Characteristics of Typhoon Ellen

Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Ellen (198002) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific低The latitude海域, 整体路径呈现显著的“先W后N再NE”的抛物线型特征. formed初期 (5月11日至13日) , 系统在6.9°N至7.8°N之间缓慢 toward WMoving, During从148.5°E移至143.5°E, Moving速度相对平缓. 随后, 受引导气流影响, 路径逐渐转为NW direction, at 5月15日至17日期间在141°E至142°E附近维持较为稳定的NW toward 行进, 纬度由10.4°N迅速攀升至14.5°N.

As the system N rises to 16.3°N by N, Moving direction begins to significantly increase toward E, the path from NW to positive N, and then toward NE. especially in the period of May 20 to 21, Typhoon accelerated toward High latitude area Moving, the latitude from 25.6°N sharply jumped to 38.1°N, the length also moved from 135.7°EE back to 145.1°E, and eventually dispersed in JapanE with ocean weakening.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

From May 11’s Nameless (7m/s) start, the system rapidly intensified into Severe Tropical Storm within 48h, and at May 15 evolved into Typhoon . May 16th at 00:00, its wind speed peaked at 56m/s, established as Super Typhoon level, and stablyined this peak intensity within about 48h (until May 17th at 12:00), Center at 141.1°E to 141.3°E, showing excellent structural stability.

After May 18, as the latitude increased and the environmental field changed, the intensity began to slowly decline, but remained at Super Typhoon level until May 19, 00:00. Go to High latitude, weakening speed accelerated, and dropped to Typhoon on May 20, further weakened into Tropical Storm on the morning of May 21, eventually transformed into Nameless.

Compared with History, Ellen's peak intensity in 1980 (56m/s, Super Typhoon) was significantly higher at Ellen (Typhoon) in 1986 and Ellen (Tropical Storm) in 1976, compared with the Super Typhoon of the same name in 1983 and 1973, showing that some of the years in the naming series had a climate background that produced high IntensityTyphoon.
