Overview of Typhoon Ophelia

Typhoon Ophelia at 1990-06-15 06:00:00 at 5.7°N, 140.5°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.

It peaked at Severe Typhoon intensity with max winds of 46 m/s (~166 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 970hPa, recorded at 1990-06-22 18:00:00.

1990-06-25 12:00:00 After, Typhoon Ophelia gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1990-06-25 12:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 42 track points.

Track Track and Turn toward characteristics

Typhoon Ophelia (199005) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific低The latitude海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“抛物线”型Moving特征. formed初期 (6月15日至18日) , 系统在5.7°N至9.5°N之间缓慢 toward WN, During从140.5°EW进至131.4°E, 此阶段主要受低层信风引导, Moving速度相对平缓. 6月19日后, 随着系统逐渐增强并N上, 其Moving direction发生显著改变, 由W行转为NW行, 并 at 6月21日至22日期间加速穿越Philippines以E洋面, 经度迅速从126.7°E移至122.5°E.

The key turn toward point appeared around 18:00 on June 22, at the center position at 21.3°N, 121.7°E. Then, the path curvature increased, the system began toward NE direction curvature. on June 23-25th, the Typhoon along Japan with the S ocean toward NE direction rapidly Moving, the latitude rapidly climbed from 24.7°N to 36.7°N, the length also toward E backflow to 126.4°E. During the entire life cycle, the system did not landfall any land, was always active at sea, and eventually decayed in high latitude cold sea waters.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

In terms of Intensity evolution, Ophelia underwent a complete 'formed-development-top-decrease' process. The initial phase was Nameless,ining about 4 days after at June 19 upgraded to Tropical Storm. Then Go to Fast Enhancement, in less than 3 days Time developed from Tropical Storm to Severe Typhoon. June 22 at 18:00 reached the peak of life history, max wind recorded 46m/s, qualified as Severe Typhoon. It is worth noting that after the peak, Intensity returned quickly, 24h internal wind speed from 46m/s to 38m/s, and then further weakened into Nameless within 48h, showing that it was significantly affected by the environment after Go to high latitude, structural destruction faster.

Compared with the same name History, Ophelia's Intensity in 1990 was between the 1960s and 1993s of the same type Typhoon. 1960s 27th Typhoon Ophelia had reached Super Typhoon level, intensity far exceeding this year's 46m/s; and 1993s 5th Typhoon Ophelia peak was only Tropical Storm, intensity significantly weak at 1990s system.
