Typhoon Gerald (198101) formed at Northwest Pacific低The latitude海域, 初始Position位 at lat 5.8°N, 155.6°附近. 在生命史初期 (4月14日至15日) , 系统呈现微弱的 toward WMovingTrend, During从155.6°EW移至152.0°E, 纬度基本维持在6°N以S. 4月16日凌晨, 随着Intensity增强为Tropical Storm, 其Moving路径发生显著转折, 由W direction转为稳定的NW. 这一转 toward 过程伴随着快速的经纬度变化, 系统在24h内 toward N推进约3个纬度, toward W推进约5个经度.
Go to April 17, Moving direction further adjusted to near positive N, the length change slowed, and stabilized at lng between 145.8° to 146.0°, showing a change in the nature of guiding air flow. April 18 to 19, the system at 12° to 15° continued on N, followed by a slight toward E rotation sign, finally at April 20 dispersed at lat 15.3° N, 146.2° near.
Gerald’s Intensity evolution shows a typical “fast enhancement- maintenance-slow weakening” feature.The system started from Nameless, rapidly reinforcing within 12h on April 16 at 00:00 to 12:00, max wind jumping from 23m/s to 30m/s, reaching the Severe Tropical Storm level, which is also the peak intensity in its history.
In 1987, the 12th Typhoon Gerald reached the Super Typhoon level, and in 1984 the 8th Typhoon Gerald was only the Severe Tropical Storm level. in 1981, the first Typhoon Gerald was the same as the Severe Tropical Storm peak, but its duration was shorter and limited to spring sea temperature and atmospheric environment, failing to further develop into a higher-intensity Typhoon system.
