Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Fran (196706) 的生命周期始 at 1967年7月29日12时, 终 at 8月2日12时, 全程历时4天. 从空间轨迹来看, 该Typhoon formed at S海E部海域 (15.5°N, 116.3°E) , 整体呈现稳定的NW toward MovingTrend. 在初始阶段 (7月29日至30日中午) , 系统以Nameless形态 toward WN direction缓慢推进, The latitude由15.5°N升至17.0°N, During由116.3°EW移至114.1°E, Moving速度相对平缓.

Go to 7月30日傍晚至8月2日期间, 随着Intensity增强, Typhoon 维持NW, 但路径曲率略有变化, 逐渐转 toward 更偏 toward 正N的分量. 整个路径过程中未出现明显的折 toward 或回旋, track points分布较为均匀, 显示其受引导气流影响较为稳定. 值得注意的是, 该Typhoon 全程无Landfall记录, 最终在21.4°N, 111.1°E附近减弱消散, 主要活动区域集中在S海中N部开阔海面.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

在Intensity演变方面, Typhoon Fran经历了“ formed-加强-巅峰-波动减弱”的过程. 7月29日至30日中午为Nameless阶段, wind speed维持在15-17m/s. 7月30日18时升级为Tropical Storm (20m/s) , 随后迅速加强, at 7月31日00时达到Severe Tropical Storm级别. 其在7月31日06时至18时期间达到peak intensity, max wind 持续保持在30m/s, Pressure虽数据缺失, 但依据wind speed判定为Severe Tropical Storm等级.

After August 1, the intensity fluctuated, briefly weakened to Tropical Storm (23m/s), then rebounded to Severe Tropical Storm (28m/s), until the morning of August 2 began to weaken significantly, eventually downgraded to Nameless and dispersed.
