The SummaryTyphoon Dot (international code 198521) is a 1985 Northwest Pacific typhoon; peak intensity Super Typhoon, max wind 77m/s, minimum central pressure 895hPa, not in China Landfall, 1985-10-21 was numbered off, recorded 41 track points.
Typhoon Dot, international code 198521, international name DOT, 1985 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 1985-10-11 18:00:00, ended: 1985-10-21 18:00:00. Peak intensity: Super Typhoon, minimum central pressure: 895 hPa, max wind: 77m/s.
Typhoon Dot at 1985-10-11 18:00:00 at 7°N, 155.5°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.
It peaked at Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of 77 m/s (~277 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 895hPa, recorded at 1985-10-16 12:00:00.
1985-10-21 18:00:00 After, Typhoon Dot gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1985-10-21 18:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 41 track points.
Typhoon Dot (198521)'s life history began at 11 October 1985 at 18 o'clock of the Northwest Pacific ocean surface, initial position at 7°N, 155.5°E. From formed to dispersed, the Typhoon overall presented a stable WNMovingTrend, the whole course showed no apparent path toward or twisting phenomenon. In the early life cycle (October 11 to 13) , the system toward NW direction rapid Moving, length rapidly moved from 155.5°EW to 146.6°E, latitude synchronous N raised to 10.9°N. Go to the mid-term development phase, Moving speed was slightly adjusted, but direction remained consistent, continuing toward WPhilippines across the ocean area. Until the
The system at 14th October at 00 am intensified into Severe Tropical Storm, then rapidly upgraded to Typhoon within 24h. On 15th October at noon, its wind speed reached 56m/s, establishing the Super Typhoon status. The peak state appeared at 17th October at 00 pm, near the center Max Wind at 77m/s, at this time at 14.6°N, 128.5°E. After that, although the intensity had fluctuated, but between 16th and 18th October, its wind speed remained at 56m/s, showing strong structural stability. After 19th October, under the influence of environmental factors, the intensity began to decline significantly, wind speed dropped to 35m/s, turned to Typhoon level, and finally turned into Tropical Storm on the 21st October evening.
In comparison with the same name Typhoon only reached the 'Typhoon' level, in 1985 Dot reached the 'Super Typhoon' level. although the 1989 Dot (198905) also reached the Super Typhoon level, but the extreme wind speed of Dot77m/s in 1985 showed its extremely high destruction potential and energy layer, is one of the strongest 'Dot' Typhoon in history.
