Typhoon Grace, international code 196112, international name GRACE, 1961 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 1961-07-21 00:00:00, ended: 1961-07-25 06:00:00. Peak intensity: Tropical Storm, minimum central pressure: 996 hPa, max wind: 20m/s.

Overview of Typhoon Grace

Typhoon Grace at 1961-07-21 00:00:00 at 27.3°N, 127.9°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.

It peaked at Tropical Storm intensity with max winds of 20 m/s (~72 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 996hPa, recorded at 1961-07-21 18:00:00.

1961-07-25 06:00:00 After, Typhoon Grace gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1961-07-25 06:00:00 was numbered off; its life cycle recorded 18 track points.

Typhoon Grace Route Analysis

Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Grace (196112)'s life began at 21 July 1961 at 00, ended at 25 July at 06, without landfall on any land. From the space trajectory, the Typhoon's main activity at E Sea waters, as a whole, presented complex trajectory features before W fall, after N turn, and eventually toward NE direction.

In the initial phase, the system position at late 27.3° to 27.6° N, between 127.9° to 127.2°, was shown as a slow WNMoving. Subsequently, between July 21st, 18th and July 22st, 12th, there was a noticeable rotational adjustment of the path, with the length from 126.7° E toward E retreating to 128.2° E, the latitudeining a narrow fluctuation at 27.1° N to 27.5° N, showing the possibility of a weaker or multiple center interaction by the surrounding flow field. After July 22st, 18th, the Typhoon established toward NMovingTrend, and at July 24th, 12th accelerated toward NE direction, eventually reaching lat.8° 35.N, near 128.6°.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

The system formed initially as Nameless (12m/s), intensified into Tropical Storm on July 21st, 18th, reaching its peak intensity in its history, max wind to 20m/s. Since then until July 23st, its Intensity has beenined at Tropical Storm level (20m/s). From July 23st, 06th, as the system toward NMovingGo to higher latitudes, the intensity began to weaken and decline to Nameless (17m/s), followed by wind speed further decreased, before dispersal to 12m/s. By the lack of air pressure data, only on the basis of wind speed can judge its structure is loose, can not develop into higher-level storms.

GraceIntensity in 1961, as compared to History, was significantly weaker.The data showed that the same-name Typhoon “Grace” peak intensity in 1964, 1972 and 1975 reached the level of “Severe Tropical Storm”, while the Typehoon in 1961 only reached the standard of “Tropical Storm” intensity with max winds of 20m/s far lower at Severe Tropical Storm.
