Typhoon Forrest trajectory analysis
Track and Movement Characteristics
Typhoon Forrest (198310) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific低纬度海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“NW行-转 toward NE”的抛物线形态. formed初期 (9月19日至21日) , 系统位 at 8°N至12°N之间, 受副热带高压S侧引导气流影响, 稳定 toward NW. 9月22日至25日期间, Typhoon 维持强劲的WNW路径, 纬度从14.4°N迅速N抬至25.1°N, 经度由139°EW进至126.4°E, 此阶段Moving速度较快且 direction稳定.
The key turning phase occurred from September 26 to 27. When its center reached approximately 27.4°N, 124.5°E, its movement began shifting from northwestward to due north and then gradually toward the northeast. After September 28, the system accelerated northeastward, with its longitude rapidly advancing eastward from 127.2°E to 146°E, indicating that it had fully entered the westerly wind belt. Throughout its entire lifetime, the typhoon made no landfall and remained over the open ocean before weakening and dissipating near 34.5°N, 146°E on September 29.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
Forrest’s intensity evolution was marked by explosive strengthening and prolonged maintenance. It began as a tropical depression on September 19 with winds of 10 m/s and a central pressure of 1006 hPa, then intensified rapidly within just three days. Particularly between 02:00 on September 22 and 14:00 on September 23, the central pressure plummeted from 980 hPa to 893 hPa while maximum winds surged from 30 m/s to 70 m/s, reaching super typhoon status. At 14:00 on September 23, Forrest attained its peak intensity, with a minimum central pressure of 876 hPa and maximum winds of 75 m/s. Although its intensity fluctuated slightly afterward, the central pressure remained below 925 hPa from September 23 to 26, sustaining super typhoon status for nearly four days and indicating exceptionally high energy stability.
In comparison with previous typhoons of the same name, Forrest’s intensity in 1983 was overwhelmingly stronger. Data show that Forrest was only a tropical storm in 1992, with a central pressure of 995 hPa, and a severe tropical storm in 1980, with a central pressure of 991 hPa. Although Forrest reached severe typhoon status in 1989 and 1986, its minimum central pressures were 950 hPa and 931 hPa, respectively, both substantially weaker than its 876 hPa in 1983. As typhoon code No. 10 of 1983, its peak intensity far exceeded that of every other storm with the same name and also reflected the extreme typhoon activity in the Northwest Pacific that year.
