Typhoon Zeb, international code 199809, international name ZEB, 1998 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 1998-10-07 18:00:00, ended: 1998-10-18 12:00:00. Peak intensity: Super Typhoon, minimum central pressure: 900 hPa, max wind: 79m/s.

Overview of Typhoon Zeb

Typhoon Zeb at 1998-10-07 18:00:00 at 11.2°N, 151°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.

It peaked at Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of 79 m/s (~284 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 900hPa, recorded at 1998-10-13 12:00:00.

1998-10-18 12:00:00 After, Typhoon Zeb gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1998-10-18 12:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 44 track points.

Typhoon Zeb Trail Characteristics

Track Track and Turn toward characteristics

Typhoon Zeb (199809) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“W进-N折-NE转 toward ”抛物线形态. formed初期 (10月7日至10日) , 系统位 at 低The latitude海域 (约11°N附近) , 受引导气流影响, 主要维持 toward WW, During从151°E迅速W移至138°E, 纬度变化极小, 显示出稳定的纬 toward 运动特征.

As the system Intensity reached its peak and approached the 125°E near sea area, its Moving direction began to change significantly. Coordinate data showed that October 12 at 06:00 at the center at 12.2°N, 131.2°E, until October 14 at 12:00 had N raised to 17.7°N, 121.4°E, then continued toward NE direction acceleration. After October 16, Typhoon Go to the mid-high latitude area, the path clearly turned to NE toward, the length re-toward E expansion, and finally dispersed at October 18 at 45.8°N, 145°E near the ocean.

Intensity evolution and rapid explosion

Zeb's Intensity evolution has the distinctive characteristics of 'fast enhancement, peak maintenance short, rapid weakening'. the system only intensified into Tropical Storm (23m/s) on October 10, but underwent explosive enhancement in less than 48h afterwards. October 12 at 06 am has jumped to Super Typhoon (51m/s) , and at October 13 at 18 at reached life history peak, max wind up to 79m/s. This process in a short time from Tropical Storm level to Super Typhoon level, reflects the extreme favorable support of ocean thermal conditions to the development of Typhoon.

On October 14, at 12 a.m., the max wind has dropped to 51m/s, dropping to 28m/s, showing that it is severely suppressed by environmental field changes near the turn toward point. Then, with the system toward NMovingGo to High latitude cold sea zone, the intensity continues to decline, gradually weakened into Typhoon by Severe Typhoon, Severe Tropical Storm.
