Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Niki (199612) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific低The latitude海域, 整体路径呈现显著的“W行转NW”特征. formed初期 (8月13日至15日) , 系统位 at lat 6.5°至8°N, 140°至155°之间, 受副热带高压S侧E气流引导, 保持稳定的 toward WMovingTrend. 值得注意的是, 在8月15日至16日期间, 其纬度略有N抬但During快速W进, 显示出较强的纬 toward Moving分量.

Go to August 17th, as the system N rises to lat 14° near, the path begins to have a subtle twist, Moving direction gradually shifting from W to NWW. August 18th to 21st is the crucial twist period of the path, Typhoon center at 17° to 18° intervalins a longer Time precision stationary or slow NW move, then accelerates toward NW direction through Vietnam Sea N. Finally, the system at August 23th at 20.8°N, 103.2° near weakened dispersion.

Evolution of intensity and peak state

从Intensity变化来看, Niki经历了漫长的酝酿期与快速的爆发期. 在8月13日至18日的六天内, 系统长期维持Nameless等级, wind speed在7m/s至17m/s之间波动, 表明其核心结构尚在整合之中. 真正的增强始 at 8月19日, 系统在24h内由Nameless迅速 intensified into Severe Tropical Storm (28m/s) , 并 at 次日升级为Typhoon (33m/s) .

August 21 to 22 is Niki's peak. data shows that it reached Max Wind48m/s on August 21 at 18, rated as Severe Typhoon. this high Intensityined time shorter, then influenced by environmental factors, intensity began to fluctuate. August 22 at noon wind speed dropped to 38m/s (Typhoon ), and rapidly declined in Go to the Central S Peninsula near the sea, until August 23 morning has weakened into Nameless (15m/s) , finally completely lost tropical cycling characteristics near VietnamEcoastal. compared to the other same name Typhoon , in 1996 although NikiLandfall did not, but it peaked at Severe Typhoon level, showing a typical ocean development, close to weakening the history of life on the coast.
