Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Roy (198801) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远海, 整体路径呈现显著的W行Trend, 伴随轻微的The latitude波动. formed初期 (1月5日至7日) , 系统在低纬度海域 (2.9°N-6.6°N) 活动, During在174.4°E至175°E之间小幅摆动, Moving速度较慢. 自1月8日起, 系统转 toward 稳定的W, 横穿广阔洋面. 值得注意的是, 在1月13日至14日期间, 路径出现明显的 toward S折角, 纬度从15.3°N降至13.2°N, 随后在1月15日至18日期间维持 at 12.6°N至13.9°N的狭窄纬度带内继续W行, 直至消散 at 114.5°E附近. 全生命周期长达13天, 历经52 track points, 未触及任何陆地, 属 at 典型的远洋长寿命Typhoon .

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

The system underwent a complete 'formed-explosion-maintaining-decrease' process. January 5th to 8th is a slow enhancement period, wind speed from 12m/s increased to 17m/s. January 9th to 11th Go to rapid enhancement phase, a short 48h internal wind speed from 30m/s increased to 56m/s, and at January 11th reached the Super Typhoon level. Peak stateined until January 12th, max wind to 59m/s (Note: The data table recorded 11-12th as 56m/s, but summarize to point out the peak is 59m/s, here with summary peak value as a benchmark, combined sequence viewedined at 53-56m/s high) . January 13th after Intensity began to decline, but stillined the

In 1981, Roy peaked only Severe Tropical Storm, and in 1988 Roy not only reached the Super Typhoon level, and Max Wind reached 59m/s, showing extremely strong energy accumulation and release ability.
