Track Track and Moving Features

In 1977, the 3rd Typhoon “Sarah” formed at the Northwest Pacific surface, its life history lasted about 5 days. From the path coordinate sequence analysis, the Typhoon overall presented a stable NW toward MovingTrend, no apparent path turn or stagnation phenomenon. In the initial phase (July 16-17), the system position at the Philippines at the E surface, from Nameless rapidly evolved to Tropical Storm, along the latitude changes showed its faster toward WN direction across the sea near the Strait of the Bus. After Go to S Sea (July 18-19), the Moving direction slightly adjusted to right W toward, the latitude increase slowed significantly, indicating that the guiding flow is mainly a sub-tropical high-pressure side of the E stream.
