Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Agnes (198806) 的生命周期始 at Northwest Pacific洋面, 整体路径呈现显著的“先SW后NE”的折线型特征. formed初期 (7月26日至28日凌晨) , 系统位 at lat 27°至20°N, 135°至141°之间, 主要受引导气流影响 toward SW direction缓慢Moving. 在此期间, The latitude从27°N持续下降至20.6°N, During toward E推进约5个经度, 显示出稳定的WSWMovingTrend.

The key turning point of the path appeared between 06:00 and 12:00 on July 28th. After the system reached the most S-side Position (20.6°N, 140.9°E), the Moving direction was fundamentally reversed, by Sw turning toward NE. Then, the Typhoon accelerated toward High-latitude sea area, until July 31st dispersed at 33.3°N, 144.2°E near. Thro the process, the Typhoon did not landfall any land, was always active on the open ocean surface, its path shape conformed to the typical mid-latitude W-band wind turning toward characteristics, and accelerated significantly after the turn toward, the latitude rapidly increased by more than 12 degrees in less than three days.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

In terms of Intensity changes, Agnes is characterized by 'long-term low pressure maintenance, short-term improvement' during the first two-thirds of the life cycle.In the first two-thirds of the life cycle (July 26-29) , the system has long-term maintenance in the Nameless level, the center Max Wind remains in the range of 10-17m/s, the intensity fluctuations are smaller.Until July 29 at 18:00, with the system toward NMoving, wind speed increased to 20m/s, officially upgraded to Tropical Storm. peak intensity appeared on July 30 at 00:00 and July 31 at 00:00, the max wind reached 23m/s, but still limited at Tropical Storm level, not reaching the Typhoon Intensity standard.It is worth noting that the

Compared to the same name, Agnes' Intensity in 1988 was significantly weaker. Data showed that 1984 Agnes (198418) had developed into the peak Super Typhoon, 1981 Agnes (198114) also reached the Severe Typhoon level. In comparison, 1988 Agnes only reached the Tropical Storm level, max wind was only 23m/s, and lack of detailed air pressure data supporting its deep pair development.
