Typhoon Ben, international code 198618, international name BEN, 1986 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 1986-09-19 00:00:00, ended: 1986-09-30 06:00:00. Peak intensity: Super Typhoon, minimum central pressure: 920 hPa, max wind: 61m/s.
Typhoon Ben at 1986-09-19 00:00:00 at 10.5°N, 160.4°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.
It peaked at Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of 61 m/s (~220 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 920hPa, recorded at 1986-09-25 00:00:00.
1986-09-30 06:00:00 After, Typhoon Ben gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1986-09-30 06:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 46 track points.
Typhoon Ben (198618) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“W进后转 toward NE”的抛物线形态. formed初期 (9月19日至22日) , 系统自160.4°E附近 toward NW, The latitude从10.5°N缓慢提升至16.9°N, During持续W移, 此阶段Moving速度相对平稳. 9月23日至25日期间, Typhoon 维持WNW路径, 深入至140°E以W海域, 并在9月25日00:00到达最W端Position (19.7°N, 140.0°E) .
After 18:00 on September 25, the Typhoon center began to gradually shift toward N, and at 28 before September after completed the shift by N toward NE direction toward . September 28, 18:00 to 30 September 06:00, the system accelerated toward NE, the latitude rapidly climbed from 29°N to 38.9°N, the length also declined from 142.7°EE to 154.1°E. During the entire life cycle, the Typhoon did not landfall any land, always active on the ocean surface, and eventually weakened dispersion in high latitudes.
Ben's Intensity evolution underwent rapid enhancement, peak maintenance and gradual weakening in three stages. Initial phase was Nameless, September 20 intensified into Tropical Storm, and September 23 developed into Typhoon . September 24 to 25 is its main outbreak period, max wind jumping from 48m/s to 61m/s, reaching Super Typhoon level, which is also the peak intensity in its history.
In comparison, Ben's intensity in 1986 was significantly higher at previous record. 1983's 6th Typhoon Ben and 1979's 23th Typhoon Ben's peak intensity were only Severe Tropical Storm level.
