Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Zita (199713) 的生命史始 at S海E部海域, 整体路径呈现显著的“NW行转W行”特征. formed初期 (8月19日至20日) , 系统位 at lat 16.9°至19.6°N, 115°至117.3°之间, 主要 toward NW direction缓慢Moving. 值得注意的是, 在8月20日12:00至18:00期间, 其During从117.2°E略微回撤至116.7°E, 显示出短暂的 toward W调整或停滞迹象.

Starting from lat 20° near, the system continues toward W through the Vietnam Sea N part, until Go to the Mid-S Peninsula E coastal region. Thro the Moving, the latitude changes are relatively slow, from the initial 16.9°N gradually N to the final 22.8°N, while the length is significantly W shift, from 115°E to 102.9°E, the level span is more than 12 lengths.

Intensity Evolution and Life Cycle

Zita的Intensity演变经历了完整的“ formed-加强-巅峰-减弱”过程. 初始阶段为Nameless, max wind 维持在12-17m/s. 8月21日00:00, wind speed增至20m/s, 升级为Tropical Storm; 随后12h内迅速增强, at 21日12:00达到Severe Tropical Storm级别 (25m/s) .

On August 22, at 00:00, wind speed jumped to 33m/s, officially reaching Typhoon level; after only 6h (22 June 06:00), max wind reached a peak of 38m/s, andined about 30h on this Intensity (until 23 June 00:00), showing that the peak Intensity has better stability.

The weakening process began at 06:00 on August 23, wind speed gradually dropped to 28m/s, declined to Severe Tropical Storm. Subsequently the system rapidly declined, at 12:00 has weakened into Nameless (15m/s) , Finally at 23:00 in Vietnam by E dispersed, the entire course lasted about 4 and a half days.
