Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Ellis (197905) 的生命史始 at 1979年6月29日00时, formedPosition位 at lat 11.7°N, 135.4°的Northwest Pacific洋面. 在初始阶段, 系统呈现稳定的WNWMovingTrend. 从6月29日至7月2日期间, Typhoon 中心The latitude由11.7°N缓慢N抬至15°N, During则由135.4°E大幅W移至126.9°E, 显示出受副热带高压S侧引导气流影响的典型W行特征.

Moving direction gradually shifted from NW to NE. From July 3 to July 6 at 00, Typhoon's central latitude jumped rapidly from 16.1°N to 22°N, while the length continued to W but slowed relatively, eventually dissipating near 110.1°E. The overall path was polarized, first toward NW direction deep, then turned toward NE when approaching China continental coastal, the entire route did not landfall any land, always at sea activity.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

The Typhoon's Intensity evolution underwent a complete 'formed-enhanced-top-weakened' process. Initially as Nameless, wind speedined at 10-17m/s. On July 1 at 12 am upgraded to Tropical Storm, then rapidly strengthened between July 2 at 00 and 12 pm, wind speed increased from 28m/s to 33m/s, establishing Typhoon grade.

Wind speed dropped to 41m/s on July 3, but stillined Typhoon level; by July 4, 00, wind speed dropped to 33m/s. From July 4, 12, the system further weakened into Severe Tropical Storm, and continued to decline in the subsequent process, until July 6, 06 ended monitoring with NamelessIntensity of 12m/s.

Compared to History, Ellis' intensity in 1979 was significantly higher at Ellis in 1989 (198906, peak only for Nameless), but weak at Ellis in 1982 (198213, peak as Super Typhoon) . This suggests that in the sequence of the same name, 1979 Typhoon belonged to the intermediate polarity level, having the typical Severe Typhoon structural characteristics, but not reaching extreme intensity.
