Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Flossie (197212) 的生命史始 at 1972年9月9日00时, formedPosition为lat 14.5°N, 125.7°. 从整体路径来看, 该Typhoon 呈现出稳定的W行Trend, 横跨S海N部海域, 最终 at 9月18日12时在接近中S半岛E部海域 (lat 15.4°N, 101.2°) 消散, 全程未Landfall任何陆地. 在Moving direction上, Typhoon 初期 (9月9日至11日) 主要维持纬 toward toward WMoving, The latitude基本保持在14.5°N至14.8°N之间窄幅波动. Go to S海中部后 (9月12日至14日) , 路径出现微弱的SN摆动, 先略微N抬至15.6°N, 随后又S落至14.5°N, 显示出引导气流的不稳定性. 9月15日后, 系统再次呈现缓慢N抬Trend, 直至生命末期稳定 at 15°附近W行. 整个路径跨度极大, During从125.7°E延伸至101.2°E, 水平位移显著, 体现了长寿命热带气旋在广阔洋面上的典型W行特征.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

在Intensity变化方面, Flossie经历了“增强-波动-巅峰-迅速减弱”的过程. 初始阶段为Nameless, 9月10日 intensified into Tropical Storm. 值得注意的是, 9月11日其Intensity曾短暂回落至Nameless (17m/s) , 但随后迅速重新组织, at 9月13日发展为Severe Tropical Storm, 并在9月14日06时达到Typhoon 级别 (33m/s) . 巅峰状态维持至9月15日18时, max wind 达35m/s, 随后Intensity急剧衰减, 9月16日中午即降级为Nameless, 并在剩余生命期内维持弱势直至消散.

Compared to the same name History, the 1972 Flossie peak intensity (Typhoon level, 35m/s) is preferred at 1969 (Severe Tropical Storm) and 1961 (Tropical Storm) the same name system, but at the same level as the 1975 and 1964 Typhoon peak intensity at the same level.
