Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Owen (198606)'s life history began at Northwest Pacific Ocean, the overall path showed a stable NW toward MovingTrend, then gradually shifted toward NE direction. From the formed initial coordinate sequence, the system during June 28 00 to June 29 18 hours, mainlyined toward WN, the latitude slowly increased from 15.3°N to 17°N, the length then dispersed from 135.3°EW to 129.2°E, the Moving speed was relatively uniform. After reaching the most W-end Position, the path showed obvious signs of turning. Since June 30th, the system Moving direction gradually shifted from NW to NW, and then toward NE direction deviated.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

在Intensity变化方面, Typhoon Owen经历了一个完整的“增强-巅峰-减弱”过程. 初始阶段为Nameless, max wind 15m/s. 经过约30h的持续加强, at 6月29日06时升级为Tropical Storm, 并在同日18时达到生命史中的peak intensity, 评定为Severe Tropical Storm, max wind 录得25m/s. 巅峰状态维持Time较短, 仅约6h后, 自6月30日06时起开始减弱, 重新降格为Tropical Storm, 并随着The latitude升高进一步 weakened into Nameless, 直至最终消散.

Data show that the 1994s, 1990s, 1982s and 1979s of the same name typhoon peak intensity both reached typhoon level or Super Typhoon level, of which 1990s, 1982s and 1979s Owen more reached Super Typhoon level.
