Path and Moving Characteristics

Typhoon Phyllis (198110)'s life history was short, from formed to dispersed only about 42h. According to observational data, the system was always active at Northwest Pacific ocean surface, without direct impact on land, without landfall records.

Specifically, the Typhoon center latitude shifted from 25.8°N rapidly to 28.9°N, the length of a small oscillation between 146.5°E to 146.6°E, showing the initial mainly influenced by the guided airflow toward N advance. On 3 August 18 to 6 August, the system continued up to 32.1°N, the length stabilized at 146.1°E-146.2°E near, the Moving speed was relatively uniform. After 12 August 4, as the latitude further increased to 35°N, the length of the start toward W retreated to 145.3°E, the path features a slight reverse angle curve, which is usually related to the interaction with the mid-latitude W wind slide or sub-tropical high pressure edge.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

In terms of intensity changes, Phyllis underwent a typical “enhancing-maintaining-weakening” process. Initial phase was Nameless (15m/s), intensified into Tropical Storm (20m/s) on August 3 at 12 and at August 4 at 00 reached peak intensity, max wind at 23m/s,ining Tropical Storm level.

Historical records show that in 1987, 1972 and 1960 Phyllis developed into Super Typhoon, with tremendous destruction potential; while in 1966 Phyllis was only a Tropical Storm, but in 1981 this case at a lower level in life and peak wind speed.
