Typhoon Gordon, international code 198908, international name GORDON, 1989 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 1989-07-09 00:00:00, ended: 1989-07-19 00:00:00. Peak intensity: Super Typhoon, minimum central pressure: 915 hPa, max wind: 71m/s.
Typhoon Gordon at 1989-07-09 00:00:00 at 20°N, 160.2°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 1989-07-15 06:00:00.
Typhoon Gordon gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1989-07-19 00:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 41 track points.
Typhoon Gordon (198908)'s life begins at the Northwest Pacific Ocean, the overall path represents a stable WN going toward.From July 9 at 00 am at (20°N, 160.2°E) formed Nameless, the system continues toward WMoving, across the vast ocean surface.During the period July 9 to July 14, the latitude slowly drops from 20°N to 16.3°N, and the length shifts significantly from 160.2°EW to 130.2°E, showing a strong and sustained W guiding effect.
It is worth noting that after the system arrived at 00:00 on July 15 (16.6°N, 126.2°E) near the Moving direction, there was a subtle twist, the latitude began to rebound, from the previous S pressure to N elevation. by July 19th, before disintegration, CenterN moved to 22.2°N, the length further W into 107.7°E. Thro the life cycle, the Typhoon did not landfall any land, was always active at sea, and eventually weakened in the waters of the nearby Central S Peninsula Ecoastal.
Gordon的Intensity演变经历了完整的“ formed-增强-巅峰-减弱”过程, 且爆发力极强. 初期作为Nameless维持了约3天, wind speed在7m/s至17m/s之间波动. 7月12日18时升级为Severe Tropical Storm后, Go to 快速增强期. 仅用不到3天Time, max wind 从25m/s飙升至71m/s, at 7月15日18时在(17.9°N, 122.6°E)达到Super Typhoon级别, 这也是其生命史中的最强时刻.
From 71m/s at 18:00 on July 15 to 17m/s at 18:00 on July 18, wind speed decreased by more than 50m/s in just 3 days, reduced to Nameless, showing rapid decline after leaving the heated water zone or experiencing a vertical wind shift.
In 1985, Gordon only for Tropical Storm level, in 1979 Gordon for Severe Tropical Storm level, are far weaker at this year's Super Typhoon Intensity.
