Track Track and Turn toward characteristics

Typhoon Nestor (199704) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“NW行—N转—NE移”抛物线形态. formed初期 (6月1日至6月7日) , 系统在低The latitude海域 (5°N-12°N) 缓慢 toward WN, During从171°EW退至151.8°E, 历时约7天完成初始积聚. 6月8日后, 随着纬度提升至13.7°N以上, Moving direction逐渐转为正N, 并在6月9日至6月12日期间维持稳定的NW至N toward 路径, 穿越145°E-150°E关键海域.

A significant turn toward point appeared before June 13. When the system N rose to 28°N near, the path occurred a noticeable turn to the right, from N toward to NE toward Moving. Subsequently, influenced by the W wind belt guided airflow, the Typhoon accelerated toward toward High latitude sea area moved, length from 142°E rapidly E expanded to 166.7°E, and finally at June 15 at 40°N, 166.7°E weakened dispersion.

Evolution of intensity and peak state

Nestor的Intensity演变经历了漫长的酝酿期与快速的爆发期. 前7天 (6月1日-7日) 系统维持在Nameless等级, wind speed稳定在7-17m/s之间. 6月8日增强为Severe Tropical Storm后, intensity 出现急剧跃升: 仅用24h便 at 6月9日发展为Super Typhoon, 中心Max Wind达到51m/s. 随后Intensity继续攀升, at 6月10日达到生命史巅峰, max wind 录得71m/s, 确立其Super Typhoon地位.

Peak intensityined Time longer, from June 9 to June 13, the systemined Super Typhoon level for 5 consecutive days, while wind speed although gradually decreased from 71m/s to 53m/s, but the core structure remained stable. June 14, with the system N on Go to higher latitudes (34.9°N), environmental conditions deteriorated, intensity rapidly decreased to Severe Tropical Storm, wind speed gradually decreased to 30m/s, and continued to weaken in the subsequent Moving until the end of the observation.
