Typhoon Flossie Trail Characteristics

Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Flossie (196912) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific洋面, 整体路径呈现显著的“NW-转 toward NE”抛物线型特征. formed初期 (9月30日至10月2日) , 系统受副热带高压引导, 稳定 toward NW, The latitude从15.7°N迅速N抬至22.2°N, During则由129°EW进至121.7°E, 逼近Taiwan以E海域但未Landfall. 10月2日06:00左右, 系统在22.2°N, 121.7°E附近达到最W端, 随后路径发生关键转折. 10月3日起, Moving direction逐渐转为N及NE, 经度开始 toward E回撤. 10月6日后, 系统加速 toward NE, 穿越琉球群岛以E海域Go to 开阔大洋. 最终 at 10月10日在43°N, 164°E附近减弱消散. 全生命周期内, 该Typhoon 未对陆地造成直接Landfall影响, 主要活动区域集中在海上.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

在Intensity变化方面, Flossie呈现“快速增强-维持巅峰-波动减弱-再增强-最终消散”的非典型过程. 初始阶段wind speed由25m/s增至30m/s, at 10月1日至2日维持Severe Tropical Storm级别 (Max Wind30m/s) 的巅峰状态. 随后Intensity短暂回落至Tropical Storm甚至Nameless标准 (最低15m/s) . 值得注意的是, 系统在10月7日后出现二次增强迹象, wind speed回升至23-25m/s, 并在高The latitude地区 (31°N以N) 再次达到Severe Tropical StormIntensity, 直至10月10日在高纬冷海区 weakened into Nameless.

Data showed that the same-name Typhoon peak intensity in 1961, 1964, 1972 and 1975 reached Typhoon or higher levels, while Flossie in 1969 only for Severe Tropical Storm, max wind 30m/s. This suggests that in the same name sequence, the 1969 process was at Intensity weaker, mainly affecting the surface of the ocean, its later life reinforcement phenomenon although characteristic, but failed to change its overall Intensity less than the annual average objective fact.
