Track Track and Turn toward characteristics

Typhoon Tom (199617) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“NW—NE”抛物线型Moving特征. formed初期 (9月8日至12日) , 系统位 at 低The latitude洋面, 受副热带高压S侧E气流引导, 稳定 toward NW, 纬度从10.9°N逐步N抬至16.1°N, During由161.8°EW进至148.5°E. 9月13日至15日期间, Moving direction发生微妙变化, 路径转为N并 toward W微调, at 9月15日到达最W端Position (144.3°E) , 此时纬度约为20.6°N, 标志着系统Go to 转 toward 前的关键过渡期.

After September 16, as the latitude further increased to 22.3°N above, the system began to significantly turn toward NE. This turn toward process was smooth and continuous, with no sharp reversal or stagnation. Then, Typhoon accelerated toward NE direction deep into the mid-high latitude, length from 146°E rapidly moved to 174.7°E, latitude spread to 44°N. The entire pathway range is extremely large, covering a wide range of waters from tropical to low latitude high latitude, with no landfall record, belonging to the typical ocean typhoon track.

Intensity Evolution and Life Cycle

Tom的Intensity演变经历了完整的“ formed—增强—巅峰—减弱”过程. 初始阶段为Nameless, wind speed维持在7-15m/s. 9月13日升级为Tropical Storm, 随后在48h内快速加强, at 9月15日达到Typhoon 级别 (33m/s) . 9月16日06:00, 系统在22.3°N, 146°E附近达到生命史巅峰, max wind 录得38m/s. 值得注意的是, 数据中最低气压字段缺失, 仅能依据wind speed判断其Intensity等级.

The peakined a shorter time, after only about 24h, Intensity began to fluctuate since September 17th. September 18th declined to Severe Tropical Storm (28m/s) , and continued to weaken during the subsequent N. Despite Go to High latitude cold water zone, the systemined a 23m/s Tropical StormIntensity between September 19th and 22nd, showing a certain resilience. Finally at September 22nd 12:00 at 44°N, 174.7°E. Compared to at other same name Typhoon, 1996 Tom did not reach the Super Typhoon level, but its 14-day history of life and stable evolution, reflects the typical characteristics of Northwest Pacific Typhoon activity that year.
