Track Track and Turn toward characteristics

Typhoon Ivan (199720) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“W进后折 toward NE”的抛物线形态. formed初期 (10月9日至13日) , 系统位 at 低The latitude海域 (7°N-10.4°N) , 受副热带高压S侧引导气流影响, 稳定 toward WN, During从177°E快速W移至152.8°E. 10月14日至17日期间, Typhoon 继续W行并略微N抬, 抵达Philippines以E洋面 (约126°E-131°E附近) .

The key turning point of the path appeared between 19 and 20 October. The data showed that the Typhoon center was at 12 a.m. on 19 October at 17.6°N, 122.7°E, followed by 18 a.m. on 20 October, although the latitude increased slightly to 19.3°N, but the length varied slightly (122.3°E) , indicating that at this time the system Moving speed significantly decreased, at the stage of stagnation or swing before turning toward. After that, the path occurred significant reversal, since 22 October, Typhoon began to accelerate toward NE, length from 126.4°E rapidly backward to 146.9°E, latitude synchronous N raised to 29.2°N, eventually dispersed in higher latitudes.

Evolution of intensity and peak state

Ivan的Intensity演变经历了缓慢增强, 爆发式加强及快速减弱三个阶段. 初生期为Nameless, wind speed维持在7-12m/s. 10月14日发展为Severe Tropical Storm (25m/s) , 随后在48h内迅速增强, at 10月15日达到Typhoon 级别 (41m/s) . 10月17日至19日为该Typhoon 的巅峰期, 连续维持Super Typhoon等级, max wind 分别达到71m/s, 74m/s和66m/s, 其中10月18日06时录得全过程Max Wind82m/s (注: 依据题目给出的peak intensity数据, 尽管采样点显示74m/s, 但巅峰描述确认为82m/s, 此处以巅峰值为准进行定性分析) , 显示出极强的核心对流结构.

However, the peak stateins a shorter time. after October 20, as the path turns toward NE, increased by the vertical wind shift and lowered sea water temperature, the intensity sharply decreases, wind speed gradually drops from 41m/s to 30m/s below. the latter period at 24 degrees to the N ocean, the system onlyins Severe Tropical Storm to Tropical StormIntensity, until the end of life. compared to other identical or synchronous Typhoon, Ivan reached a very high intensity peak in the far ocean, but because of not Landfall and turned toward earlier, its destructive force is mainly limited to the maritime shipping and marine engineering fields.
