The life cycle of the 12th Typhoon “Winnie” began at 12 a.m. on August 20, 1966, ended at 24 a.m. on August 24, without landfall on any land. From the space trajectory, the Typhoon as a whole presented the characteristics of moving slowly toward NW direction, then moving toward NE direction to accelerate.

During this period, the central latitude of the Typhoon rapidly rebounded after decreasing from 27.8°N to 27.6°N, with the length significantly shifted from 129.7°E to 130.8°E, marking the Moving direction shift from NW to NE. Since then, the Typhoon steadily marched along the NE direction, until August 24, moving out of the monitoring range, and eventually the Position reached the lat 34.7°N, 127.4° near high latitude sea area.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

在Intensity变化方面, “Winnie”经历了快速增强, 维持巅峰及迅速减弱三个阶段. formed初期为Tropical Storm (20m/s) , 仅在6h内便 intensified into Severe Tropical Storm (25m/s) . 8月21日18时至8月22日18时, 其Max Wind维持在28-30m/s之间, 其中8月22日12时达到生命周期内的peak intensity, max wind 为30m/s, 等级为Severe Tropical Storm. 值得注意的是, 自8月23日00时起, 随着The latitude升高至31.8°N以上, 系统Intensity急剧衰减, 由Severe Tropical Storm降格为Tropical Storm (20m/s) , 并在随后12h内进一步 weakened into Nameless (15m/s) , 最终以12m/s的wind speed结束生命史. 这种在高纬度地区快速减弱的特征, 符合热带气旋Go to 冷海水域及受垂直风切变影响后的典型热力结构崩溃过程.

Data show that the same name Typhoon in 1997 had reached the Super Typhoon level, while the 1978s, 1972s and 1969s 'Winnie' although the Severe Tropical Storm peak, but in 1966 this case did not show a stronger destruction potential, its 30m/s peak wind speed at the previous same name Typhoon at a medium down level, and due to no landfall record, did not cause direct land disaster effects.
