Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Gloria (196815) 的生命史始 at 1968年10月15日, formed at Northwest Pacific洋面 (11.6°N, 134.2°E) , 最终 at 10月24日在 (28°N, 135.4°E) 附近 weakened into Nameless并结束观测. 纵观其全生命周期, 该Typhoon 呈现出典型的“NW行后转 toward NE”的抛物线型路径特征.

In the initial phase (October 15 to October 17), the system mainly toward NW, with the latitude rising from 11.6°N rapidly to 16°N, the length oscillating between 133.2°E to 135.7°E, showing the typical characteristics of sub-tropical high-pressure guided air flows. Between October 18 and October 19th, the Typhoon reached the highest W-end Position (about 132.6°E-133°E), at which time the latitude was about 17.5°N to 20.8°N, marking the crucial node of the path toward. Subsequently, the system gradually turned to NNE to, the length from 132.6°E toward Eward back to 135.4°E, the latitude continued to push N to 28°N

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Gloria的Intensity演变经历了完整的“ formed-增强-巅峰-减弱”过程. 10月15日为Nameless (12m/s) , 随后快速增强, at 10月17日发展为Severe Tropical Storm (25m/s) , 10月18日凌晨达到Typhoon 级 (33m/s) . 其peak intensity出现在10月18日18时至10月19日12时期间, 维持Severe Typhoon intensity with max winds of 达到46m/s (观测记录显示为43m/s至46m/s区间的高值) , 此后开始缓慢减弱. 10月20日后, 随着The latitude升高和可能的垂直风切变影响, intensity 逐级下降, 依次经历Typhoon , Severe Tropical Storm, Tropical Storm阶段, 最终消散.

Compared to Gloria (Super Typhoon) in 1974 and Gloria (Severe Typhoon) in 1996, its intensity is slightly weaker or equivalent; but markedly strong at Gloria (Tropical Storm) in 1978 and Gloria (Typhoon) in 1999.
