Typhoon Violet Trail Characteristics

Track Track and Turn toward characteristics

Typhoon Violet (199616) 的生命史长达15天以上, 整体路径呈现典型的“NW行-转 toward NE”的抛物线形态. formed初期, 系统位 at Philippines以E洋面 (13.3°N, 138.4°E) , 受副热带高压S侧引导气流影响, 稳定 toward NW. 在9月9日至9月16日期间, Typhoon 中心The latitude从13.3°NN抬至19.8°N, During从138.4°EW进至126.5°E, 这一阶段路径较为平直, 逐渐逼近我国Taiwan以E海域及琉球群岛附近, 但始终保持在海上, 未发生Landfall记录.

The key shift toward point appeared on September 16 after reaching peak intensity. Subsequently, the path began toward E shift, September 17 to September 18, the center length moved from 128.3°E rapidly to 131°E, marking the system fully Go to W wind belt control zone. Since then, Typhoon accelerated toward NE, crossing Japan to E waters, and finally at September 25 in the N-W Ocean high latitude area (49.2°N, 160.6°E) weakened dispersion.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Violet's Intensity evolution experienced rapid enhancement,ining peak and slow weakening three phases. The initial phase was Nameless, wind speed only 7m/s. In the short 4 days from September 12 to September 16, the system experienced explosive enhancement, wind speed from 17m/s jumped to 66m/s, established as Super Typhoon level. September 16 00:00 for its Intensity peak time. Followed by environmental changes and the influence of cold water on N, the intensity occurred fluctuation, September 17 wind speed dropped to 51m/s, but stillined Super Typhoon level; September 18 further weakened into Typhoon level. It is worth noting that during September 19 to 22 September, despite the latitude significantly increased N, its wind speed remained between 41m/s to 46m/s

Violet in 1970 and 1976 were only at Tropical Storm and Severe Tropical Storm levels respectively, intensity weaker. although Violet in 1967 had also reached Super Typhoon level, but in 1996 Violet with 66m/s Max Wind and a half-month Active period, in the same period of the same name cycle belonged at Intensity stronger, a longer life history.
