Typhoon Elsie Trail Characteristics

Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Elsie (196617)'s history began at 11 September 1966, at 18:00, at the initial Position position at lat 18.7°N, 118° near the Tropical Storm phase. During the formed early to 13 September, the system as a whole presented a slow W-line or WNWMoving Trend, with latitudes starting to rebound from 18.7°N to 17.7°N, and length swinging between 117.4°E and 118.3°E, showing the characteristics of relatively weak guiding gas flows or at a sedimentary field.

After 06:00 on September 13, as Intensity elevated to Typhoon level, the path turning toward was obvious, beginning to stabilize toward NE. From the coordinate sequence visible, the system's center latitude continued to rise N, the length rapidly E shift. Especially between 06:00 on September 15 and 06:00 on September 16, the length jumped rapidly from 118.2°E to 121.8°E, indicating that at this time Typhoon Go to acceleration period, was significantly enhanced by the wind belt or sub-tropical high-pressure marginal flow guided by the wind. Thro the life cycle, the Typhoon did not landfall any land, and finally at 29°N, 128.9° near weakened into Nameless and ended observation, throughout the cycle of maritime activity.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Elsie的Intensity演变呈现出典型的“快速增强-巅峰维持-迅速减弱”特征. 从9月11日的20m/sTropical Storm起步, 系统在约48h内迅速加强, at 9月14日18时达到Super Typhoon级别 (51m/s) . peak intensity出现在9月15日06时至18时, max wind 维持在59m/s, 并在这一高Intensity状态下保持了至少12h. 然而, Go to 9月16日后, 随着路径 toward 高The latitude海域延伸, 环境条件恶化, intensity 急剧下滑. 仅12h内, wind speed从59m/s骤降至41m/s, 随后持续减弱, 至生命末期已降为17m/s的Nameless.

The data show that in 1992, 1989 and 1981 the same-name Typhoon had reached Super Typhoon level, while in 1988 the same-name Typhoon developed only to Nameless. in contrast, in 1966, Elsie with 59m/s Max Wind was in the Severe Typhoon line, its Intensity level is equivalent to the Severe Typhoon of the majority in history named 'Elsie', notably better at 1988 weak case, reflecting the higher probability characteristics of the Severe Typhoon formed under the sequence of the name.
