Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Cora (196615) 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30日至31日) , 系统位 at 140°E以E, 受引导气流影响稳定 toward WN, The latitude从12.7°N迅速提升至15.4°N. Go to 9月后, Typhoon 维持WNW路径, 穿越Philippines以E海域, During从138.2°E持续W进至121.3°E附近. 值得注意的是, 该系统在9月6日到达最W端 (121.3°E, 25.5°N) 后, 路径发生显著转折, 随后加速 toward NE, 最终 at 9月9日在36.9°N, 126.2°E附近减弱消散. 全生命周期内无Landfall记录, 主要活动区域为开阔洋面及E海E部海域.

Evolution of intensity and peak state

Cora's Intensity evolution showed the characteristics of 'fast enhancement, long maintenance, rapid decline'. From Nameless to Super Typhoon in only about 2 and a half days (August 30 to September 1st) . During September 1st to September 6th, the system Long Timeined the Super Typhoon level, max wind climbing from 51m/s to peak 77m/s (August 6th 00:00) . Particularly in September 3 to September 5th, wind speed stabilized in the high range of 66-71m/s, showing extremely strong structural stability. However, once the path turned toward NEGo to higher latitudes, the intensity dropped drastically.

Comparison of Typhoon
