Typhoon Zeb Trail Characteristics
Track and Turning 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“NW行—N转—NE移”抛物线形态. formed初期 (10月10日至12日) , 系统位 at 低纬度海域 (10°N-12°N) , 受副热带高压S侧引导气流影响, 稳定 toward WNW, 经度从141.5°E快速W进至130.2°E. 10月13日至14日为路径关键转折期, 系统在17°N附近达到最W端Position (121.4°E-122.7°E区间) , 随后受W风带槽前气流牵引, Moving direction逐渐由NW转为正N, 进而转 toward NE. 10月15日后, Typhoon 加速 toward 高纬度海域Moving, 最终 at 10月18日在36.9°N, 135.8°E附近减弱消散. 全生命周期内无Landfall记录, 主要活动范围集中在开阔洋面.
Intensity Evolution and Peak Status
Zeb’s intensity underwent three stages: rapid intensification, peak maintenance, and rapid weakening. It began as a tropical depression and intensified into a tropical storm on October 11 before entering the rapid-intensification phase. Within 48 hours, from 20:00 on October 12 to 08:00 on October 14, central pressure plummeted from 970 hPa to 905 hPa, while maximum wind speed surged from 35 m/s to 65 m/s, establishing its status as a super typhoon. At 08:00 on October 14, it reached its lifetime peak, with a minimum central pressure of 905 hPa and maximum wind speed of 65 m/s. However, this peak lasted only 12 hours. By 20:00 on October 14, its intensity had fallen sharply to the severe typhoon level, at 45 m/s and 950 hPa, indicating that its core structure was highly sensitive to environmental changes. As it moved northward and encountered cooler sea surface temperatures, the system continued to weaken and completely lost its typhoon intensity before becoming an extratropical cyclone.
Historical Comparison and Data Summary
As the ninth typhoon of 1998, Zeb became one of the year’s most notable severe typhoon cases, with an extremely low central pressure of 905 hPa and maximum wind speed of 65 m/s. Compared with other typhoons that year, Zeb completed a full intensity-development cycle without making landfall, and its peak intensity also ranked among the strongest recorded in the history of northwestern Pacific typhoons. The data show that the typhoon advanced from a tropical depression to a super typhoon in just four days, then rapidly decayed over the following three days. This illustrates the typical physical characteristics of remote-ocean typhoons: rapid organization of the core under favorable sea surface temperatures, followed by rapid energy loss after moving into the cold waters of higher latitudes.
