Path and Moving Characteristics

The 12th Typhoon “Banyan”’s life history began at the Northwest Pacific Ocean Ocean, the overall path showing a stable NW toward to N toward MovingTrend, with no direct impact on the land, from the formed early coordinates (17.4°N, 167.7°E) to the pre-dispersal end coordinates (39.3°N, 172.1°E) , the Typhoon was always active on the ocean, with no landfall records.

On the Moving direction, “Banyan” initiallyined WNW, the length gradually shifted from 167.7°E to 162.2°E nearby. About 14:00 on August 15th, with the latitude breaking 27°N, its Moving path appeared a noticeable turn toward characteristic, from NW toward toward to N and NE, the length began toward E toward to 172.1°E. This typical turn toward path indicates that it was influenced by the sub-tropical high-pressure backline and the total effect of the mid-latitude W wind belt guiding air flow, eventually toward high-latitude sea area to move and weaken dispersion.
