Typhoon Kit Route Characteristics
Track and Movement Characteristics
Typhoon Kit (198123) at 1981年12月9日在Northwest Pacific低纬度海域 formed, 初始Position位 at 5.2°N, 150.4°E. 其生命史持续约11天半, 整体路径呈现显著的WNW走 toward , 随后转为稳定W行. 从 formed初期至12月14日, Typhoon 中心由lng 150.4° toward WMoving至142.2°, 纬度由5.2°N缓慢N抬至12.8°N, 期间经历了一次轻微的折 toward 调整. 12月16日至18日为路径的关键转折期, Typhoon 在达到peak intensity后, Moving direction逐渐由NW toward 正W过渡, 纬度维持在15.3°N至16.2°N之间的小幅波动区间, 显示出受副热带高压S侧引导气流控制的典型特征. 12月19日后, 随着系统减弱, 路径继续 toward W延伸至129.4°E附近, 最终在13°N, 129.4°E消散. 全生命周期内无Landfall记录, 始终在洋面上活动.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
From December 9 to 12, the system from Tropical Depression rapidly intensified into Tropical Storm; from December 14 upgraded to Typhoon, wind speed to 33m/s. In the following three days, Typhoon Go to Rapid Enhancement, from December 16 to Super Typhoon, max wind rising to 51m/s, and at December 17 to life history peak of 53m/s. Peak stateined until December 18, then began to weaken significantly, from December 19 to Typhoon, and further weakened into Severe Tropical Storm and Tropical Depression on December 20.
It peaked at Super Typhoon level (53m/s), far over 1988 Kit (Severe Tropical Storm), 1978 Kit (Severe Tropical Storm) and 1974 Kit (Tropical Storm).
