1978-10-02 18:00:00 After, Typhoon Lola gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1978-10-02 18:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 50 track points.

Typhoon Lola Trail Characteristics

Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Lola (197818)'s life began at the Northwest Pacific Ocean, the overall path showed a stable WN toward, eventually Go to S Sea N section and gradually weakened dispersal. From the formed initial coordinate sequence, the system at September 20 at 7.6°N, 147°E formed near, early Moving speed slower, main toward NW direction slow floating. During September 23 to September 25, the system latitudeined between 10.5°N to 12.3°N, length rapidly shifted from 142°EW to 128.8°E, showing a marked acceleration of WTrend shift, and a smaller latitude shift, indicating that at this time the flow is guided by E winds.

After September 26, as the system Intensity increases, its Moving direction gradually turns to WNW. September 29 to October 2, the Typhoon center crosses the bus strait on the W side of Go to S Sea, latitude from 17°N continuously pushing N to 21.5°N, length from 113.5°EW to 107.5°E. During the entire life cycle, the Typhoon did not landfall any land, always in marine activity, path smooth and without a violent turn toward or turning phenomenon, belonging at the typical ocean formed, WGo to S sea's tropical cycle.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Lola的Intensity演变经历了漫长的酝酿期与快速的增强期. 在9月20日至9月25日的六天内, 系统长期维持Nameless等级, wind speed仅从7m/s缓慢增至15m/s, 显示初期结构松散, 发展受限. 然而, 自9月26日起, 系统迅速 intensified into Tropical Storm, 并在随后三天内连续跳级, at 9月29日达到Typhoon 级别 (35m/s) , 并 at 9月30日达到peak intensity, max wind 录得38m/s. 巅峰状态维持Time较短, Go to S海后受环境因素影响, 自10月1日起开始显著减弱, wind speed降至30m/s以下, 最终以Tropical StormIntensity结束生命史.

Compared to the previous typhoon, the peak intensity of the 1978 Lola (38m/s, Typhoon) is at a medium level. compared to the 1986 Lola (Super Typhoon) and the 1979 Lola (Severe Typhoon), its intensity is significantly weaker; but stronger than the 1990 Lola (Tropical Storm).
