Typhoon IVY’s final post-event values differ from its live published values. The live values reflect operational data during the typhoon’s active period. After the typhoon ended, the CMA incorporated more complete observational data to produce its best-track dataset, which is generally used for academic research and historical rankings. Data sources: CMA Tropical Cyclone best-track dataset (compiled via IBTrACS v04r01), with wind speeds converted from knots to m/s and rounded.
Analysis of Typhoon IVY's track characteristics
Path and Moving Characteristics
Typhoon Georgia (196219) maintained a steady, continuous NNW-moving trend during the observation period. Based on 7 track points from 06:00 on October 28 to 18:00 on October 29, 1962, its center moved from 16.7°N, 137.7°E to 22.3°N, 138.9°E. Longitude changed only slightly, shifting about 1.2° east, while latitude advanced about 5.6° north, indicating a predominantly north-northeastward movement. The smooth track showed no significant turns or stagnation, suggesting stable and uncomplicated steering flow. All observation points were over open waters, with no landfall recorded, so the typhoon remained at sea throughout and caused no direct impacts on land.
Intensity Evolution Analysis
Georgia maintained extremely high intensity early in the observation period. From 06:00 to 18:00 on October 28, its maximum wind remained at 51 m/s, classified as a super typhoon, indicating a solid core structure. Beginning at 00:00 on October 29, however, its intensity declined sharply and rapidly. Over the next 18 hours, maximum wind fell from 41 m/s as a typhoon to 30 m/s as a severe tropical storm, then 20 m/s as a tropical storm, and finally weakened into a tropical depression with winds of 17 m/s by 18:00 on October 29. This abrupt weakening across four intensity categories in a short period usually indicates major changes in environmental conditions, such as increased vertical wind shear or lower sea surface temperatures, which disrupted its energy supply.
Same-Name Comparison
Compared with previous typhoons bearing the same name, Georgia in 1962 exhibited a significant intensity advantage. While Georgia in 2004 peaked only as a tropical storm with a minimum pressure of 990 hPa, and Georgias in 1986 and 1983 peaked as severe tropical storms, the 1962 typhoon had already reached super typhoon status with winds of 51 m/s at the start of the observation period. Georgia in 1989 also reached super typhoon status, but the 1962 storm maintained a high-intensity state throughout its brief recorded lifecycle. Overall, Georgia in 1962 was among the most intense storms with this name in the historical record, with a peak intensity far exceeding that of most same-name systems.
