From the sequence analysis, the Typhoon formed during the period of July 22, 2012, the latitude increased from 17.6°N slowly to 19.3°N-19.5°N in the range, and the length was rapidly W-shifted, indicating that its guided airflow influenced significantly, mainly along the tropical high-pressure S-toward W-shift. It is worth noting that during July 22, from 07:00 to 19:00, the Typhoon center latitude was essentiallyined at 19.2°N-19.5°N near, while the length was stagnant at 115°E, showing a short-term

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

The initial phase was Nameless (12m/s, 1002hPa) and Go to S was gradually strengthened.Especially within 24h of the morning of July 23 to 24, Pressure dropped sharply from 982hPa to 955hPa, max wind jumped from 25m/s to 40m/s, successfully developed to Typhoon level Intensity, andined peak intensity until the eve of Landfall.

Compared with the same name History, 2012 Vicente's destructive power is much higher than the 16th Typehoon Vicente in 2005. data showed that 2005 Vicentepeak intensity was only Tropical Storm, minimum pressure 985hPa; and 2012 Vicente not only reached Typehoon level, minimum pressure is lower than 955hPa, max wind is up to 40m/s. Both have quantitative differences in peak intensity, 2012 Vicente's air pressure is lower, wind speed is greater, belonging to a stronger weather system.
