Typhoon Lee, international code 198818, international name LEE, 1988 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 1988-09-16 06:00:00, ended: 1988-09-24 12:00:00. Peak intensity: Severe Tropical Storm, minimum central pressure: 990 hPa, max wind: 28m/s.
Typhoon Lee at 1988-09-16 06:00:00 at 15°N, 157°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.
It peaked at Severe Tropical Storm intensity with max winds of 28 m/s (~101 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 990hPa, recorded at 1988-09-21 18:00:00.
1988-09-24 12:00:00 After, Typhoon Lee gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1988-09-24 12:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 34 track points.
Typhoon Lee (198818) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的W行后转 toward NE的抛物线形态. formed初期 (9月16日至19日) , 系统位 at 15°N-18°N, 157°E-140°E之间, 受副热带高压S侧引导气流影响, 保持稳定的W, The latitude变化微小, During toward W推进约17个经度. 9月20日后, 随着系统逐渐接近Philippines以E洋面, Moving速度略有放缓, 但仍维持W行Trend.
When the Center reaches 127.9°E nearby, the path begins from pure W toward to NW toward, followed by a noticeable turn toward movement between 18:00 and 06:00 on 23 September. At this time the latitude rises from 20.7°N rapidly to 26.3°N, the length from 127.9°E to 128.8°E, showing the characteristics of the system Go to W after the wind belt is guided by the Sw air flow before the slope and accelerates toward NE. Thro the life cycle, the Typhoon has not landfall any land, always at sea activity, and finally at noon on 24 September at 27.4°N, 130.3°E weakened nearby and ended observations.
In terms of Intensity changes, Typhoon Lee showed the characteristics of 'long-term low-pressure state, later short-term improvement'. From September 16 formed to the evening of September 20, the systemined the Nameless level for up to 4 days, max windined at 12m/s, showing its early development was relatively slow. Until September 20 at 18:00, wind speed increased to 15m/s, and at the next morning upgraded to Tropical Storm (23m/s). On September 21 at 18:00, the system reached peak intensity, set to Severe Tropical Storm, max wind 28m/s. It is worth noting that after reaching its peak, the Intensityined until September 23 at 18:00, lasting about 3 days, followed by Go to higher latitudes after rapidly weakened into Tropical Storm (20m
Compared to History, Lee's peak intensity (Severe Tropical Storm, 28m/s) in 1988 was weak at 24th Typhoon Lee (Severe Typhoon level) in 1981, but the peak level of 8th Typhoon Lee (Severe Tropical Storm) in 1985 was comparable.
