Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Abby (197922) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现显著的“W行-N折-NE转 toward ”的抛物线形态. formed初期 (11月29日至12月1日) , 系统在低The latitude海域 (约6°N-7°N) 维持缓慢的WNMoving, During从169°E移至161.9°E. 随后, 受引导气流影响, 路径逐渐转为正W direction, 并 at 12月5日前后抵达154°E附近. 值得注意的是, 12月6日至9日期间, 系统Intensity回落至Nameless等级, 但Position持续W移至关岛以W海域 (138.9°E) .

As the system reinforced and N on, its Moving direction changed significantly. December 11 to 12, the Typhoon center rapidly toward NE, the length rapidly rebounded from 130.1°E to 133.1°E, the latitude synchronous jump from 15°N to 18.9°N, showing a marked turn toward acceleration characteristic.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Abby's Intensity changes experience the untypical process of 'primitive enhancement - mid-term weakening - late outbreak - rapid decline'. after the system developed to Tropical Storm on December 2, had at December 6 accidentally weakened into Nameless (15m/s) . however, Go to December 10th, the system has a second explosive enhancement, in just two days from Severe Tropical Storm (30m/s) rapidly upgraded to Super Typhoon, max wind to 56m/s, peak state appeared around December 12.

Abby's peak intensity (56m/s, Super Typhoon) in 1979 was higher at Abby (Severe Typhoon) in 1986, but with Abby (Super Typhoon, minimum pressure 893hPa) in 1983 was equal to the high intensity ladder.
