据中央气象台消息，“尼伯特”已加强为超级台风，最大风力16级，风速52米/秒，在距离台湾省台北市东偏南方向约1530公里的洋面上。“尼伯特”将以每小时30公里左右的速度向西北方向移动，逐渐向台湾沿海靠近。

      台风是个神马东东?

　　A typhoon is a mature tropical cyclone that develops in the western part of the North Pacific Ocean between 180° and 100°E.

　　This region is referred to as the Northwestern Pacific Basin, and is the most active tropical cyclone basin on Earth, accounting for almost one-third of the world's annual tropical cyclones.

　　For organisational purposes, the northern Pacific Ocean is divided into three regions: the eastern (North America to 140°W), central (140° to 180°W), and western (180° to 100°E).

　　The Regional Specialized Meteorological Center (RSMC) for tropical cyclone forecasts is in Japan, with other tropical cyclone warning centers for the northwest Pacific in Hawaii (the Joint Typhoon Warning Center), the Philippines and Hong Kong.

　　While the RSMC names each system, the main name list itself is coordinated among 18 countries that have territories threatened by typhoons each year. The Philippines use their own naming list for systems approaching the country.

　　台风(Typhoon)，指形成于热带或副热带26℃以上广阔海面上的热带气旋。

　　世界气象组织定义：中心持续风速在12级至13级(即32.7~41.4m/s)的热带气旋为台风(typhoon)或飓风(hurricane)。

　　日本气象厅定义：中心持续风速118~156km/h(32.8~43.3m/s)称之为台风。

　　北太平洋西部(赤道以北，国际日期线以西，东经100度以东)地区通常称其为台风，

　　而北大西洋及东太平洋地区则普遍称之为飓风。

　　每年的夏秋季节，我国毗邻的西北太平洋上会生成不少名为台风的猛烈风暴，有的消散于海上，有的则登上陆地，带来狂风暴雨，是自然灾害的一种。
