Overview of Typhoon Nelson

Typhoon Nelson at 1982-03-18 06:00:00 at 3.8°N, 160.7°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.

It peaked at Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of 53 m/s (~191 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 935hPa, recorded at 1982-03-25 12:00:00.

1982-04-01 06:00:00 After, Typhoon Nelson gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1982-04-01 06:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 57 track points.

Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Nelson (198202) 的生命史始 at 1982年3月18日06:00, formed at Northwest Pacific低The latitude海域 (3.8°N, 160.7°E) , 初始状态为Nameless. 在 formed后的初期阶段, 系统呈现显著的W toward Moving特征, 从160.7°E迅速W移至144.4°E, 期间纬度缓慢N抬至7.8°N. Go to 3月23日后, 随着Intensity升级为Typhoon , 其Moving路径保持稳定的W direction, 横穿Philippines以E洋面. 值得注意的是, 该Typhoon 在整个生命周期内未出现明显的转 toward 或折 toward 行为, 始终维持 toward W或略WN的MovingTrend, 最终 at 4月1日06:00在S海W部海域 (13.1°N, 112.6°E) 消散. 全程无Landfall记录, 主要活动区域集中在开阔洋面, 路径总跨度超过40个During, 显示出典型的热带气旋远距离输送特征.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Nelson's Intensity evolution has experienced rapid enhancement, peak maintenance and gradual weakening in three stages. From March 18 to March 25, the system in about a week Time from 12m/s Nameless rapidly enhanced to 51m/s Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of significant increase, indicating that it has obtained extremely strong energy supply in suitable sea temperature and environmental conditions.

Compared to the same name History, the 1982 Nelson peak intensity (53m/s, Super Typhoon) and the 1988 Nelson (198820, Super Typhoon) compared, all reached extremely high intensity levels; compared to the 1985 Nelson (198510, Severe Typhoon), the 1982 system had a greater advantage in peak wind speed.This shows that in the 'Nelson' sequence, the 1982 and 1988 systems have the potential to develop into top tropical cyclones, and in 1982 Nelson with its long life and high intensity, became one of the important weather systems in the early Northwest Pacific waters.
