Analysis of Typhoon Kim
Track and Movement Characteristics
1971年第12号Typhoon “Kim” at 7月9日06时在Philippines以E洋面 (13.3°N, 125.4°E) formed, 初始Intensity为Tropical Depression. 其整体Moving路径呈现稳定的WNW direction, 全程未出现明显的转 toward 或停滞现象. 从经纬度变化来看, 该系统在 formed初期 (7月9日06时至18时) toward WMoving速度较快, 经度在12h内W移约3.7度; 随后Go to S海海域后, Moving速度趋 at 平稳, 维持每日约10-15个经度的W进速度. 直至7月13日12时在Vietnam以E海域 (18.5°N, 104.8°E) 减弱消散, 其生命史持续约4天半, track pointstotal 计18个. 值得注意的是, 该Typhoon 全程无Landfall记录, 主要活动区域集中在开阔的热带洋面, 最终在接近中S半岛coastal 时减弱消失.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
The systemins Tropical Depression Intensity (wind speed10m/s) within the first 36h after the formed . on July 10, at 06:00, with toward W deep, the center near Max Wind gradually rises to 12m/s to 17m/s. On July 11, at 00:00, the system enhances to Tropical Storm (20m/s) , and at 06:00 at the same day reaches peak intensity, upgrades to Severe Tropical Storm, max wind records 25m/s. The peak stateins about 12h, since July 11, at 18 am begins to slow down, wind speed falls back to 23m/s andins Tropical Storm as long as 36h. to Go on July 13, the system further weakened into Tropical Depression, finally dispersed.
Data show that the same name Typhoon in 1977, 1980 and 1986 had reached the 'Super Typhoon' level, while the same name Typhoon in 1983 was only Tropical Storm.

Before then, each agency used its own numbering system, so the numbers assigned by JMA in Japan, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in the United States, and Chinese meteorological agencies may differ and cannot be directly compared.
Where does Typhoon Kim's track data come from?
Track data sources: China Meteorological Administration Tropical Cyclone Best Track Dataset (CMA-STI); wind speeds are 2-minute sustained wind speeds.
What is the highest level of Typhoon Kim?
