Typhoon Alex, international code 198403, international name ALEX, 1984 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 1984-07-01 00:00:00, ended: 1984-07-05 06:00:00. Peak intensity: Typhoon , minimum central pressure: 960 hPa, max wind: 38m/s.

Overview of Typhoon Alex

Typhoon Alex at 1984-07-01 00:00:00 at 16.1°N, 124.5°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.

It peaked at Typhoon intensity with max winds of 38 m/s (~137 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 960hPa, recorded at 1984-07-03 06:00:00.

1984-07-05 06:00:00 After, Typhoon Alex gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1984-07-05 06:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 18 track points.

Characteristics of Typhoon Alex

Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Alex (198403) 的生命周期始 at Philippines以E洋面, 整体呈现显著的NW至NE转 toward 抛物线型路径. formed初期 (7月1日00:00至12:00) , 系统在16.1°N附近滞留并缓慢W移, 随后转为稳定的NW. 从7月1日18:00的Tropical Storm阶段开始, 其During持续减小, The latitude稳步增加, 表明受副热带高压引导气流影响显著.

The key turning point of the path appeared between 06:00 and 12:00 on July 3rd. At this time the center of the system at 23.3°N, at 121.5°E near peak intensity, Moving direction gradually shifted from NW to N, and then toward NE. After 00:00 on July 4th, with the latitude breaking 27°N, the system Go to the mid-latitude W wind belt impact range, the path clearly toward E bends, the length rapidly rising from 121.2°E to 127.2°E. Thro the process, the system did not landfall any land, always in marine activity, and finally at 06:00 on July 5th at 35.4°N, 127.2°E weakened into Nameless and ended observations.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Alex的Intensity演变经历了完整的“ formed-增强-巅峰-减弱”过程. 7月1日18:00 intensified into Tropical Storm (20m/s) , 随后快速增强, 仅用不到两天Time, at 7月2日18:00升级为Typhoon (33m/s) . 其巅峰状态出现在7月3日06:00, max wind 达38m/s, 维持Typhoon 等级约18h后开始减弱. 7月4日00:00降格为Severe Tropical Storm, 随后wind speed持续下降, 至消散前已回落至15m/s. 值得注意的是, 数据中最低气压字段缺失, 故仅依据wind speed判断Intensity变化.

与同名Typhoon 对比, 1987年的Alex (198707) 同样达到Typhoon 级别巅峰. 虽然1987 Typhoon 的具体wind speed数据未在本题提供, 但两者均被归类为“Typhoon ”等级, 表明“Alex”这一命名在历史上倾 toward at 产生具有中等以上Intensity的热带气旋. 1984年Alex从Nameless发展至Typhoon 历时约42h, 增强速度较快, 且在巅峰期维持了一定Time的Intensity, 显示出较好的组织结构和能量维持能力, 直至N上Go to 高The latitude冷海水区域后才迅速衰减.
