Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Prapiroon (200012) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific洋面, 整体路径呈现典型的“NW行转NE”抛物线形态. formed初期 (8月24日至26日) , 系统位 at 低The latitude海域, 主要 toward NW, During从137.9°EW移至131.7°E, 纬度由7.8°NN抬至18.1°N. 8月27日至29日期间, Moving direction逐渐转为N, 并在接近25°N附近时开始显现转 toward Trend. 8月30日后, 受中高纬度W风带引导, 气旋加速 toward NE, 经度由123.7°E迅速E扩至134.9°E, 纬度则大幅N进至43.7°N. 整个过程中, Typhoon 未Landfall任何陆地, 始终在海上活动, 最终 at Japan以E海域转化为温带气旋或消散.

Intensity Analysis

The Typhoon's Intensity development has obvious phase characteristics. The initial phaseins the Nameless level, wind speed fluctuates between 10-17m/s, lasting about 5 days. August 29th 00, the system at 24°N, 125.5°E near rapidly enhanced to Severe Tropical Storm (28m/s) . Then Go to rapid enhancement period, with only a day Time developed to Typhoon , and at August 30th at 12 a.m. at 29.9°N, 123.3°Epeak intensity, max wind recorded 38m/s. The peak stateins Time shorter, as the latitude rises and the sea temperature decreases, the system from August 31 starts to weaken, wind speed from 35m/s to 33m/s. Go to September 30th, weaken acceleration, September 1
