Path and Moving Characteristics

Typhoon Andy (198518)'s life history begins at the S Sea N area, the overall path presents a stable WS go toward . From September 27, 1985, at 00 am at 18.4°N, 117.3°E formedNameless began, the system initially Moving slow, mainly toward NW direction fine tune. Go to September 28, the path gradually turned to W direction, and accompanied by a slight toward fraction. It is worth noting that the Typhoon in latitude changes very small, alwaysined activity in the narrow band area of 17.5°N to 19.2°N, no noticeable N turn upward toward or significantly toward . until October 2,00 am dispersed at 17.5°N, 105.4°E, near its length range of approximately 12 degrees, indicating that the system

Intensity Analysis

Andy的Intensity发展经历了典型的“ formed-增强-维持-减弱”过程. 初始阶段为Nameless, wind speed12-15m/s. 9月28日中午升级为Tropical Storm, 随后迅速加强, at 9月29日06时达到Typhoon 级别 (33m/s) , 并在同日12时触及peak intensity, max wind 达35m/s. 此后, 系统在长达约60h的Time内 (9月29日12时至10月1日06时) 维持Typhoon Intensity, wind speed在33-35m/s之间波动, 显示出较强的结构稳定性. 10月1日12时起, 系统开始显著减弱, 降为Severe Tropical Storm, 并 at 次日凌晨退化为Nameless直至消散. 这种在接近peak intensity后长Time维持的特征, 暗示其所在海域环境动力条件较为有利.

Comparison of historical names

Data showed that the 1982 Andy (198209) and the 1989 Andy (198902) peak intensity both reached the 'Super Typhoon' level, while the 1985 Andy was only the ordinary 'Typhoon' level, max wind 35m/s. This suggests that although the same name, but the weather background of different years led to the existence of significant differences in its development potential, the 1985 Andy at medium intensity tropical cyclone, did not reach the level of extreme destruction.
