Typhoon Fred Route Analysis
Track and Turning Characteristics
Typhoon Fred (199417) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“W行—NW行—转 toward NE”的抛物线形态. formed初期 (8月14日至16日) , 系统主要受副热带高压S侧引导气流影响, 稳定 toward WMoving, 纬度维持在17°N至18°N之间, 经度从148°E快速W移至139.3°E. 8月17日后, 路径逐渐转为NW direction, 并 toward 高纬度地区推进.
The key turning point occurred from August 20 to 21. After reaching peak intensity, the typhoon center was located at 22.4°N, 125.2°E at 02:00 on August 20 and continued moving north. By 14:00 on August 21, the center had moved to 27°N, 122°E, where its track began curving markedly from northwest toward north and then northeast. The system subsequently accelerated toward the northeast before weakening and dissipating near 38.2°N, 123.8°E on August 25. Throughout its entire lifecycle, the typhoon made no landfall and remained at sea.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
Fred underwent the full lifecycle of intensification, peak intensity, and weakening, with a notably powerful burst of intensification. Starting as a tropical depression on August 14 with winds of 12m/s and a central pressure of 1004hPa, the system rapidly organized and strengthened while moving westward. It became a typhoon on August 17 and a severe typhoon on August 19. Its most rapid intensification occurred from August 19 to 20, when maximum wind speeds surged from 50m/s to 55m/s and minimum central pressure fell to 935hPa within less than two days, reaching super typhoon intensity.
Peak intensity was brief, with intensity beginning to decline at 20:00 on August 20, reducing it to severe typhoon status. After moving into higher latitudes, the system rapidly weakened due to changes in the surrounding environment. It was downgraded to a severe tropical storm on August 22 and further weakened into a tropical depression on August 23, remaining at that intensity until the end of its lifecycle.
Compared with the typhoon of the same name, the 1991 Fred (199111) reached a peak intensity of only severe typhoon status, with a minimum central pressure of 960hPa. By contrast, the peak intensity of Fred in 1994 featured a central pressure 25hPa lower and maximum wind speeds 5m/s higher, indicating greater accumulated energy and explosive potential. It was a more intense open-ocean typhoon.
