Track Track and Moving Features

1985年第13号Typhoon “Ruby”的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific洋面, 整体路径呈现显著的“先NW后NE”的抛物线型转 toward 特征. formed初期 (8月27日00时至12时) , 系统位 at lat 21.6°至22.3°N, 139°至141.2°之间, 主要 toward NW direction缓慢Moving. 随后, 受大气环流引导, 其Moving direction逐渐转为N. 8月28日06时至12时, Typhoon 中心The latitude从24.7°N快速N移至25.7°N, 而During维持在143.9°E附近, 显示出明显的经 toward 加速Trend.

The crucial turning point of the path appeared between 18 and 29 August. At this time after the Typhoon center reached lat 26.8° nearby, the Moving direction began to gradually shift from right N to NE. Since then, the system continued toward High latitude waterway advancement, until 31 August 06:00 dispersed at lat 39.2°N, 142.6° of the ocean region. Thro the life cycle, the Typhoon did not landfall any land, always in marine activity, path smooth and regular, in line with the characteristics of the turn toward path under the influence of the typical medium latitude W wind belt.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

In terms of intensity changes, “Ruby” underwent rapid enhancement, peak maintenance and gradual weakening in three phases. On August 27, at 18, the system by Nameless intensified into Tropical Storm (20m/s) and at the next day at 00 am quickly upgraded to Severe Tropical Storm (25m/s) . On August 28, at 18, its Max Wind reached a peak of 28m/s, and on this Intensityined about 36h (to August 29, at 18h) , showing strong structural stability.

Its peak intensity is only Severe Tropical Storm, max wind 28m/s. In comparison, the same name Typhoon in 1988, 1982 and 1976 reached Typehoon or Super Typhoon level, intensity significantly higher at this year's system. Only the 3rd 'Ruby' in 1970 is equivalent to its Intensity, equal to the Severe Tropical Storm level.
