Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Joel (199116) 的生命史始 at 1991年9月1日00时, formed at Philippines以E洋面 (18.7°N, 125.9°E) . 在初始阶段, 该系统呈现稳定的W行Trend. 从9月1日至9月4日, 其The latitude基本维持在18.7°N至20°N之间, During由125.9°E快速W移至115.7°E, 表明受副热带高压S侧E气流引导, 主体沿纬 toward toward W穿Vietnam海N部海域.

The system stagnated briefly near 114.8°E and subsequently moved toward NE. During the period from September 6 to 7, Typhoon's central latitude rapidly climbed from 20.5°N to 25.5°N, and the length of E retreated to 114°E. This change of path from 'pure W' to 'NW-NE toward' usually suggested that the W-belt line approached or sub-high-belt line E retreated, resulting in a change in guiding air flow.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Joel's Intensity development showed the characteristics of 'slow enhancement, rapid decline'. the system was initially nameless, max wind of only 5m/s. In the W line, the intensity gradually accumulated, until September 5 at 12 am officially upgraded to Tropical Storm (20m/s) . Its peak appeared at September 6 at 12 am, reaching Severe Tropical Storm intensity with max winds of recorded 28m/s, at this time the center position at 22.6°N, 115.3°E. It is worth noting that at the peak only 12h, that is September 7:00, its Intensity step dropped to Nameless (17m/s), showing that in the process of turning toward N suffered a strong vertical cut or cold air invasion, resulting in a rapid collapse

By contrast, Joel in 1991 reached Severe Tropical Storm intensity with max winds of higher than 8m/s, the overall intensity is more remarkable.
