Typhoon Sibyl, international code 199218, international name SIBYL, 1992 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 1992-09-04 00:00:00, ended: 1992-09-15 18:00:00. Peak intensity: Super Typhoon, minimum central pressure: 940 hPa, max wind: 56m/s.

Overview of Typhoon Sibyl

Typhoon Sibyl at 1992-09-04 00:00:00 at 19.1°N, 166.2°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.

It peaked at Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of 56 m/s (~202 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 940hPa, recorded at 1992-09-11 18:00:00.

1992-09-15 18:00:00 After, Typhoon Sibyl gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1992-09-15 18:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 48 track points.

Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Sibyl (199218) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现显著的“先W后N再NE”的抛物线型转 toward 特征. formed初期 (9月4日至7日) , 系统在165°E至166°E附近的狭窄During范围内活动, The latitude维持在19°N至21°N之间, Moving速度缓慢且 direction不定, 表现为典型的Nameless停滞整理阶段. 9月8日起, 系统开始 toward W微N, 并 at 9月9日达到最W端Position (167.7°E, 18.9°N) .

From September 10, Sibyl turns toward NW direction to accelerate Moving, crossing the 160°E cross line. From September 12 to 13, the system completed the crucial turn toward process at 27°N to 30°N latitudes, the path from NW to N, and then toward NE direction extended. Finally, the system dispersed at 40.2°N, 163.4°E at the high latitude of the ocean at September 15, 18, during the entire life cycle, Sibyl continued to be active at sea, without any Landfall record, without direct impact on land.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Sibyl's Intensity evolution underwent a complete 'formed-enhanced-top-weakened' process. The initial phase was Nameless, wind speed only 10m/s. September 8 intensified into Tropical Storm, September 9 upgraded to Typhoon. In the subsequent NW line, the system rapidly enhanced, September 10 reached the Severe Typhoon level (43m/s) , and at September 12 at 27.1°N, 157°E reached the peak of life, confirmed Super Typhoon, max wind up to 56m/s (Note: According to sample data September December 53m/s, but the targeted peak is 56m/s, here with the aim of giving the peak data as a standard description, the specific sample display continues high Intensity) .

After going to the high latitude cold water zone, influenced by vertical wind shifts and lower sea temperature, the structure rapidly collapsed, falling to Severe Tropical Storm on September 14, eventually dispersing to Tropical StormIntensity on September 15.

By contrast, Sibyl in 1992 achieved a stronger Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of 56m/s significantly higher at the same 1995 Intensity performance, showing that in 1992 the codeTyphoon had a stronger explosion force and higher energy layer.
