Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Wendy (196811) 的生命史始 at 1968年8月28日06:00, formed at Northwest Pacific洋面 (16.3°N, 149°E) , 初始状态为Nameless. 在随后的Moving过程中, 该Typhoon 整体呈现稳定的WNTrend. 从8月28日至9月1日, 系统中心The latitude由16.3°N迅速N抬至21.5°N, During则由149°EW进至138.2°E, 显示出较强的 toward W推进动力.

It is worth noting that after Go to September, the Typhoon's Moving path was subtly adjusted. During the period from September 2 to September 3, the latitude remained between 22.8°N to 22.6°N, the length continued to shift significantly, indicating that at this time the system was mainly influenced by the guided airflow toward W. Then, from September 4, the Typhoon center latitude fell slightly S and remained within the narrow bandwidth of 21°N to 22°N, until September 9 dispersed at 107°E nearby.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Wendy的Intensity演变经历了快速增强, 巅峰维持及缓慢减弱三个阶段. formed初期, 系统在24h内由Nameless (17m/s) 迅猛发展为Typhoon (38m/s) , 并 at 8月30日达到Super Typhoon级别 (56m/s) . 8月31日, 其Max Wind攀升至69m/s, 接近巅峰状态. 9月1日虽wind speed略降至59m/s, 但仍维持Super Typhoon等级. 数据显示, 其peak intensity可达71m/s, 属 at 极强的热带气旋系统.

从9月2日起, 随着系统持续W移, intensity 开始逐步衰减. 由Super Typhoon降为Severe Typhoon (9月3日, 46m/s) , 进而 weakened into Typhoon (9月5日, 38m/s) 及Severe Tropical Storm (9月6日, 30m/s) . 至生命末期9月9日, 系统退化为Nameless (17m/s) 并 was numbered off.

In 1999, the same name Typhoon peak intensity was only at Tropical Storm, Severe Tropical Storm or Typhoon level, only in 1971 Wendy had also reached Super Typhoon level.
