Analysis of Typhoon Iris

Path and Moving Character Analysis

Typhoon Iris (196710)'s life history is short, from formed to dispersed only about 36h. According to the observation data, the system as a whole presents a stable NW toward MovingTrend, with no apparent path shift or stagnation. Starting at 15 August 1967 at 00:00 in the S Sea Sea (20°N, 115.2°E) , its Center continues toward NW direction deviation with Time. During the initial 12h, the length changes significantly, from 115.2°EW rapidly to 113.1°E, indicating that the initial guided airflow is affected by greater, Moving speed faster. Following, although the latitude continues to slowly rise N to 22°N, but the latitude W shift is gradually narrowing, eventually at 12 August at 22°

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

In terms of Intensity changes, Iris underwent a typical 'enhancing-maintaining-weakening' process. Initial phase is Nameless, max wind 12m/s; after 6h development, wind speed increased to 15m/s; by August 15th at 12 a.m., the system intensified into Tropical Storm, reached peak intensity, max wind recorded 20m/s. After about 12h, intensityined at Tropical Storm level (20m/s) , no further explosive improvement has been seen.

The historical records show that the same name Typhoon in 1970, 1973 and 1976 both reached the level of Typhoon and above, of which the Iris in 1970 also reached the Super Typhoon Intensity.
