Track Track and Turn toward characteristics

The life cycle of Typhoon Shirley (197418) began at 3 September 1974, ended at 11 September, without landfall on any land. From the path coordinate sequence analysis, the Typhoon formed in the early months of September 3 to 4 mainly showing the trend toward NW, the latitude slowly rising from 23.8°N to 25.2°N, the length moving from 129.2°EE to 130.1°E nearby.

The key turn toward point appeared between September 7th and 8th. September 7th, 00:00, the Typhoon center at 28.1°N, 127.8°E, then continued to N to 28.9°N. However, since September 8th, 00:00, the path took a significant turn, the system began to accelerate toward NEward, the length from 128.1°E rapid toward E spread to 130.3°E, and eventually deep into the high latitudes after September 9th.
