Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon 葛拉斯 (199418) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现显著的“先N后W再NE”的复杂折线形态. formed初期 (8月19日至22日) , 系统自11.8°N, 156.7°E附近 toward NW, The latitude迅速提升至24.2°N, During变化相对较小, 表现为典型的 toward N推进阶段. 随后在8月24日至25日期间, 路径出现明显的W折迹象, Center从156.6°E大幅W移至154.1°E, 标志着引导气流发生转变.

Go to 8月下旬后期, Typhoon 主体持续 toward W穿越广阔洋面, at 8月31日抵达125.1°E附近, 此时已深入E海海域. 值得注意的是, 该Typhoon 全程无Landfall记录, 最终在9月2日 at 31.5°N, 116.7°E weakened into Nameless并结束监测. 整个生命周期长达14天以上, track points多达60个, 显示其在海上维持了较长Time的Active状态, 且Moving速度在不同阶段存在显著差异, 前期N上较快, 中期W行稳定, 后期转 toward NE入海.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

葛拉斯的Intensity演变过程具有典型的“双峰”或波动增强特征, 且peak intensity极高. 初始阶段仅为7m/s的Nameless, 经过近一周的缓慢整合, at 8月25日增强为Severe Tropical Storm (28m/s) . 随后在8月26日达到Typhoon 级别 (35m/s) , 虽在8月27日短暂 weakened into Severe Tropical Storm, 但并未消散, 反而在W行过程中重新组织.

The most notable improvement occurred on August 31, the center wind speed jumped to 43m/s, reaching Severe Typhoon level. According to the data recorded, its peak intensity reached Super Typhoon level, max wind up to 53m/s, showing extremely strong explosive force. however, with the latitude rising and approaching the edge of the continent, the system rapidly weakened into Tropical Storm (23m/s) on September 1, and at the next day further declined to Nameless.

Compared to History, the Peak Intensity of 1991 was only typhoon, while the Peak Intensity of 1994 not only reached Super Typhoon, but also Max Wind53m/s far above the previous one, suggesting that the energy accumulation of 1994 typhoon was more adequate, the potential for destruction was significantly higher in theoretical values at 1991 typhoon .
