Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Betty (198021) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific低The latitude海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“W进后折 toward NE”的抛物线型轨迹. formed初期 (10月28日至30日) , 系统在7.1°N至12.9°N之间活动, 主要受引导气流影响 toward WN, During从151.3°E迅速W移至145.1°E. Go to 11月初, 系统维持在W行路径上, 横穿Philippines以E洋面, at 11月4日抵达123.7°E附近, 此时纬度缓慢N抬至15.2°N.

After reaching the most W-end Position, Betty did not continue deeper into S Sea or Landfall land, but instead began to shift significantly toward NE. From November 5 to 7, dispersed, its length rebounded from 120.8°E to 131.6°E, and its latitude pushed from 16.3°N to 26.9°N. Thro its lifetime, the Typhoon No Landfall recorded, continued in marine activity, eventually debilitating in the mid-high latitude waters.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Betty's Intensity evolution underwent a complete 'enhanced-top-weakened' cycle.The initial phase was Nameless, then rapidly intensified into Typhoon within 3 days, and at October 31 upgraded to Severe Typhoon. November 2 to 4 as the peak of the system, intensity continued to maintain in Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of climbing from 53m/s to peak 64m/s. It is noteworthy that on November 5 system Intensity occurred a cliff down, wind speed dropped from 64m/s to 33m/s, descended to standard Typhoon, then further weakened into Tropical Storm and Nameless, until November 7 end observation.

It peaked at Super Typhoon level (64m/s), with 1987 Betty (198708) and 1972 Betty (197209) joining the Super Typhoon ladder, significantly strong at 1975 Betty (Severe Typhoon) and 1984 Betty (Severe Tropical Storm).
