Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Pamela (197220) at 1972年11月3日在Northwest Pacific洋面 formed, 初始Position位 at lat 14°N, 140°附近. 在其生命史初期, 系统呈现稳定的W行Trend, 从11月3日至11月6日期间, The latitude基本维持在12°N至14°N之间, During由140°E快速W移至116.2°E, 横跨Philippines以E广阔海域. 这一阶段路径平直, 未出现明显的SN摆动.

Go to November 7th, typhoon track occurred a significant shift. As the system approached Shae N and Scoastal, its Moving direction gradually shifted from W to NW, then further shifted toward NE. Specifically, November 7th, 00 to 8th, Typhoon center rose from lat 15.2°N to 18.6°, length continued to W to 110.6°E; and on November 8th, 12th, the path clearly shifted toward NE, finally at November 9th, 18th in Taiwan with the E ocean weakened dispersed.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Pamela的Intensity变化呈现出“快速增强—巅峰维持—迅速减弱”的典型特征. formed初期为Nameless, 11月4日 intensified into Tropical Storm并很快发展为Typhoon . 在11月5日至6日期间, intensity 在Typhoon 级 (33-38m/s) 波动. 关键的爆发性增强发生在11月7日, wind speed从38m/s骤升至48m/s, 并 at 当日12时达到Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of 录得51m/s. 巅峰状态持续至11月8日00时, 随后受环境因素影响, intensity 急剧下降, 12h内wind speed由51m/s跌至33m/s, 并在24h内 weakened into Nameless.

It peaked at Super Typhoon level (56m/s for maximum full range, observation peak point peak 51m/s), with the 1961s, 1976s and 1982s Pamela Typhoon belonged to high intensity ladder. In comparison, in 1979 Pamela only reached Tropical Storm level, intensity significantly weak.
