Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Ben (198306) has a short life history, from formed to dispersed for about 3 and a half days. Its path overall shows a significant 'first N after NE' toward shift characteristics. In the initial phase (August 12 00 to 13 00) , the system position at lat 24.3° to 28.0° N, between 145.1° to 145.6°, main toward NNW, the latitude increases rapidly and the duration changes relatively slowly. During August 13 00 to 06:00, Typhoon center at 28.7° occurred a noticeable path shift, Moving direction from N gradually to NE direction. After that, influenced by the mid-high latitude W wind band guiding flow, Typhoon accelerated toward NE, the degree W rapidly (from 145.4° E to 136.2

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

在Intensity变化方面, Typhoon Ben经历了典型的“增强-维持-减弱”过程. formed初期为Nameless, wind speed15m/s; 随后在12h内 intensified into Tropical Storm, 并 at 8月13日12时达到peak intensity, 定性为Severe Tropical Storm, max wind 25m/s. 巅峰状态维持了约18h (8月13日12时至14日00时) , 期间Center at 29.3°至30.9°之间缓慢N移. 8月14日06时起, 随着The latitude进一步升高及Go to 较高纬度海域, 系统开始减弱, 降级为Tropical Storm, wind speed降至23m/s并保持至消散前最后时刻. 8月15日06时, wind speed进一步降至15m/s, 回归Nameless等级.

In 1986, the 18th Typhoon Ben had reached Super Typhoon level, intensity far exceeding this year's Severe Tropical Storm level; even the 23rd Typhoon Ben in 1979, its peak intensity also equal to the Severe Tropical Storm, but considering the 1983 Ben life history short and no Landfall records, its direct impact on the land is much smaller at the other years of the same name Typhoon .
