The SummaryTyphoon Rex (international code 199804) is a 1998 Northwest Pacific typhoon; peak intensity Super Typhoon, max wind 59m/s, minimum central pressure 955hPa, not in China Landfall, 1998-09-08 was numbered off, recording 69 track points.
Typhoon Rex, international code 199804, international name REX, 1998 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 1998-08-22 12:00:00, ended: 1998-09-08 12:00:00. Peak intensity: Super Typhoon, minimum central pressure: 955 hPa, max wind: 59m/s.
Typhoon Rex at 1998-08-22 12:00:00 at 16.6°N, 130.5°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.
It peaked at Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of 59 m/s (~212 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 955hPa, recorded at 1998-08-28 06:00:00.
1998-09-08 12:00:00 After, Typhoon Rex gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1998-09-08 12:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 69 track points.
Typhoon Rex (199804) 的生命史长达17天, 整体路径呈现显著的“NW-NE”抛物线型特征. formed初期, 系统位 at Philippines以E洋面 (16.6°N, 130.5°E) , 主要 toward NW. 在8月25日至8月28日期间, 其The latitude从24.2°N迅速N抬至27.8°N, During由132.6°EE移至140.9°E, 显示引导气流逐渐由W转为N.
The key turn toward point appeared at the end of August to the beginning of September. on August 30, after the Typhoon center reached near 29.6°N, the Moving direction changed drastically, switching to toward E and NE direction accelerated Moving. on September 1 to September 2, the system significantly advanced at the latitude of about 30°N, the length quickly spread from 149.2°E to 153.7°E. Then, influenced by the W wind belt, the path further extended toward N, eventually at September 7 reached the 50°N high latitude sea area. Thro the process, the Typhoon did not landfall any land, always in open ocean activity.
Rex的Intensity变化经历了“快速增强-维持-减弱-二次增强-衰减”的复杂过程. 初始阶段为Nameless, wind speed仅10m/s. Go to Tropical Storm级别后, intensity 迅速攀升, at 8月26日达到Typhoon 级 (41m/s) . 8月28日18时, 系统在27.8°N, 140.9°E处达到peak intensity, max wind 录得59m/s, 确认为Super Typhoon等级.
It is worth noting that after the first weakening, the system showed a rare secondary enhancement. After August 30, the intensity had fallen back to the Severe Typhoon level (46m/s), but on September 1, at 12am, when the center was at 29.3°N, 149.2°E, the wind speed again rose to 51m/s, reaching the Super Typhoon standard. After that, as the latitude continued to rise to 30°N by N, the sea temperature decreased and the vertical wind switch increased, the system intensity continued to weaken. On September 5, the decline to Severe Tropical Storm, until the end of lifeined a 25-28m/swind speed in the high latitudes, eventually dispersed near 180° across the line. Compared with the other name at Typhoon, in 1998 Rex thanks to
