Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Alice (197901) formed at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 初始Position位 at 2.5°N, 170.7°E. 从路径采样数据来看, 该Typhoon 整体呈现稳定的W行Trend, 伴随轻微的N抬分量. 在生命史初期 (1月1日至1月4日) , 系统主要 toward NW, The latitude从2.5°N上升至9.2°N, During由170.7°E缓慢W移至168°E, 期间存在短暂的经度停滞现象. 1月5日后, Typhoon 转 toward 正W direction加速Moving, 经度跨度显著增大, 从165.1°E迅速W进至136°E附近. 整个过程中, Typhoon 未出现明显的路径转折或回旋, 始终保持在低纬度海域活动, 最终在16°N, 136°E附近消散. 值得注意的是, 全生命周期内无Landfall记录, 属 at 典型的远洋型typhoon track.

Intensity Evolution and Double Peak Structure

Alice's Intensity changes showed significant 'double peak' characteristics and sharp volatility. The system formed rapidly enhanced, from Nameless (10m/s) developed to Severe Tropical Storm, and at January 6 upgraded to Typhoon . January 8, Typhoon reached the first Intensity peak, max wind recorded 56m/s, max windm/s, rated as Super Typhoon level. Subsequently, Intensity appeared significantly backwards, January 9 to 10 weakened into Typhoon level (41m/s-38m/s) . However, the system re-strengthened on January 11 and January 12 again reached Super Typhoon standard, max 51m/s, forming a second Intensity peak. Then, Typhoon Go to rapidly weakened phase, January
