Moving and turning toward characteristics

Typhoon Forrest (198003) at 1980年5月19日在Northwest Pacific低The latitude海域 formed, 初始Position位 at 6.4°N, 154.6°E. 在其生命史初期, 系统呈现稳定的W toward MovingTrend. 从5月19日至5月23日, Typhoon 中心纬度由6.4°N缓慢N抬至10.9°N, During则由154.6°E大幅W移至132.4°E, 整体路径近似直线 toward W, 横跨广阔洋面. 这一阶段Moving速度较为均匀, 未出现明显的停滞或剧烈摆动.

With the system N up to 12.7°N nearby, Moving direction starts from pure W toward to NW toward . May 24:00 to 06:00 on May 26, the Typhoon center latitude rapidly jumped from 12.7°N to 21°N, the length W latitude relatively slowed, and at the end appeared a slight E fold sign (from 119.8°E back to 121.5°E) .

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

在Intensity演变方面, Forrest经历了典型的“ formed-增强-巅峰-减弱”过程. formed初期为Nameless, wind speed10m/s. 经过约48h的稳定W行, at 5月21日00时 intensified into Tropical Storm (20m/s) . 随后Intensity维持稳定, wind speed保持在23m/s左右长达三天. 5月24日00时, 系统在12.7°N, 126.4°E达到peak intensity, 升级为Severe Tropical Storm, max wind 增至28m/s. 巅峰状态短暂维持后, 系统迅速减弱, 5月25日12时已降格为Nameless (10m/s) , 直至生命史结束.

Its peak was only Severe Tropical Storm (28m/s), and in 1983, 1986 and 1992 Forrest reached Super Typhoon level, and in 1989 Forrest also reached Severe Typhoon level.
