Typhoon Lee's Route

Typhoon Lee at 1985-08-10 06:00:00 at 22.7°N, 131.3°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.

It peaked at Severe Tropical Storm intensity with max winds of 30 m/s (~108 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 975hPa, recorded at 1985-08-13 00:00:00.

1985-08-14 12:00:00 After, Typhoon Lee gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1985-08-14 12:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 18 track points.

Analysis of Typhoon Lee

Moving and turning toward characteristics

Typhoon Lee (198508) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific洋面, 整体路径呈现显著的“NW—NE”抛物线型Moving特征. formed初期 (8月10日06时至11日06时) , 系统位 at lat 22.7°至23.1°N, 131.3°至130.5°之间, Moving速度缓慢, 主要 toward WNW direction漂移. 自8月11日12时起, 随着Intensity增强为Tropical Storm, 其Moving direction逐渐转为稳定的NW toward , 并加速穿越E海海域.

During this period, the Typhoon center latitude jumped rapidly from lat 34.2° to 36.4°, length from lng 124.3° to 124.5°, marking the completion of the system turn toward, beginning by the W wind belt guided toward NE direction accelerated Moving.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

在Intensity变化方面, Lee经历了典型的“ formed—加强—维持—减弱”过程. 初始阶段为Nameless, max wind 12m/s. 经过约30h的缓慢增强, at 8月11日12时升级为Tropical Storm. 随后Intensity持续攀升, 在8月12日00时达到Severe Tropical Storm级别, 并 at 8月13日00时达到peak intensity, max wind 录得30m/s. 值得注意的是, 在peak intensity维持期间 (8月13日00时至18时) , 尽管The latitude大幅N移, 其Max Wind仍稳定保持在30m/s, 显示出较强的结构稳定性. 8月14日00时后, 随着Go to 高纬度冷海区, intensity 迅速衰减, 仅用12h便由Severe Tropical Storm退化为Nameless.

与同名History相比, 1985年Lee的 peak intensity is Severe Tropical Storm. 相较 at 1981年的同名Typhoon ( peak intensity is Severe Typhoon) , 1985年Lee的Intensity明显偏弱; 而与1988年的同名Typhoon (peak intensity同为Severe Tropical Storm) 相比, 两者在最高等级上持平, 但具体的气压数据因缺失无法进行更细致的热力学结构对比. 总体而言, 1985年Lee是一个生命史较短, 路径典型且未造成Landfall影响的中等Intensity热带气旋.
