Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Brenda (198519) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific洋面, 整体路径呈现典型的“NW行转NE”抛物线形态. formed初期 (9月29日至30日) , 系统位 at 16°N-17°N, 130°E-133°E海域, Moving direction主要为WN, 移速相对缓慢. Go to 10月1日后, 随着The latitude逐渐N抬至17.4°N以上, 路径转 toward 更为明显的NW direction, 并持续 toward 我国E海以E海域靠近.

The crucial turning point of the path appeared between 18:00 on October 3 and 06:00 on October 4. During this period, the Typhoon center latitude jumped from 23°N rapidly to 26°N, the length change slowed (123°E to 122.6°E) , showing it was significantly enhanced by the influence of the wind belt guided airflow, starting from NW line to NEMoving. After 18:00 on October 4, the path completely turned toward NE, the center quickly crossed the 30°N line, and finally at 06:00 on October 5 reached 33.8°N, 128°E nearby. Thro the life cycle, the Typhoon did not landfall any land, always in maritime activity.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Brenda's Intensity evolution underwent a complete 'formed-enhanced-top-weakened' process. September 29th was Nameless phase, max wind only 10-15m/s. On the evening of September 30th, upgraded to Tropical Storm, then rapidly enhanced between October 1 and 2, wind speed climbed from 23m/s to 38m/s, and at October 2nd at 18:00 reached Typhoon level (41m/s) . October 3rd at 06:00, the system further developed to Severe Typhoon, max wind reached peak 46m/s. It is worth noting that the peak intensityined about 36h (April 06:00) , during the Center though toward NMoving, but Intensity remained stable, showing good structural integrity.

From 18:00 on October 4th, as the latitude increased and the possible vertical wind shift increased, Typhoon began to weaken, wind speed dropped to 41m/s, and further dropped to 33m/s after 24h, returning to the normal Typhoon level.

Compared to the typhoon, Brendah (198903) peak intensity in 1989 was only 'Typhoon' level, while Brendah in 1985 reached 'Severe Typhoon' level, max wind 46m/s. Data showed that Brendah in 1985 was significantly superior to the intensity at 1989 typhoon, which belonged to the more powerful typhoon system in the autumn.
