The SummaryTyphoon Ken (international code 198219) is a 1982 Northwest Pacific typhoon; peak intensity Super Typhoon, max wind 56m/s, minimum central pressure 940hPa, not in China Landfall, 1982-09-25 was numbered off, recorded 37 track points.
Typhoon Ken, international code 198219, international name KEN, 1982 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 1982-09-16 00:00:00, ended: 1982-09-25 00:00:00. Peak intensity: Super Typhoon, minimum central pressure: 940 hPa, max wind: 56m/s.
Typhoon Ken at 1982-09-16 00:00:00 at 17.5°N, 133.7°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.
It peaked at Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of 56 m/s (~202 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 940hPa, recorded at 1982-09-19 00:00:00.
Typhoon Ken gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1982-09-25 00:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 37 track points.
The life cycle of Typhoon Ken (198219) began at 16 September 1982 at 00, the initial Position position at lat 17.5°N, 133.7°Nameless stage.In the formed early, the system presented a noticeable NW toward MovingTrend, from 133.7°E moving rapidly W to 124.3°E near, the latitude rising from 17.5°N slowly N to 21.0°N. This phase path was relatively flat, mainly influenced by the low layer guided air flow toward W.
When the Center reached lat 21°N, near 124.3°, the Typhoon Moving speed slowed significantly, and then began toward NE. From the coordinates of September 21 at 06:00 (21.2°N, 124.8°E) to the end point of September 25 at 00:00 (35.5°N, 132.5°E) , the path showed the characteristic of a typical rolling line turn toward. Especially after September 23, with the latitude jumping rapidly from 25.7°N to 35.5°N, the length also toward Eward retreated back to 132.5°E, indicating that the system has fully Go to W wind belt control area, accelerating toward NE direction away from land.
From September 16th Nameless (15m/s) developed to September 17th Typhoon level (33m/s) , with only about 36h. On September 18th at 06:00, wind speed reached 51m/s, upgraded to Super Typhoon; and on September 19th at 00:00 reached the peak of life, max wind recorded 56m/s. Within three days (September 19 to 21) , its Intensityined at Super Typhoon or Severe Typhoon level (46-53m/s) , showing the stability of the core structure.
Ken (198602) peak intensity is only Severe Typhoon, while Ken (197911) is only reaching Severe Tropical Storm level. From this it can be seen, 198219 Typehoon is the three-time intensity of the same name cyclone, the longest time and the most complete system, its 56m/s peak wind speed establishes its notable advantage in the same period named Typhoon.
