Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Val (198827) formed at Northwest Pacific低The latitude海域, 其生命史呈现出典型的W行后减速停滞特征. 从1988年12月21日06:00在5°N, 141.5°E初生为Nameless开始, 系统整体 toward NW. 在初期阶段 (12月21日至22日) , Typhoon Moving速度较快, During从141.5°E迅速W移至131.9°E, 纬度由5°NN抬至11.1°N, 显示出稳定的NW行进Trend.

As the system approached the Philippines at E, the Moving path changed significantly. After 06:00 on December 23, the Typhoon shift slowed significantly, the path curvature increased, gradually turning to W and stagnant. Especially after the peak intensity was reached at 00:00 on December 24, the Center wandered in the narrow area of 14.7°N to 15°N, 125°E to 124.3°E, and the level shift was very small.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

In terms of Intensity evolution, Val underwent a complete reinforcement process from Nameless to Severe Tropical Storm, then rapidly weakened. The systemined NamelessIntensity before 18:00 on December 22, wind speed fluctuated between 10-15m/s. On December 23, 12:00, wind speed increased to 20m/s, upgraded to Tropical Storm, and continued to enhance within 12h. On December 24, 00:00, Typhoon reached peak intensity, max wind recorded 28m/s, qualified as Severe Tropical Storm. However, the peak stateined Time extremely short, only 6hwind speed began to decline, and by the end of December 25, 00:00, has weakened into 20m/s Tropical Storm, showing the characteristics of its rapidly loose structure at the end of its life.

Compared to History, Val's peak intensity in 1988 was equivalent to Val's peak intensity in 1985 (198516) and Val's peak intensity in 1982 (198207) and all reached the Severe Tropical Storm level. In contrast, Val's peak intensity in 1995 (199517) was only Tropical Storm Intensity.
