Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Amy (197402) 的生命周期始 at 1974年3月13日, formed at Northwest Pacific低The latitude海域 (8.1°N, 145°E) , 初始状态为Nameless. 在生命史的前半段, 该系统主要呈现 toward WN direction的MovingTrend. 从3月13日至3月16日, 其Center由145°E逐渐W移至136.3°E附近, 纬度缓慢N抬至11.5°N, 表明其受低层引导气流影响, 稳定 toward Philippines以E洋面靠近.

The system completed the turn toward near 136.3°E, then began toward NE. This turn toward point marks its departure from the near-equator W wind belt or sub-tropical high-pressure S-side stable guidance, Go to mid-latitude W wind belt affected area. After that, the typhoon track showed a typical rolling line shape, rapid length E movement, from 136.6°E road toward E spread to 177°E, the latitude also synchronized from 13.4°N rapidly to 32°N. The entire Moving process did not touch any land, the entire course operated on the open ocean, no land record.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

In terms of Intensity changes, Typhoon Amy showed the characteristics of 'first maintenance, after enhancement'. In the W-line phase from March 13 to March 16, the system Intensity longined in Nameless intensity with max winds of remaining at 12m/s, developing relatively slow. until March 17, as the path turned toward NE, wind speed began to gradually increase, from 15m/s to 17m/s. On March 18, at 00, the system officially upgraded to Tropical Storm (20m/s) , and the subsequent toward Moving fluctuations intensified. It is worth noting that at March 19, at 12th, the intensity had briefly fallen to Nameless (17m/s), but soon in March 20, again intensified into Tropical Storm, and finally at 32100 at 32°N, 177°E

Compared to the previously named Typhoon, Amy's intensity was at a medium low level in 1974. Compared to the 1991 Amy (199107) and 1971 Amy (197104) the two powerful systems reached the 'Super Typhoon' level, Amy's peak intensity was significantly weaker in 1974. at the same time, its intensity was slightly higher at 1994 Amy (199411) and 1977 Amy (197707)'s 'Tropical Storm' level.
