Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Susan (197204) 的生命史始 at Philippines以E洋面, 整体路径呈现显著的“NW行进—近海徘徊—转 toward N上”的复杂形态. formed初期 (7月5日至7月8日) , 系统自11.4°N, 126.4°E toward NW direction快速Moving, 横穿Philippines群岛附近海域Go to S海NE部. 在此期间, 其The latitude迅速N抬至19.4°N, DuringW进至117.7°E, 显示出受副热带高压S侧引导气流影响的典型特征.

During the period from July 9 to July 13, the Typhoon Go to Intensity fluctuations and path adjustment phase. The system occurred several small twists toward within the narrow waters of 20°N-22°N, 116°E-117°E, Moving speed significantly slowed, showing a precision stagnation or rotation state. This phase of latitude variation was very small, indicating that the large-scale environment field guided flux was weak, or there was multi-system interaction. After July 14, as the system was re-guided, the path turned to NE, and finally at July 16 at 31°N, 114°E weakened dispersion. The full life cycle lasted up to 11.5 days, and the entire land recorded nofall, the main area of activity was concentrated in S SeaN and ChinaSE

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

从Intensity演变来看, Susan经历了完整的“ formed—增强—巅峰—减弱”过程. 初始阶段为Nameless, wind speed10m/s; 经过约3天的持续加强, at 7月8日升级为Tropical Storm, 随后迅速增强为Severe Tropical Storm. 7月11日00:00, 系统在21°N, 116.5°E达到peak intensity, max wind 录得33m/s, 定级为Typhoon . 值得注意的是, 巅峰维持Time较短, 仅18h后便 weakened into Severe Tropical Storm, 随后进一步降级. 7月14日曾出现短暂的Intensity反弹 (25m/s) , 但随即迅速衰减, 最终在N上过程中 weakened into Nameless并消散.

与同名History相比, 1972年Susan的peak intensity (Typhoon 级, 33m/s) 高 at 1984年Susan (Tropical Storm), 与1966年及1988年的同名Typhoon (均为Typhoon )处 at 同一量级. 然而, 1972年Susan的独特之处在 at 其近海徘徊Time长且未Landfall, 这与部分直接Landfall或快速过境的同名Typhoon 形成了鲜明的路径差异.
