Track Track and Turn toward characteristics

Typhoon Peke (198716) 的生命史始 at 国际日期变更线W侧的远洋海域, 整体路径呈现显著的“NW行进后折返SE”的抛物线形态. formed初期 (9月28日12时) , 系统位 at 24.4°N, 179.4°E, 随后稳定 toward NW. 在9月28日至9月30日期间, Typhoon 中心The latitude从24.4°N迅速N抬至30.2°N, During由179.4°EW移至169.9°E, 显示出强劲的NW推进动力.

The crucial turning point of the path appeared between 18h on September 30th and 1h on October 1st. During this period, the Typhoon N slowed significantly, and reached the most N-end position near 31.4°N, 169°E. Subsequently, influenced by high-altitude guided airflow changes, the system began toward ES direction to rotate. After 12h on October 1st, the path turned completely to SE toward, finally at 3h on 18h at 28°N, 175.1°E. Thro the life cycle, the Typhoon was always active on the ocean, without landfall records, without direct impact on land.

Intensity evolution and peak maintenance

Peke's Intensity variation has the typical Typhoon characteristics of 'fast enhancement, long time maintenance, slow weakening'.From formed Typhoon level (38m/s) to developing into Super Typhoon, only 12h.On September 29, at 00, its Max Wind reached 51m/s, establishing Super Typhoon status.It is worth noting that the Intensity platform period is unusually lasting, from September 29, 00 to 12h, for up to 36h Max Wind isined at a peak of 51m/s, showing its core structure hasined extremely high stability in a suitable ocean temperature and low vertical wind cut environment.

Intensity decline began at September 30 at 18, as the system N went to higher latitude waters, the max wind dropped to 48m/s, declined to Severe Typhoon. Then, the intensity declined steadily: October 1 at 06 to Typhoon level, October 2 at 06 further weakened into Severe Tropical Storm, until October 3 at 06 became Nameless. Compared to other homonymous or synchronous Typhoon, Pekepeak performed outstanding on the maintenance length of intensity, but its life history was relatively short, from formed to dispersed only about 5 and a half days, belonging to the typical fast-growing remote Severe Typhoon.
