Typhoon Clara, international code 198808, international name CLARA, 1988 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 1988-08-07 06:00:00, ended: 1988-08-12 06:00:00. Peak intensity: Tropical Storm, minimum central pressure: 994 hPa, max wind: 23m/s.
Typhoon Clara at 1988-08-07 06:00:00 at 28.2°N, 167°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.
It peaked at Tropical Storm intensity with max winds of 23 m/s (~83 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 994hPa, recorded at 1988-08-11 00:00:00.
Typhoon Clara gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1988-08-12 06:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 21 track points.
Typhoon Clara (198808) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现显著的W行后折 toward NE的“V”型或钩状特征. formed初期 (8月7日至8月9日) , 系统位 at lat 28度附近, lng 167度至163度之间, 主要受引导气流影响 toward W缓慢Moving. 在此期间, The latitude变化极小, 基本维持在28.2°N至28.8°N的狭窄带状区域内, During则从167.0°E稳步W移至163.6°E, 显示出稳定的W行进Trend.
After the system arrived at the most W-end position (about 161.4°E-162.3°E), the Moving direction changed significantly, from pure W-line to WNW, then gradually shifted toward NE. After August 11, with the latitude rising rapidly from 28.4°N to 30.3°N, the length also synchronized toward E to 161.3°E, indicating that the system has gone to the mid-high latitude W-band impact area, accelerating toward NE direction shift.
In terms of Intensity, Clara appears to be a loose structure, the weaker heat cycling system of Intensity. From the Nameless (12m/s) when formed on August 7th, its wind speedined at about 15m/s in Time for up to three days, Pressure data was missing, but wind speed stagnation showed its development was limited. until August 10th at 18, the system was enhanced to Tropical Storm, max wind reached 20m/s, and at August 11th at 00:00 to 06:00 reached peak intensity 23m/s. However, this peak state was brief, only afterining about 12h, the system rapidly weakened back to Nameless (17m/s) , andined this Intensity until the end of life history.
Looking back to previous records, in 1984, 1981 and 1967 Claras had developed to top Super Typhoon, with great destruction potential; even in 1976 with the same name Typhoon, its peak intensity is only Tropical Storm. in 1988 Claras although with the 1976 version is the same Tropical Storm level, but its Max Wind23m/s at Tropical Storm's lower limit range, and lack of Landfall records, belonging to the typical ocean weak Typhoon process, the surrounding region does not pose a direct threat.
