Characteristics of Typhoon Clara

Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Clara (198420) formed at Northwest Pacific低The latitude海域, 其生命史全程未Landfall任何陆地. 从空间轨迹来看, 该Typhoon 整体呈现稳定的NW toward MovingTrend, 随后在较高纬度发生转 toward . 初始阶段 (11月14日至16日) , 系统中心从5.4°N, 156.4°E附近 toward WN direction快速Moving, During跨度显著, 表明受强盛E风气流引导. 随着纬度逐渐升高至12.5°N左右, Moving direction逐步由WN转为正N, 进而 toward NE direction延伸.

It is worth noting that during November 19 to 20, the typhoon track showed a noticeable 'climbing' characteristic. November 19 00:00 to 12:00, the latitude jumped rapidly from 16°N to 18.6°N, while the length basicallyined between 132.4°E to 132.5°E, showing that the system was almost vertical on N. After that, influenced by the W wind band, the path toward E score increased, finally at November 21 12:00 at 27.1°N, 145.7°E weakened into Severe Tropical Storm and ended the observation.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Clara's Intensity evolution underwent a typical 'fast enhancement - maintenance peak - fluctuation weakening' process. The system intensified into Tropical Storm on November 15 at 12:00, Go to fast enhancement, and in less than 3 days Time developed from Tropical Storm to Super Typhoon. November 18 at 00:00, it reached peak intensity at 12.5°N, max wind at 56m/s. Then Intensity although slightly fluctuated, but on November 19 at 12:00 and 20 at 00:00 againined the Super Typhoon level (wind speed respectively 51m/s and 53m/s), showing extremely strong core structural stability.

In the historical data provided, 1981 Clara (198116) and 1967 Clara (196704) also reached Super Typhoon level, while 1988 (198808) and 1976 Clara (197614) only reached Tropical Storm level.
