Track Characteristics and Moving Trends

Typhoon Sarah (198611) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific洋面, 整体路径呈现典型的“NW-NE”抛物线型转 toward 特征. formed初期 (7月30日至7月31日) , 系统位 at 15°N附近, 稳定 toward NW, During从130.5°E迅速W移至124.2°E, The latitude缓慢N抬至17.1°N. 8月1日至8月2日上午, Typhoon 在124°E-125°E附近经历短暂的停滞少动阶段, 随后路径发生显著转折, 由NW toward 转为NE toward Moving. 这一转 toward 过程伴随着纬度的快速增加, 从8月2日的19.8°N迅速N跳至8月4日的36.2°N, 经度也同步E退至143°E. 整个过程中, Typhoon 未Landfall任何陆地, 始终在海上活动, 最终在高纬度海域减弱消散.

Intensity Analysis

The Typhoon Intensity change has obvious phase characteristics. the initial period is Nameless, max windins at 15m/s. The 31st July noon enhanced to Tropical Storm, wind speed raises to 20m/s, and thenins 23m/s stable intensity for about 36h. On the 2nd August noon, the system further intensified into Severe Tropical Storm, wind speed reaches 25m/s, and at 3rd August 00:00 reaches peak intensity, max wind records 28m/s. It is worth noting that the peak stateins Time shorter, only about 6h after, as the system accelerates toward NEGo direction to high-latitude cold water zone and W wind belt impact range, intensity begins to decline rapidly.

Comparison of Typhoon

In the sequence of the name 'Sarah', the 1986 Sarah is at medium weak Intensity tropical cyclone. compared with the 1989 Sarah (198921) , the latter developed as a Super Typhoon, the intensity far exceeds this year; compared with the 1977 Sarah (197703, Typhoon ), the 1986 Sarah's peak intensity is also significantly lower. however, compared to the 1983 (198301) and the 1979 1979 Sarah (all Tropical Storm), 1986 Sarah reaches the Severe Tropical Storm level, its peak wind speed28m/s high at pure Tropical Storm level upper limit, showing a relatively strong structural integrity.
