Typhoon Pamela’s post-event reanalysis values differ from its live published values. The live values represent operational data during the typhoon’s active period. After Typhoon Pamela ends, the China Meteorological Administration combines more complete observational data to produce reanalysis and best-track data, which are generally used for academic research and historical rankings. Data sources: CMA Tropical Cyclone best-track dataset, compiled through IBTrACS v04r01. Wind speeds are converted from knots to m/s and rounded.
Typhoon Pamela trajectory analysis
Track Movement and Recurvature Characteristics
Typhoon Pamela (197916) had a relatively short lifespan, lasting about three and a half days from formation to dissipation. It formed over tropical waters near 18°N, 150°E. During its early stage (from 00:00 on September 23 to 12:00 on September 24), the system moved steadily toward the WNW, with its latitude increasing slowly from 18°N to 18.8°N while its longitude shifted rapidly west from 150°E to 144.6°E. Its average movement speed was relatively fast, and its track was straight.
Go to 9月24日傍晚至25日凌晨, 路径出现明显的N折Trend. 随着纬度突破19°N, 经 toward W移的速度减缓, 路径曲率增加. 特别是在9月25日12时之后, Typhoon 中心加速 toward NE, 纬度迅速从19.7°N攀升至26°N, 而经度变化幅度相对减小 (从142.1°E至136.8°E) . 这种从“W行”到“NW行”再到“NE行”的路径演变, 表明该系统在中高纬度受到W风带引导气流的影响显著, 最终在未Landfall任何land的情况下, at 开阔洋面上逐渐减弱并转 toward 离去.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
在Intensity方面, Pamela (197916) 整体表现较弱. 系统在9月23日至24日大部分Time内维持Tropical Depression等级, wind speed保持在7m/s至10m/s之间. 直到9月25日06时, max wind 增至23m/s, 才正式升级为Tropical Storm, 这也是该Typhoon 在整个生命史中的peak intensity. 随后, 系统迅速Go to 减弱阶段, 仅维持了6h的Tropical StormIntensity, 便 at 9月25日18时回落为Tropical Depression, 直至消散前wind speed降至10m/s. 值得注意的是, 观测数据中The minimum air pressure.字段缺失, 无法通过气压梯度进一步佐证其内部结构变化, 但wind speed的短暂峰值表明其增强过程急促且不持久.
The data showed that the 1961s, 1972s, 1976s and 1982s of the same name Typhoon reached the peak intensity level of 'Super Typhoon'.In comparison, the 1979s 16th Typhoon only reached the Tropical Storm level, with max wind 23m/s far lower at the other previously named Typhoon's destructive level.This significant Intensity difference reflects the huge impact of different years' atmospheric flow on the background of Typhoon, and the 1979s Pamela failed to get enough energy support to develop as a strong Tropical Cyclone.
