Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Agnes (198114) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, formed at 1981年8月25日12时, 初始Position位 at lat 15.2°N, 145.8°. 从路径采样数据来看, 该Typhoon 整体呈现稳定的NW toward MovingTrend, 未出现明显的路径突变或回旋现象. 在 formed初期至8月27日期间, 系统主要 toward WN, The latitude由15.2°N缓慢上升至17.3°N, During则从145.8°E快速W移至139.7°E, 显示出较强的引导气流作用.

With the further development of the system, its Moving direction gradually shifted to more toward N and NE direction. From August 28 to August 31, the Typhoon central latitude rapidly climbed from 19.2°N to 29°N, the length continued to W move but slowed, eventually on September 1 to reach lat 31.8°N, near 123.2°. Thro the route, the Typhoon remained active at sea, without any Landfall records.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

In terms of Intensity evolution, Agnes underwent a complete development process from Nameless to Severe Typhoon. August 25 to 26, the systemined the Nameless level, wind speed fluctuated between 10-15m/s. August 27 noon, wind speed increased to 20m/s, upgraded to Tropical Storm. Then Go to Fast Enhancement, August 28 to 30, intensity successively broke through the Severe Tropical Storm and Typhoon levels, max wind increased from 28m/s to 46m/s. August 31 morning to noon, Typhoon reached its peak,ining the Severe Typhoon level, max wind up to 48m/s, andined approximately 12h on the Intensity.

As the latitude rises to 30°N by N, the system begins to weaken, wind speed drops from 43m/s to 30m/s, and the level drops back to Severe Tropical Storm, marking the end of its life cycle.

Compared with the same name History, Agnes' Intensity in 1981 was significantly higher at Agnes in 1988 (198806, peak only for Tropical Storm) , but weak at Agnes in 1984 (198418, peak as Super Typhoon) . This suggests that although the same name, but the weather background of different years led to huge differences in its development potential, Agnes in 1981 belonged to a thermal cycling system of the middle polarity level.
