Typhoon Kathy, international code 196118, international name KATHY, 1961 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 1961-08-15 06:00:00, ended: 1961-08-18 06:00:00. Peak intensity: Typhoon , minimum central pressure: 988 hPa, max wind: 41m/s.
Typhoon Kathy at 1961-08-15 06:00:00 at 24.6°N, 140.7°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Severe Tropical Storm.
It peaked at Typhoon intensity with max winds of 41 m/s (~148 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 988hPa, recorded at 1961-08-17 00:00:00.
1961-08-18 06:00:00 After, Typhoon Kathy gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1961-08-18 06:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 13 track points.
Typhoon Kathy (196118)'s life history is relatively short, from formed to dispersed about 3 days. Its path overall shows a stable NW toward Moving characteristic, with no apparent turn toward or stagnation phenomenon. In the initial phase, the system position at lat 24.6°N, 140.7° near, then continues toward NW direction advancing. Thro its life cycle, the latitude rises from 24.6°N to 32.7°N, the length moves from 140.7°EW to 130.3°E, indicating its influence by the guided airflow is significant, the pathway is rather flat. By at full landfall record, the Typhoon is mainly active on the open ocean surface, and ultimately at 32.7°N, 130.3° weakened into nameless and
该Typhoon 的Intensity变化经历了“增强-维持-快速减弱”三个阶段. formed初期为Severe Tropical Storm (28m/s) , 在 toward NMoving过程中逐渐加强, at 1961年8月16日00:00达到Typhoon 级别 (35m/s) . 此后Intensity保持相对稳定, 直至8月17日00:00达到巅峰状态, max wind 增至41m/s. 值得注意的是, peak intensity 维持Time极短, 仅6h后wind speed即回落至35m/s. 自8月17日12:00起, 系统Go to 快速减弱期, intensity 由Severe Tropical Storm (25m/s) 迅速降级为Nameless (15m/s) , 并在随后18h内wind speed进一步降至5m/s. 这种生命末期Intensity的急剧崩溃, 通常与高The latitude冷海水侵入或垂直风切变增大有关, 导致热力结构无法维持.
In the sequence of names 'Kathy', the 1961 Typhoon Intensity was at a medium level. Compared to the previous Typhoon, its peak intensity (41m/s, Typhoon) was weak at 1969 Katy (Super Typhoon) and 1964 Katy (Super Typhoon), also slightly weak at 1976 Katy (Typhoon). However, its intensity was strong at 1972 Katy (Severe Tropical Storm).
