Typhoon Gay, international code 198502, international name GAY, 1985 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 1985-05-20 00:00:00, ended: 1985-05-26 06:00:00. Peak intensity: Super Typhoon, minimum central pressure: 950 hPa, max wind: 51m/s.
Typhoon Gay at 1985-05-20 00:00:00 at 11.5°N, 131.9°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.
It peaked at Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of 51 m/s (~184 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 950hPa, recorded at 1985-05-24 06:00:00.
1985-05-26 06:00:00 After, Typhoon Gay gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1985-05-26 06:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 26 track points.
Typhoon Gay (198502)'s life cycle began at May 20, 1985, at 00:00, the initial position at lat 11.5°N, 131.9° near the Nameless zone. During the formed early to May 22, the system mainly showed a slow NW toward MovingTrend, latitude increased from 11.5°N to 16.3°N, length oscillated slightly near 132°E, showing the characteristics of relatively stable guiding airflow.
The typhoon showed its shift from (20.7°N, 128.8°E) Moving to (22.4°N, 130°E) and then continued toward NE direction accelerated Moving, until May 26 at 06:00 dispersed at lat 30.7°N, 139.8°Oceans.
在Intensity变化方面, Gay经历了完整的生命史演变. 从5月20日的Nameless (15m/s) 起步, 经过约4天的持续加强, at 5月24日12时在 (22.4°N, 130°E) 达到peak intensity, 确认为Super Typhoon, max wind 高达51m/s. 此后, 随着系统 toward 高The latitudeMoving并转 toward NE, intensity 迅速衰减. 5月25日00时降为Severe Typhoon (46m/s) , 5月26日00时进一步 weakened into Severe Tropical Storm (30m/s) , 最终在30.7°N附近维持Severe Tropical Storm等级直至结束观测.
It peaked at Super Typhoon level (51m/s) , significantly strong at 1988 Gay (top only for Tropical Storm) and 1981 Gay (top for Severe Typhoon) . Although in 1992 Gay also reached Super Typhoon level, but in late May 1985 Gay showed such a high Intensity, and during the turn towardined a longer Time high Intensity state, reflecting its stronger energy maintenance ability.
