Track Track and Moving Features

1988年第24号Typhoon “Ruby” at 10月20日12时在Philippines以E洋面 (10°N, 138°E) formed, 初始为Nameless. 其整体路径呈现稳定的NW toward MovingTrend, 全程未出现明显的转 toward 或停滞现象. 从 formed至消散, Typhoon 中心The latitude由10°N逐渐N抬至18.2°N, During则由138°EW行至108.5°E, 横跨了广阔的Northwest Pacific海域并Go to S海N部.

在Moving速度方面, 初期 (10月20日至21日) Typhoon 在低The latitude地区Moving相对缓慢, 随后随着Intensity增强, toward W推进的速度明显加快. 特别是在10月22日至24日的快速增强期, Typhoon 中心在短Time内跨越了多个During, 显示出较强的引导气流作用. 直至10月26日后, 随着系统Go to S海N部并逐渐减弱, 其Moving路径略微偏 toward WNW direction, 最终 at 10月28日18时在Hainan岛以W洋面 weakened into Nameless并 was numbered off. 值得注意的是, 该Typhoon 全生命周期内无Landfall记录, 始终在海上活动.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Intensity evolution of 'Ruby' has a typical 'fast enhancement, peak maintenance short, gradually weakening' characteristics. Starting from October 22 intensified into Tropical Storm, the system completed the leap from Tropical Storm to Super Typhoon in about 48h. On October 24th at 12 a.m., Typhoon reached peak intensity, max wind up to 64m/s, rated as Super Typhoon level. However, the peak stateined Time is shorter, after only 12h (October 25th at 00) , max wind gradually dropped to 46m/s, reduced to Serevere Typhoon, showing that the structure could be rapidly disintegrated by environmental factors.

Compared with previously the same name Typhoon, the 1988 'Ruby' Intensity is significantly higher at recent synchronous system. Compared with the 1985 (Severe Tropical Storm) and 1970 (Severe Tropical Storm) 'Ruby', this type of Typhoon Intensity is higher than two levels; even compared to the 1982 (Typhoon) its 64m/s peak wind speed is more destructive.
