Characteristics of Typhoon Ellen
Path and Moving Characteristics
Typhoon Ellen (198309) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体呈现典型的W行N路径. formed初期 (8月30日至9月1日) , 系统在低纬度海域 (10°N-13°N) 维持Tropical DepressionIntensity, Moving direction主要为WSW, 经度从165.1°E快速W移至149.2°E. 9月2日起, 系统转 toward NW, 并逐渐加强. 在9月3日至9月6日期间, Typhoon 中心沿NW路径稳定推进, 纬度从9.4°N迅速攀升至18.7°N, 经度跨越至122.1°E, 显示出较强的引导气流作用. 值得注意的是, 该Typhoon 全程无Landfall记录, 最终 at 9月9日在S海N部海域减弱消散. 从坐标序列观察, 其路径平滑, 未出现明显的打转或异常折 toward , 但在接近Chinacoastal 时 (9月7日后) , Moving速度略有放缓, 纬度增幅减小, 表明受外围环境场影响, 移速受到一定抑制.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
Ellen’s intensity followed a complete formation, intensification, peak, and weakening cycle. After becoming a tropical storm on September 2, it entered a period of rapid intensification. During the 48 hours from September 5 to 6, its central pressure plunged from 968 hPa to 935 hPa and its maximum sustained wind speed surged from 40 m/s to 55 m/s. At 20:00 UTC on September 6, it reached super typhoon status, with a minimum central pressure of 928 hPa and maximum sustained winds of 60 m/s, marking the peak of its lifetime. This peak phase was brief, however, and intensity began fluctuating downward from September 7 as pressure rose above 963 hPa. Until shortly before dissipation, it retained at least severe typhoon or tropical depression intensity, indicating some resilience in its core structure.
Compared with previous storms of the same name, Typhoon Ellen in 1983 was exceptionally intense. Its minimum central pressure of 928 hPa was lower than those of Ellen in 1980 (933 hPa), 1973 (943 hPa), and 1986 (960 hPa), and markedly lower than Ellen in 1976 (985 hPa). Its maximum sustained wind speed of 60 m/s also exceeded that of every other storm named Ellen, establishing it as the strongest in the series. Although Ellen in 1973 and 1980 also reached super typhoon or severe typhoon status, the 1983 storm set the highest records among contemporaneous storms of the same name in both minimum central pressure and peak wind speed.
