Track Characteristics and Moving Trends

Typhoon Roy (198111) 的生命史始 at S海NE部海域, 整体路径呈现显著的“先NE后SW”的折返特征. formed初期 (8月4日00时至5日12时) , 系统位 at lat 15°至17°N, 114°至117°之间, 主要 toward NE direction缓慢Moving, 期间经The latitude变化显示其受引导气流影响较小, Moving速度平缓. 8月5日18时至6日12时, Typhoon 继续 toward NE direction推进, 抵达lat 19.2°N, 118.8°附近, 此为路径的最N端及最E端转折点.

After reaching the extreme point of the path, the Moving direction of the system is fundamentally reversed.Since August 6, at 18:00, the Typhoon turns toward SW, and continues the Trend until it dissolves.Thro the process, the Typhoon is always active at sea, with no Landfall record.The trajectory forms a rotating structure on the map that rotates in the shape of a 'V', indicating that it has undergone a complex power adjustment process in the sub-tropical high-pressure edge or weak guided airflow field.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

从Intensity变化来看, Typhoon Roy经历了一个完整的“增强-维持-减弱”周期. 初始阶段为Nameless, max wind 12m/s. 经过约30h的缓慢加强, at 8月5日06时升级为Tropical Storm, 并在随后的一天内迅速增强. 8月6日00时, 系统达到peak intensity, 定性为Severe Tropical Storm, max wind 录得25m/s. 巅峰状态维持了约12h, 随后自8月6日18时起开始减弱, 重新降级为Tropical Storm, 并 at 8月7日06时进一步 weakened into Nameless. 此后, 系统在 toward SWMoving的过程中持续衰减, 至8月9日00时消散前, max wind 已降至10m/s.

In comparison with the same name Typhoon, the 1981 Roy and the 1988 Roy (198801) have a huge difference in intensity. in 1981 Roy only for Severe Tropical Storm intensity with max winds of 25m/s; and in 1988 Roy has evolved to Super Typhoon. This shows that despite the same name, but the different years atmospheric background and sea temperature conditions have a decisive influence on the development potential of Typhoon, in 1981 Roy belongs to the medium weak thermal cyclone system.
