Path and Moving Character Analysis

Typhoon Lex (198316) 的生命史始 at S海E部海域, 整体呈现稳定的WNMovingTrend. formed初期 (10月22日00时) , 系统位 at 16.1°N, 116.8°E, 随后 toward NW并逐渐加强. 在10月22日至23日期间, Typhoon 中心The latitude从16.1°N缓慢N抬至17.9°N, During则从116.8°EW进至114.1°E, 显示出明显的NW行进轨迹. 值得注意的是, 10月23日00时至10月24日12时期间, Typhoon 中心纬度在17.3°N至17.9°N之间小幅波动, 经度持续W移, 表明此时引导气流相对稳定, 路径较为平直, 未出现剧烈转 toward 或停滞现象. Go to 后期 (10月25日后) , 系统继续 toward W穿Vietnam海中部, 最终 at 10月26日06时移至106.4°E附近减弱消散. 全过程中, 该Typhoon 始终保持在海上活动, 无Landfall记录, track points分布均匀, 体现了典型的S海热带气旋W行特征.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

The initial phase was Nameless (15m/s), rapidly enhanced to Severe Tropical Storm (25m/s) within 24h. On October 23 to 24, its Intensity was stable in the range of 28-30m/s. On October 24 at 18am, wind speed increased to 33m/s, officially upgraded to Typhoon level, and at October 25 at 00 reached peak intensity, max wind was 35m/s. The peak stateined Time was shorter, after about 12h began to weaken, and returned to Severe Tropical Storm on October 25 at 18th, until the end of life weakened into Tropical Storm.

Compared with the same name History, 1983 Lex's Intensity was significantly higher at 1986 Lex (198628, top only for Tropical Storm), at the same level as 1980 Lex (198010, top for Typhoon). however, 1983 Lex's Max Wind (35m/s) belonged at Typhoon level medium Intensity, and was supported by at lack of air pressure data, can only be judged by wind speed its structural tightness. Compared to 1986 weak system, 1983 Lex showed a more complete life cycle and stronger power structure, but in the same sequence, in its Intensity performance, there was no extreme Super Typhoon characteristics.
