Typhoon Tess, international code 196102, international name TESS, 1961 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 1961-03-24 00:00:00, ended: 1961-03-31 06:00:00. Peak intensity: Super Typhoon, minimum central pressure: 940 hPa, max wind: 66m/s.
Typhoon Tess at 1961-03-24 00:00:00 at 8.6°N, 144.3°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.
It peaked at Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of 66 m/s (~238 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 940hPa, recorded at 1961-03-28 06:00:00.
1961-03-31 06:00:00 After, Typhoon Tess gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1961-03-31 06:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 30 track points.
Typhoon Tess (196102) at 1961年3月24日在Northwest Pacific洋面 formed, 初始Position位 at 8.6°N, 144.3°E. 在其生命史初期, 系统呈现稳定的W行Trend, 从 formed至3月27日期间, The latitude由8.6°N缓慢N抬至12.9°N, During则从144.3°E持续W移至135.3°E, 整体Moving direction以W为主, 伴随轻微的 toward N分量. 3月28日至29日, Typhoon Go to 准静止或缓慢Moving阶段, 经度在135.5°E至135.0°E之间小幅摆动, 纬度继续N抬, 显示其受引导气流影响较小或处 at 鞍形场中.
The system began to accelerate toward NE, with the length gradually declining from 134.5°E to 138.8°E, the latitude rapidly rising from 16.3°N to 23°N. This turn toward process marked Typhon's departure from the tropical radiation belt's main control zone, Go to W wind belt impact range.
Tess's Intensity evolution presents the typical characteristics of 'fast enhancement - peak maintenance - sharp weakening.' Starting from March 24's Nameless (17m/s), the system rapidly intensified into Typhoon within 48h, and upgraded to Super Typhoon at March 27th at 00:00 (56m/s) . Subsequently, its Intensity continued to climb, reaching its peak at March 28th at 12am to 29:00, max windined at 66m/s, andined about 36h Super Typhoon level Intensity.
Especially during the 12h of March 30th, from 12m/s to 31st, the max wind dropped from 28m/s to 15m/s, a level that dropped directly from Severe Tropical Storm to Nameless, showing the rapid decline of the Go to High latitude cold sea area and the rapid decline following strong vertical wind shifts.
The 1961 Tess peak intensity (66m/s, Super Typhoon) was significantly higher than the previous typhoon in other years.Tess in 1988 and 1985 only reached the typhoon level, in 1978 was Severe Tropical Storm, and in 1982 onlyined Nameless Intensity.
