Overview of Typhoon Olga

Typhoon Olga at 1961-09-08 00:00:00 at 20.2°N, 117°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.

It peaked at Typhoon intensity with max winds of 35 m/s (~126 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 985hPa, recorded at 1961-09-09 06:00:00.

1961-09-10 06:00:00 After, Typhoon Olga gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1961-09-10 06:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 10 track points.

Typhoon Olga Trail Characteristics

Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Olga (196121) has a shorter life cycle, from formed to dispersed about 54h. Its overall path shows a stable NW toward MovingTrend, with no apparent turn toward or reversal phenomenon. In the initial phase, the system position at S SeaNE area (20.2°N, 117°E) , then continues toward NW direction forward. During the Moving process, the length gradually moves from 117°E to 113.7°E, the latitude rises from 220.2°NN to 23.6°N, showing its influence by the guided airflow is significant, the path is rather flat. It is worth noting that the Typhoon has a full landfall record, is always active at sea, and eventually weakens dispersion in the vicinity of GuangdongcoastalLand

Evolution of intensity

Olga的Intensity变化经历了典型的“快速增强-巅峰维持-迅速减弱”过程. formed初期为Nameless (15m/s) , 在随后18h内快速加强, at 9月8日12时升级为Tropical Storm (23m/s) , 18时进一步发展为Severe Tropical Storm (28m/s) . 9月9日06时, 系统达到peak intensity, 中心Max Wind达35m/s, 定性为Typhoon 级别. 巅峰状态维持了约12h, 期间wind speed保持在35m/s. 然而, 自9月9日18时起, intensity 开始急剧下滑, wind speed降至25m/s (Severe Tropical Storm) , 并在次日00时迅速退化为Nameless (15m/s) , 直至最终消散. 这种生命史短, Intensity爆发快但衰减也极快的特征, 反映了其结构可能较为紧凑但环境耐受性较差.

Comparison of Typhoon

Comparison data show that 1970 Olga (197002) and 1972 Olga (197219) both reached the 'Super Typhoon' peak intensity, while 1999 Olga (199906) also reached the 'Typhoon' level. In contrast, 1961 Olga only reached the 'Typhoon' level (35m/s) , and life history is significantly short at other years of the same name Typhoon .
