Track Track and Turn toward characteristics

Typhoon Kelly (198718) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“NW行—N转—NE移”的抛物线型轨迹. formed初期 (10月9日至12日) , 系统位 at 137°E附近, 受副热带高压S侧引导气流影响, 稳定 toward NW, The latitude从12.2°N缓慢爬升至16.8°N, During变化较小, 显示其横 toward Moving速度较慢.

As the system N rises to 18.9°N by N, the path gradually turns from NW to N, then completes the turn toward around October 15, starts toward NE direction accelerating Moving. This turn toward point is approximately at 25°N, 133°E near sea area. After turning toward, Typhoon Go to mid-latitude W wind band, Moving speed significantly accelerates, along the latitude range increases, and ultimately at October 17 at 36.8°N, 136°E decreases dispersion.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Kelly的Intensity演变经历了完整的“增强—巅峰—减弱”周期. 初始阶段为Nameless, wind speed15m/s. 在NW行进过程中, 系统持续加强, at 10月12日发展为Typhoon 等级 (33m/s) . Go to 转 toward 期前后, intensity 达到顶峰, 10月15日18:00录得Max Wind48m/s, 评定为Severe Typhoon. 值得注意的是, 在达到巅峰后, 系统在 toward NMoving过程中仍维持了约12h的Severe TyphoonIntensity, 直至10月16日06:00才开始明显减弱. 随后受高The latitude冷海水及风切变影响, wind speed迅速下降, 仅用不到两天Time便由Severe Typhoon weakened into Tropical Storm.

Compared with the typhoon, the 1981 Kelly (198105) peak intensity was only typhoon level, while the 1987 Kelly reached Severe Typhoon intensity with max winds of 48m/s, showing stronger explosive force and maintenance ability.
