward 的关键节点. 此后, Typhoon 加速 toward NE, 最终 at 6月22日12时在N大洋高纬度海域 (44.8°N, 155.2°E) weakened into Nameless并结束观测. 整个路径呈现典型的“NW行-转 toward -NE移出”抛物线形态, 且全程无Landfall记录.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Shirley shows rapid enhancement and lasting maintenance characteristics in Intensity development. Starting from June 13's Severe Tropical Storm (30m/s), it intensified into Super Typhoon (59m/s) with only about 36h, and at June 16 at 06 at peak intensity, max wind up to 71m/s. It is worth noting that the systemined at Super Typhoon level (wind speed ≥51m/s) for 3 days Time, until June 18 at 12 began to weaken significantly.

Shirley's intensity in 1963 was remarkable compared to the previously named Typhoon, with its peak wind speed of 71m/s far greater than that in 1974, the Typhoon level intensity in 1968, and Shirley's remarkable strength at Nameless Intensity only in 1978.
