Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Frankie (199606) 的生命周期始 at S海中部海域, 整体呈现稳定的NW toward MovingTrend. formed初期 (7月19日至20日) , 系统在16°N至17°NThe latitude带附近徘徊, During在113.8°E至115.7°E之间小幅摆动, 显示出初始阶段引导气流较弱或存在多股气流博弈的特征. 自7月21日起, 路径趋 at 稳定, 持续 toward NW direction推进, 穿Vietnam海W部海域.

From coordinate sequence analysis, the Typhoon did not show any apparent path turn toward or turn phenomenon, Moving trajectory smooth. its final dispersal at July 25 at Central S Peninsula near the inland (22.5°N, 100.3°E) , the entire course without landfall records. such marine completion formed, developed to the peak and rapidly weakened the dispersal process, indicating that it was largely driven by large-scale environmental fields, without significant interference by complex terrain or near coast friction until the end of life.

Intensity Evolution and Life Cycle

Frankie's Intensity evolution has a typical 'fast enhancement, rapid weakening' characteristic. The system was initially Nameless, max wind only 7m/s. During July 21 to 23, with toward NWMoving, intensity steadily increased, from Nameless developed to Tropical Storm, and then upgraded to Severe Tropical Storm.

After 00:00 on July 24, the intensity rapidly declined, the 12h wind speed dropped to 33m/s (Typhoon), then further weakened into Tropical Storm. by July 25, the system completely weakened into Nameless and eventually dissolved.

Historical Comparison Summary

As the 6th Typhoon in 1996, Frankie at Intensity reached Severe Typhoon level (46m/s) . Compared to at the same year other likely to affect Similar waters of Typhoon , which is characterized by at Landfall that reaches higher Intensity, and completed a complete life cycle in the sea. at by the lack of specific air pressure data (marked as-hPa) , only based on wind speed judgment, its peak intensity in the Northwest Pacific and the sea formed Typhoon intermediate at medium upper level, but its short peak maintenance period and rapid decline process is its notable meteorological characteristics.
