Typhoon Gerald at 1984-08-15 12:00:00 at 19.2°N, 119.1°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.
It peaked at Severe Tropical Storm intensity with max winds of 28 m/s (~101 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 980hPa, recorded at 1984-08-17 18:00:00.
1984-08-21 18:00:00 After, Typhoon Gerald gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1984-08-21 18:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 26 track points.
Typhoon Gerald (198408) 的生命史始 at S海E部海域, 整体路径呈现显著的“W进后折 toward NE”的抛物线型特征. formed初期 (8月15日至16日) , 系统自19.2°N, 119.1°E附近 toward WNW, 迅速靠近华Scoastal . 在8月17日至19日期间, Typhoon Go to 相对稳定的W行阶段, The latitude基本维持在18.1°N至18.7°N之间, During从116.2°E持续W移至112.0°E, 这一阶段其Moving速度较为均匀, 且未发生Landfall, 始终在海上活动.
The crucial turning point of the path appeared in the night of August 19 to the early morning of August 20. After the system reached the most W-side Position (about 112.0°E), influenced by the atmospheric flow guided air flow changes, Moving direction turned from W to NW, then further turned toward NE. After August 20, the Typhoon accelerated toward NE, the latitude rapidly climbed from 19.5°N to 25.4°N, the length followed by E to 115.4°E near.
In terms of Intensity changes, Gerald underwent a typical “enhancing-maintaining-weakening” process.The initial phase was Nameless (15m/s), then intensified into Tropical Storm within 24h, and at August 17 at 00 reached the Severe Tropical Storm level (25m/s) . From August 18 at 00 to August 19 at 12h, Typhoon Intensity peaked and stable maintenance, max windined at 28m/s, lasting for more than 36h, showing its better energy retention capabilities over S hot waters.
Starting at 00:00 on August 20, as the path shifted toward NE and may be affected by vertical wind shifts or dry air involvement, the system began to weaken, declining to Tropical Storm (23m/s), and further declining to Nameless during the move, until dispersal on August 21 at 18:00.
Compared with the same name History, Gerald's Intensity in 1984 was significantly weaker at Gerald in 1987 (198712, peaked as Super Typhoon), but with Gerald in 1981 (198101, peaked as Severe Tropical Storm) was comparable to the intensity grade.
