Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Orchid (198701) 的生命史始 at 1987年1月6日, formed at Northwest Pacific低The latitude海域 (5.8°N, 162.4°E) . 从路径采样数据来看, 该Typhoon 整体呈现稳定的NW toward MovingTrend, 未出现明显的路径转折或回旋现象. 在 formed初期 (1月6日至1月8日) , 系统主要 toward WN direction缓慢Moving, 纬度从5.8°N微升至7.2°N, During则由162.4°E快速W移至150.6°E, 显示出较强的W风引导气流影响. Go to 成熟期后 (1月9日至1月11日) , 随着Intensity增强, 其Moving速度略有加快, 持续 toward NW direction推进, 直至1月11日到达最N端纬度10.8°N, 最W端经度135.8°E附近. 此后, 系统开始转 toward SW, 纬度逐渐S落, 最终 at 1月14日在6.8°N, 129.9°E weakened into Nameless并结束监测. 全生命周期内无Landfall记录, 始终在开阔洋面上活动.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Orchid的Intensity演变经历了典型的“ formed-加强-巅峰-减弱”过程. 1月6日至1月9日, 系统由Nameless逐步发展为Tropical Storm, max wind 从10m/s增至20m/s. 1月10日是其快速增强期, 短短12h内由Severe Tropical Storm (28m/s) 跃升为Typhoon (38m/s) . 1月11日00:00, Typhoon 达到peak intensity, 定性为Severe Typhoon, max wind 录得48m/s. 然而, 巅峰状态维持Time极短, 仅12h后wind speed便回落至41m/s, 随后Go to 波动减弱阶段. 值得注意的是, 在1月12日至13日期间, intensity 出现短暂反弹, 由Severe Tropical Storm再次 intensified into Typhoon (33m/s) , 但随后迅速衰减, 至1月14日消散时wind speed降至15m/s.

The data show that the 1994 Orchid (199427) and the 1991 Orchid (199121) both reached the Super Typhoon level, while the 1980 Orchid (198013) was also the Severe Typhoon.
