Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Ora (197202) at 1972年6月22日在Northwest Pacific洋面 formed, 初始Position位 at lat 10.5°N, 137.5°附近. 在其生命史初期, 系统呈现明显的W toward MovingTrend, 从 formed至6月24日期间, The latitude变化较小, 主要沿纬圈 toward W穿越Philippines以E海域. 随着系统逐渐接近S海N部, 其Moving路径发生显著转折. 自6月25日起, Typhoon 中心开始 toward NW, 并在随后几天内持续 toward N推进, 最终深入China内陆地区. 整个路径呈现出典型的“W进后N折”形态, 未出现Landfall记录, 但路径末端延伸至lat 30.5°的高纬度地区, 显示其受W风带引导气流影响显著. 从坐标序列来看, 6月25日至26日是路径转 toward 的关键时段, During从116.8°E迅速W移至112.7°E的同时, 纬度由16.7°N大幅N抬至19.1°N, 标志着Moving主导 direction由 toward W转为 toward N.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

在Intensity演变方面, Ora经历了快速增强至巅峰而后逐渐衰减的过程. formed初期为Nameless, wind speed12m/s; 仅用时约两天半, 至6月24日06:00便 intensified into Typhoon 级别, wind speed达到35m/s. 随后在6月25日18:00达到生命史中的peak intensity, max wind 录得41m/s, 维持Typhoon 等级. 值得注意的是, 在巅峰过后, 系统Intensity并未立即崩溃, 而是在N上过程中波动减弱, 6月26日仍保持35m/s的Typhoon Intensity. Go to 6月27日后, 随着The latitude进一步升高及可能的陆地摩擦或干空气卷入, intensity 迅速下滑, 降格为Tropical Storm, 并最终在6月28日 weakened into Nameless, 直至6月30日消散时wind speed仅剩5m/s.

Compared with the previous Typhoon, 1972 Ora's peak intensity (41m/s, Typhoon) was weak at 1968 (Super Typhoon), 1978 and 1966 (both Severe Typhoon), and 1975 (Typhoon) was at the same level.
