Characteristics of Typhoon Virginia

Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Virginia (197120) 的生命周期始 at 1971年9月2日00时, formedPosition位 at lat 18.6°N, 138.5°附近的热带洋面. 在初始阶段, 系统呈现缓慢的NW toward MovingTrend, 至9月3日中午前, 其The latitude从18.6°NN抬至20.9°N, During由138.5°EW移至137.9°E, 整体移速较缓且路径相对平直. 随着系统 toward N推进, Moving direction逐渐转为N, 并在9月4日至9月5日期间维持稳定的NNW路径. 值得注意的是, 该Typhoon 全程未Landfall任何陆地, 始终在开阔洋面上活动. Go to 生命后期, 受中高纬度W风带引导气流影响, 路径出现明显的NE toward 转折. 自9月6日起, 系统加速 toward NE, 经度从136.3°E迅速E扩至139.4°E, 纬度亦突破30°N大关, 最终 at 9月7日12时 at 33.8°N, 139.4°附近减弱并结束观测记录. 整体路径呈现典型的“NW行-转 toward NE”的抛物线型特征.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

在Intensity变化方面, Virginia经历了完整的“增强-巅峰-减弱”过程. 初期作为Tropical Storm formed后, 曾短暂 weakened into Nameless (17m/s) , 随后迅速重新组织并加强. 9月4日06时升级为Typhoon 级别, 此后Go to 快速增强期, 仅用18h便从Typhoon (33m/s) 跃升至Super Typhoon (51m/s) , 并 at 9月5日00时达到生命周期中的Intensity巅峰. 巅峰过后, 系统开始持续减弱, 但即便在转 toward NE后的较高The latitude海域, 其Intensity仍维持在Typhoon 级别 (35-41m/s) 直至消散, 显示出较强的结构稳定性.

Compared to the same name History, the 1971 Virginia Intensity was significantly higher at other years record. 1963 the same name Typhoon only reached Severe Tropical Storm level, 1960 and 1978 the same name Typhoon only Severe Typhoon and Typhoon level respectively.
