Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Gay (198119)'s life history began at 14 October 1981 at 00:00 on the Northwest Pacific surface, initial position at lat 10.8°N, 148.1°. In the formed early, the system presented a stable NW toward MovingTrend, from Nameless rapidly enhanced to Tropical Storm.

随着系统进一步 toward W深入, 其Moving direction在10月18日后发生显著转折. 数据显示, Typhoon 中心在抵达lat 19°N, 135°附近后, 逐渐转为N乃至NE. 特别是在10月20日达到最W端Position (约lng 128.8°-128.9°) 后, 路径出现明显的转 toward 特征, 开始加速 toward NE direction行进. 最终, 该系统 at 10月23日06时移至lat 43.2°N, 151.8°的高The latitude海域并消散. 整个生命周期中, Typhoon 未Landfall任何陆地, 全程在海上活动, 路径呈现出典型的“NW行-转 toward -NE移出”的抛物线型特征.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

在Intensity变化方面, Typhoon Gay经历了完整的加强至减弱过程. 从10月14日的12m/sNameless起步, 系统稳步增强, at 10月17日18时达到Typhoon 级别 (35m/s) . 随后Go to 快速增强期, 仅用不到两天Time, max wind 便攀升至48m/s, at 10月20日00时 at 21.4°附近达到Severe Typhoonpeak intensity. 此后, 受高The latitude环境及转 toward 后的路径影响, intensity 开始波动下降, 至10月22日 weakened into Typhoon , 最终在生命末期维持Severe Tropical Storm等级 (28m/s) 直至结束.

Compared to the same name History, the 1981 Gay's peak intensity (Severe Typhoon, 48m/s) between other years of the same type Typhoon. compared to the 1992 Gay (199230) and 1985 Gay (198502) both reached the Super Typhoon level high Intensity records, the 1981 version of the Intensity slightly less; but markedly strong at 1988 Gay (198812) , the latter peak is only Tropical Storm level.
