Track Characteristics and Moving Trends

Typhoon Nichole (199801) 的生命周期始 at 1998年7月7日00时, 终 at 7月12日18时, 全程未Landfall. 从空间轨迹来看, 该Typhoon 整体呈现“先NE后N”的Moving态势, 路径相对短促且曲折. formed初期 (7月7日至8日) , 系统位 at lat 18.3°至22°N, 117°至119°之间, 主要 toward NE, The latitude增加约3.7度, During增加约2度. 7月9日00时至12时, Moving direction转为E, 抵达最E端Position (23°N, 120.1°E) , 此处可视为路径的转 toward 关键点. 随后, 受环境场引导气流变化影响, typhoon track发生显著折返, 自7月10日00时起转为 toward WS, 经度从120.1°E回退至118.1°E附近. 7月12日00时后, 路径再次调整为正N direction, 直至消散. 整个过程中, Typhoon 在狭窄的海域范围内活动, 未对陆地造成直接冲击.

Intensity Evolution and Life Cycle

Nichole's Intensity change has a typical 'fast enhancement, rapid weakening' characteristic. The initial stage is Nameless, wind speed 7m/s. In the following 48h, the system continues to strengthen, wind speed steadily increased to 17m/s. On July 9, at 12 a.m., Typhoon reached the peak intensity in life history, upgraded to Severe Tropical Storm, max wind recorded 25m/s. However, the peak stateins Time extremely short, after only 12h (on July 10, 00) , the intensity sharply drops back to the Nameless level (15m/s) . Since then until disintegration, the system remains at NamelessIntensity, wind speed fluctuates between 10m/s to 12m/s, no signs of second enhancement.

Historical comparison

As the 1st Typhoon in 1998, Nichole belonged to a weaker intensity at Intensity. Its peak intensity was only Severe Tropical Storm (25m/s), far lower at Super Typhoon level. Compared to other typhoons of the same name in history, the life cycle of the 199801 Nichole was shorter (about 5.75 days) and there was no landfall record, disaster impact was relatively limited.
