Characteristics of Typhoon Ellen

Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Ellen (197009)'s short life history, main activity area at Northwest Pacific ocean surface, did not directly affect landfall.

In the early formed September 4th 06:00 to September 5th 00:00), the center coordinates of the system from (22.9°N, 136.1°E) stable Moving to (26.3°N, 130.5°E), the length continued W shift, the latitude significantly N increased, indicating its influence by the guided airflow, stable NW. It is worth noting that during September 5th 00:00 to 06:00, the latitude remained at 26.3°N unchanged, while the length rapidly W shifted to 128°E, showing the short-lived WMoving characteristics. Subsequently, the pathway occurred a significant twist, from September 5th 06:00, the system began to Sward fall, until September 6:00:00 reached (24.5°N, 125.7°E). This

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

In terms of intensity, Typhoon Ellen shows the characteristics of rapid weakening after slow enhancement. Initial phase is Nameless, max wind 15m/s. Within 18h of Time (September 4 06:00 to September 5 00:00) , wind speedins the Nameless level at 17m/s, intensity fluctuation is very small. Until September 5 06:00, the system reaches peak intensity near (26.3°N, 128°E), upgrades to Tropical Storm, max wind increases to 23m/s. However, the peak state is extremely short, after only 6h maintenance, wind speed drops back to 20m/s, and at September 5 18:00 re-degrades to Nameless (17m/s), eventually weakens further to 15m/s before dispersal.

Data show that in 1983, Ellen in 1980 reached the 'Super Typhoon' level, in 1986 Ellen also reached the 'Typhoon' level, while in 1970 Ellen only for 'Tropical Storm', its Intensity even lower at 1976 as Tropical Storm level Ellen.
