Typhoon Carmen Route Analysis

Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Carmen (197124)'s life history is short, from formed to dispersed only about 54h. Its path overall shows a significant NW toward toward NE toward pellet-like characteristics. In the initial phase (September 24th, 06:00 to 25th, 12:00) , the system is stable toward NW, the latitude rises from 18.7°N to 25.1°N, the length moves from 137.9°EW to 132.4°E, this stage Moving path is rather flat. Subsequently, the system shows a noticeable turn toward sign between 25th, 12:00 to 18:00, the latitude rapidly jumps N to 28.4°N, while the length varies extremely small (only E0.4°E) , indicating that at this time by the influence of W wind-guided gas,

Intensity Analysis

In the first half of life history (September 24, 06:00 to 25:00) , the system has longined at the Nameless level, max wind remains between 12-15m/s, the intensity variation is weak. Until September 25, 18:00, wind speed increases to 17m/s, still belongs to the Nameless category. The real rapid improvement occurs on September 26, 00:00, at which time the system reaches peak intensity, upgrades to Severe Tropical Storm, max wind jumps to 25m/s. However, this high intensity state is extremely short, the system with rapid toward N high latitude sea area Moving, environmental conditions deteriorate, intensity then returns. In the following 12h, wind speed decreases to 23m/s and 20m/s respectively, phase-down corresponds to the T-level
