Track Track and Turn toward characteristics

Typhoon Sperry (198016) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“NW行—转 toward NE”的抛物线形态. formed初期 (9月12日至14日) , 系统位 at 150°E以E, 受副热带高压S侧引导气流影响, 稳定 toward NW, The latitude从10.1°N迅速N抬至18.3°N, DuringW移约3.4度. 9月15日至17日期间, 路径维持NNW走 toward , 逐渐接近Japan以S海域.

The key turn toward point appeared before 18 September. Data showed that on 18 September at 06:00 the system reached 30.7°N, 138.7°E when it reached the most W-side Position, then the length began toward E backwards. On 19 to 22 September, the Typhoon completely moved into the NE, led by the W-wind belt, accelerated toward deep off the ocean, eventually at 34.3°N, 152.3°E weakened dispersed.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Sperry的Intensity变化经历了完整的“ formed—增强—巅峰—减弱”周期. 初生阶段为Nameless, wind speed7-15m/s. 9月15日 intensified into Tropical Storm (20m/s) , 并在随后48h内快速增强, at 9月16日18:00达到Severe Tropical Storm级别 (25m/s) . 9月18日06:00, 系统在30.7°N附近达到peak intensity, max wind 录得33m/s, 定性为Typhoon 级.

From 18:00 on September 19, with the system N going to the High-latitude cold sea zone and influenced by the vertical wind shift, the intensity declined rapidly, dropping from Typhoon to Severe Tropical Storm, and then weakened into Tropical Storm on September 20, eventually degrading to Nameless on September 22.

Compared to the same name History, the 1980 Spear's peak intensity (Typhoon level, 33m/s) high at 1983 Spear's (Severe Tropical Storm), but low at or flat at 1987 Spear's (Typhoon).
