The SummaryTyphoon Opal (international code 196208) is a 1962 Northwest Pacific typhoon; peak intensity Super Typhoon, max wind 74m/s, minimum central pressure 900hPa, not in China Landfall, 1962-08-07 was numbered off, recording 34 track points.
Typhoon Opal, international code 196208, international name OPAL, 1962 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 1962-07-30 06:00:00, ended: 1962-08-07 12:00:00. Peak intensity: Super Typhoon, minimum central pressure: 900 hPa, max wind: 74m/s.
Typhoon Opal at 1962-07-30 06:00:00 at 8.7°N, 151.2°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.
It peaked at Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of 74 m/s (~266 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 900hPa, recorded at 1962-08-05 06:00:00.
1962-08-07 12:00:00 After, Typhoon Opal gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1962-08-07 12:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 34 track points.
Typhoon Opal (196208) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific低The latitude海域, 整体路径呈现典型的NW toward Moving后转 toward NE的抛物线形态. formed初期 (7月30日至8月1日) , 系统在8.7°N至10.7°N之间缓慢W行, During从151.2°E移至140.3°E, Moving速度相对平缓. 8月2日起, 随着纬度迅速N抬至14.5°N, 系统Go to 快速NW移阶段, 直至8月5日06:00到达22.5°N, 123.2°E附近, 此阶段为路径的最W端接近点.
It is worth noting that after the system reached the peak of the W side of the most N-end of life on August 5 at 06:00, the path was significantly reversed. Within 6h, the Center moved to 25°N, 120.9°E, Moving direction gradually shifted from NW to N as well as NE. On August 6 to 7, the system accelerated toward the High-latitude area Moving, the latitude rose sharply from 26.8°N to 42°N, the length swung between 117.5°E and 119.5°E, and eventually dispersed in Japan with the E area weakened.
Opal的Intensity演变表现出“快速增强, 巅峰维持, 迅速衰减”的特征. 系统 at 8月1日18:00 intensified into Tropical Storm, 随后在48h内连续跨越Typhoon , Severe Typhoon等级, at 8月3日18:00达到Super Typhoon级别. peak intensity出现在8月5日06:00, max wind 高达74m/s, 此时中心位 at 22.5°N. 然而, 巅峰状态维持Time较短, 仅12h后wind speed便降至59m/s, 并在接下来的24h内急剧 weakened into Severe Tropical Storm及Tropical Storm, 反映出其在高The latitude冷空气介入或垂直风切变增大环境下的快速结构崩溃.
Its peak reached Super Typhoon level (74m/s), far surpassing 1997 OPAL (Severe Typhoon), 1973 OPAL (Typhoon) and 1970 OPAL (Severe Tropical Storm). 1976 OPAL onlyined NamelessIntensity, the difference is even bigger. data showed that 1962 OPAL was the most energetic in the series of the same name, one of the most potentially destructive systems, its extremely low Pressure (although the specific value is missing, but according to wind speed inference extremely low) and extremely high Max Wind constitutes its core meteorological characteristics.
