Typhoon Pat Trail Characteristics
Track and Turning Characteristics
Typhoon Pat (198203) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific低纬度海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“抛物线”型Moving特征. formed初期 (5月16日至17日) , 系统位 at 9°N至11°N之间, 受引导气流影响稳定 toward WNW, 经度从138.5°E快速W移至131.9°E. 5月18日至19日, 随着纬度提升至14.6°N附近, 路径逐渐转为NW toward , 并逼近Philippines以E洋面.
A key turning point occurred from May 20 to 21. When the center reached approximately 17.8°N, 124.2°E, Pat's direction changed significantly after reaching peak intensity, shifting from west-northwest toward northeast. The system then accelerated toward the open ocean, with its longitude rapidly expanding eastward from 124.2°E to 156°E. Pat did not make landfall anywhere and remained at sea throughout. It finally weakened and dissipated over high-latitude waters on May 24.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
Pat underwent a complete intensification–peak–weakening cycle. It initially formed as a tropical depression with a pressure of 1006hPa. After intensifying into a tropical storm on May 18, it entered a rapid intensification phase and developed from a severe tropical storm into a severe typhoon in about 36 hours. From 20:00 on May 20 to 08:00 on May 21, Pat reached its peak intensity, with a maximum wind speed of 50m/s and a minimum pressure of 944hPa. The data table shows minimum readings fluctuating between 945hPa and 946hPa, but the summary confirms a minimum pressure of 944hPa. Pat maintained severe typhoon status for about 24 hours.
After turning northeast, Pat rapidly weakened due to the high-latitude environment and wind shear. It weakened to a typhoon on May 22, then further weakened into a tropical storm and a tropical depression on May 23, with pressure rising to 1010hPa.
Compared with previous storms of the same name, Pat in 1982 ranked at the upper-middle level in peak intensity (severe typhoon, 944hPa). Its intensity was higher than Pat in 1994 (typhoon, 965hPa) and Pat in 1988 (typhoon, 980hPa), and slightly higher than Pat in 1985 (severe typhoon, 961hPa). Note that lower pressure indicates greater intensity, so 944hPa was stronger than 961hPa; thus, Pat in 1982 was stronger than Pat in 1985 but weaker than Pat in 1991 (severe typhoon, 930hPa). Overall, Pat in 1982 was a well-structured, relatively intense, long-distance ocean typhoon with a typical track.
