Typhoon Elsie Trail Characteristics

Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Elsie (198929)'s life history began at 13 October 1989 at 00, the initial Position position at lat 14°N, 137° near the Nameless area. In the formed early, the system presented a marked WNMovingTrend, from 137°E rapid W move to 130°E near. It is worth noting that during 14 to 15 October, its latitude was essentiallyined between 16.1°N to 16.2°N, the length change slowed, showing a short stagnation or slow W move characteristics. Subsequently, the Typhoon body Go to stable W line phase, the path parallel along the latitude Moving, from 16 October to 129.4°Eward continued to pass through the Vietnam Sea, until 22 October dispersed at 104.5°E. Thro the life cycle, the system did

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

From October 15 intensified into Tropical Storm (23m/s), the system rapidly upgraded to Severe Tropical Storm within 24h, and at October 16 at 18h reached Super Typhoon level (51m/s) . In the following three days, intensity continued to climb, max wind increased from 64m/s to 66m/s, and at October 19 at 00 reached life peak, max wind recorded 71m/s, confirmed to be Super Typhoon level. However, peak stateined Time extremely short, after only about 36h, environmental factors influenced, intensity appeared cliff down.

Compared with the same name Typhoon only reached NamelessIntensity in 1988, and the Super Typhoon records in 1992, 1981 and 1975, in 1989 Elsie not only reached the Super Typhoon level, but also made a very high wind speed record of 71m/s, showing its extreme weather system in the same name sequence at Intensity first ladder.
