The SummaryTyphoon Nelson (international code 198820) is a 1988 Northwest Pacific typhoon; peak intensity Super Typhoon, max wind 71m/s, minimum central pressure 915hPa, not in China Landfall, 1988-10-08 was numbered off, recording 35 track points.
Typhoon Nelson, international code 198820, international name NELSON, 1988 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 1988-09-30 06:00:00, ended: 1988-10-08 18:00:00. Peak intensity: Super Typhoon, minimum central pressure: 915 hPa, max wind: 71m/s.
Typhoon Nelson at 1988-09-30 06:00:00 at 11.8°N, 141.7°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.
It peaked at Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of 71 m/s (~256 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 915hPa, recorded at 1988-10-04 12:00:00.
1988-10-08 18:00:00 After, Typhoon Nelson gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1988-10-08 18:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 35 track points.
Typhoon Nelson (198820) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“抛物线”型Moving特征. formed初期 (9月30日至10月2日) , 系统位 at 低The latitude海域, 受副热带高压S侧E气流引导, 稳定 toward WN. 在此期间, 中心纬度从11.8°N缓慢N抬至14.7°N, During则由141.7°EW进至130.6°E, Moving速度相对均匀.
As the system N rises up to the lat 16°-22° range, the Moving direction gradually shifts from NW to N, then reaches the latitude stagnation near the nearest latitude (21.9°N, 124.7°E) around 06:00 on October 5th, at this time the length varies very little, showing the typhoon on the latitude synchronous characteristics of the sub-high edge. After that, influenced by the air flow before the W belt, the typhoon begins to significantly turn toward NE direction to accelerate Moving. From October 6th to 8th, the center length moves rapidly from 127.7°EE to 143.6°E, the latitude synchronous pushes N to 33.6°N, completing the transition from the high latitude of the ocean
Nelson's Intensity evolution underwent rapid enhancement, peak maintenance and gradual weakening in three stages. Initial phase was Nameless, October 1st, 18:00 intensified into Tropical Storm, followed in 48h continuously across Severe Tropical Storm, Typhoon and Severe Typhoon levels. October 3rd, 18:00, system explosion enhancement to Super Typhoon, max wind to 59m/s. October 4th, 18:00 reached life history peak, max wind recorded 71m/s, andined the extreme intensity within 12h. Peak state lasted about 36h, until October 6th, 06:00 began slowly weakening, but even after turning toward NE July 06:00, it stillined 59m/s Super TyphoonIntensity, showing extremely strong structural stability.
Compared with the same name History, the 1988 Nelson peak intensity (71m/s, Super Typhoon) was significantly higher at 1985 Nelson (198510, peak Severe Typhoon), and the 1982 Nelson (198202, peak Super Typhoon) was equal to the High Intensity ladder.
