Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Wendy (197420) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific洋面, 整体路径呈现显著的“NW行-N折-NE转 toward ”的抛物线形态. formed初期 (9月23日至24日) , 系统自15°N, 129.5°E附近 toward NW direction稳定Moving, During从129.5°E快速W移至123.2°E, The latitude同步N抬至18.1°N, 显示出较强的引导气流作用. 9月25日至26日期间, Moving速度明显放缓, 路径在121°E至120.7°E之间近乎停滞并略微W伸, 这一阶段为系统的Intensity发展提供了有利的Time窗口.

From September 27th, Typhoon began toward NE, length from 120.6°E gradually returning to 122.4°E, marking its Go to W wind belt affected area or led by sub-tropical high pressure E retreat. After September 28th, the path further turned to NE direction, eventually at September 30th dispersed at 26.6°N, 122°E near.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

In terms of Intensity change, Wendy underwent a typical 'enhanced-top-weakening' process. The initial phase was Nameless, wind speedined at 10-12m/s. On September 25, at 00, upgraded to Tropical Storm, wind speed reached 20m/s, and for the next two days kept the Intensity stable. On September 26, at 12, the system further intensified into Severe Tropical Storm, wind speed increased to 25m/s, and at September 27, at 12 reached the peak of life history, max wind recorded 30m/s. It is worth noting that the peak stateined Time shorter, only about 12h, that is, on September 28, at 12th, the system rapidly weakened back to the Nameless level (15m/s), until then dispersed, wind speed continued

与历届同名Typhoon 相比, 1974年Wendy的Intensity相对较弱. 其peak intensity仅为Severe Tropical Storm (30m/s) , 远低 at 1968年及1971年同名Typhoon 的“Super Typhoon”级别, 也弱 at 1978年的“Typhoon ”级别. 即便与1999年的同名Typhoon (巅峰Tropical Storm) 相比, 1974年Wendy的peak intensity也略高一筹, 但整体仍属 at 中等偏弱的热气旋系统, 未对陆地造成直接冲击.
