Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Elsie (197211) 的生命史始 at 1972年8月30日12时, formedPosition位 at lat 12°N, 123°附近的Nameless区. 在初始阶段, 系统呈现明显的NW toward MovingTrend, 从Philippines以E洋面快速穿Vietnam海N部. 根据坐标序列分析, 该Typhoon 在8月30日至9月1日期间, The latitude由12°N迅速N抬至15.7°N, During则由123°EW进至113°E, 显示出较强的 toward W分量与 toward N分量的合成运动特征.

It is worth noting that after the system reached lat 16.2°N, near 111.5° on 2 September at 00, there was a subtle change in Moving direction. Subsequently the path turned to W or SW, the latitude gradually S dropped, from 16.2°N to 14.1°N on 6 September, while the length continued W shifted until 100.8°E. This former NW line, after turning toward the SW line, showed that it was significantly affected by the adjustment of the sub-tropical high-pressure spine position or surrounding guiding gas flow.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

在Intensity演变方面, Elsie经历了典型的“快速增强-维持巅峰-逐渐减弱”过程. 系统从8月30日的12m/sNameless起步, 仅用不到两天Time, at 9月1日12时 intensified into Typhoon (33m/s) , 并在9月2日00时达到peak intensity, max wind 录得38m/s. 此后近48h内, 中心附近Max Wind在33m/s至38m/s之间波动, 显示出Typhoon 结构的相对稳定期. 自9月4日12时起, intensity 急剧下滑, 降格为Tropical Storm, 并最终在9月5日00时后 weakened into Nameless, 直至生命结束.

The data show that in 1981, 1989 and 1992 the same name Typhoon both reached the peak of 'Super Typhoon', while in 1972 Elsie only for the ordinary 'Typhoon' intensity with max winds of 38m/s very low at the subsequent year of the same name extreme intensity performance.
