Path and Moving Characteristics

Typhoon Phyllis (196609) 的生命史较短, 从 formed到消散仅持续约48h. 根据观测数据, 其整体Moving路径呈现稳定的NW toward Trend. 起始 at 1966年7月31日18时的S海海域 (15.3°N, 112°E) , 系统随后持续 toward NW, 直至8月2日18时结束观测 at (20.2°N, 106.1°E) . 在整个生命周期内, 该Typhoon 未出现明显的路径转 toward 或停滞现象, The latitude由15.3°N逐步N抬至20.2°N, During由112°EW移至106.1°E, 横跨经度约5.9度, 纬度跨度约4.9度. 值得注意的是, 尽管路径 direction保持一致, 但Moving速度在不同时段存在细微变化, 特别是在8月2日凌晨至中午期间, 经纬度变化幅度相对集中, 显示出一段较为快速的Moving过程. 全程无Landfall记录, 主要在开阔洋面上活动.

Intensity Analysis

Phyllis's Intensity evolution experienced the process of 'slow enhancement - to peak - rapid weakening'. The initial phase was Nameless, max windined between 12m/s to 17m/s, lasting about 30h. During this period, Pressure data was missing, but wind speed data showed its structure at slow integration period. On August 2nd, at 06h, the system intensified into Tropical Storm, wind speed increased to 20m/s, and at the same day at 12h reached the peak intensity in life history, max wind recorded 23m/s, the rank confirmed as Tropical Storm. However, peak stateined extremely short, after only 6h, that is, August 2nd, the system rapidly weakened back to Nameless, max wind dropped to 15m/s. This rapid decl

Comparison of historical names

In the sequence of names 'Phyllis', the 1966 Typhoon is a significantly weak case. Comparing historical data, the same name Typhoon in 1987, 1972 and 1960 both reached the 'Super Typhoon' extremely high Intensity level, showing extremely strong destruction potential and deep co-structure. even the 1981 Phyllis, its peak intensity is also the same as the Tropical Storm, with the 1966 individual case. however, compared to the at other years repeated Super Typhoon records, the 196609 Typhoon either from WindMax (23m/s) or from the continuous Time point of view, is at the weak position in the sequence, belonging to the typical short-lived, low-intensity thermal cyclone.
