Path Moving and Structural Characteristics

2017 No. 1 Typhoon “Muifa” life history is shorter, observation data cover Time for April 26, 2017 at 08 am to April 27, 2017 at 17 pm. From path coordinate sequence analysis, the Typhoon overall presents toward WN’s Trend. In the initial phase (April 26, 08 am to 20 pm) , Typhoon center latitude shifted from 13.4°N slowly to 13.8°N, length shifted from 136.1°EW to 134.4°E, Moving path is rather flat, mainly influenced by guided airflow toward W advance.
