Analysis of Typhoon Tess

Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Tess (198826)'s life began at the Northwest Pacific surface, the overall path showed a stable WS toward . Initial phase (November 1st to 3rd) , system position at 15°N, 130°E near, then toward SW, latitude gradually dropped from 15°N to 9.3°N, length moved from 130°EW to 119.8°E. During this period, Typhoon Center changes slowly, Moving speed relatively uniform, no apparent sudden turns or stagnation phenomena occurred.

Go to November 4th, the direction of the path is subtly adjusted, turning to almost right W. From November 4th 06:00 to November 6th 18:00, the latitudeins fluctuations within the narrow range of 9.2°N to 11°N, while the length moves from 118.5°E to W rapidly to 108.2°E, crossing the central waters of the S Sea. Thro the life cycle, the Typhoon has no landfall records, always in marine activity, and finally at November 6th 18:00 at 10.9°N, decreased dispersion near 108.2°E.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Tess的Intensity演变具有典型的“后期爆发”特征. 在生命史的前半段 (11月1日至11月4日中午) , 系统长期维持Nameless等级, max wind 保持在10-17m/s之间, 发展缓慢. 转折点出现在11月4日18:00, 系统增强为Tropical Storm (20m/s) , 随后在11月5日00:00迅速 intensified into Severe Tropical Storm (28m/s) . peak intensity出现在11月5日12:00至11月6日00:00期间, 达到Typhoon intensity with max winds of 录得33m/s, 并维持了约18h. 此后, 系统迅速减弱, 从11月6日06:00开始降级, 直至消散前降回NamelessIntensity.

Compared to the previous typhoon, Tess's peak intensity (Typhoon level, 33m/s) in 1988 was at a medium level. Compared to Tess in 1975 (Severe Typhoon peak) and Tess in 1985 (Typhoon peak), its intensity was slightly weaker; but significantly strong at Tess in 1978 (Severe Tropical Storm peak) and Tess in 1982 (Nameless peak).
