Analysis of Typhoon Owen's Track Characteristics
Characteristics of path
Owen formed at 10月15日, 初始中心位 at (11.2°N, 157.9°E) , intensity 为Tropical Depression, max wind 15m/s, Pressure1005hPa. 随后其路径总体呈NW: 10月16日至19日, 中心纬度由14.4°N升至18.8°N, 经度由152.3°E降至143.6°E, 表现为持续 toward W并略 toward N推进. 10月20日达到 (23.2°N, 143.8°E) , Moving direction开始转为N; 10月21日进一步转为NE toward , 抵达 (28.6°N, 148.9°E) . 10月22日至23日继续 toward NEMoving, 经度增至159.1°E, 但中心纬度由30.8°N回落至27.1°N, 路径出现较明显的EW toward 伸展.
From Oct. 24 to 25, Owen maintained an eastward movement near 25°N, with longitude increasing from 164°E to 167.2°E. On Oct. 26, it turned toward NE. From Oct. 27 to 28, it turned toward N and slightly toward W, with longitude decreasing from 167.1°E to 164.7°E before increasing to 169°E and 173°E. Its overall track can be summarized as a multi-stage oscillation of NW, turning N, NE, E, NE, and N, with no recorded landfall.
Evolution of intensity
After forming, Owen strengthened continuously, with its max wind increasing from 15m/s to 35m/s by Oct. 19 and its pressure falling from 1005hPa to 966hPa, upgrading it to a Typhoon. On Oct. 20, it rapidly intensified into a Severe Typhoon, with a max wind of 45m/s and pressure falling to 942hPa. On Oct. 21, it reached its peak, with a max wind of 50m/s and a minimum pressure of 939hPa.
After its peak, Owen's intensity declined rapidly. On Oct. 22, the max wind fell to 30m/s and the pressure rose to 965hPa. From Oct. 23 to 25, it remained at Severe Tropical Storm strength, with the max wind decreasing from 30m/s to 25m/s and the pressure reaching 980hPa. On Oct. 26, it weakened into a Tropical Storm, and on Oct. 27 it became a Tropical Depression. By 20:00 on Oct. 28, the max wind was only 12m/s and the pressure was 1000hPa. The data show that significant strengthening mainly occurred from Oct. 19 to 21, while weakening continued from Oct. 22 through the end of the observation period.
Historical Comparison
Among the listed storms named Owen, the 1982 storm was the strongest by peak intensity, reaching Severe Typhoon status with a max wind of 50m/s and a minimum pressure of 939hPa. Although the 1990 Owen reached Super Typhoon status with a lower minimum pressure of 930hPa, its max wind was also 50m/s. The 1989 Owen peaked only at Typhoon strength, with a minimum pressure of 960hPa. The 1994 and 1986 storms named Owen remained at Severe Tropical Storm strength, with minimum pressures of 980hPa and 987hPa, respectively. Overall, the 1982 and 1990 storms named Owen tied for the highest max wind. The 1982 storm had a higher minimum pressure than the 1990 storm but a markedly lower minimum pressure than the 1989, 1994, and 1986 storms named Owen.
