Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Lucy (196515) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的NW toward Moving后转 toward NE的抛物线形态. formed初期 (8月15日) , 系统位 at 14.1°N, 170.7°E附近, 随后稳定 toward NW direction推进. 在8月15日至8月19日期间, Typhoon 中心The latitude从14.1°N迅速N抬至27.4°N, During由170.7°EW移至141.7°E, 显示出强劲的NW行进动力.

During this time, the Typhoon center at 30° near (about 30.1°N, 139.4°E) completed the turn toward, Moving direction from NW gradually to NE. After the turn toward, the system along Japan toward the ocean toward High latitude accelerated Moving, finally at 23 August at 06:00 at 37.2°N, 142.1°E weakened into Nameless and ended observations.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Lucy's Intensity evolution has the distinctive characteristics of 'fast enhancement, long maintenance, slow weakening'. Starting from the August 15 00:00 Tropical Storm (20m/s), intensified into Super Typhoon (56m/s) for only 36h. on August 18 00:00, its Max Wind reached its first peak of 77m/s. It is worth noting that the Typhoonined a very long Time at Super Typhoon level, from August 16:00 to August 22:00,ining Super Typhoon Intensity for more than 5 consecutive days. During the period although there was a short temporary fluctuation (wind speed dropped to 61-66m/s) from August 18 00:00 to August 20 00:00 again to 77m/speak intensity, showing extremely strong structural stability.

在与同名Typhoon 的横 toward 对比中, 1965年Lucy的Intensity表现极为突出. 相较 at 1974年Lucy仅达到NamelessIntensity, 以及1977年, 1971年和1968年的同名Typhoon 虽也达到Super Typhoon级别, 但1965年Lucy以77m/s的Max Wind和长达数日的Super Typhoon维持Time, 展现了极高的能量水平. 其生命末期Go to 高The latitude冷水区后, intensity 才迅速衰减, at 8月22日12:00降为Typhoon , 并在24h内进一步 weakened into Nameless.
