Track Track and Turn toward characteristics

Typhoon Judy (197910) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“NW行后转NE”的抛物线形态. formed初期 (8月15日至17日) , 系统位 at 10.5°N, 151°E附近, 受副热带高压S侧引导气流影响, 稳定 toward NW. 随着The latitude升高, 其Moving路径逐渐 toward WN调整, at 8月20日前后抵达21.3°N, 133.8°E附近, 此时达到路径的最W端.

Subsequently, influenced by the mid-latitude W wind barrier pre-airflow and sub-high E retreat, the Typhoon occurred a significant turn toward near 24°N. Starting on August 21, the Moving direction turned from NW to NE, accelerating toward Japan to S ocean shift. Thro the process, the Typhoon did not landfall any land, always at sea activity, and finally at August 26, at 34.4°N, 128.5°E weakened into Nameless and ended the monitoring.
