Typhoon Tess, international code 196611, international name TESS, 1966 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 1966-08-12 12:00:00, ended: 1966-08-17 00:00:00. Peak intensity: Severe Typhoon, minimum central pressure: 972 hPa, max wind: 46m/s.
Typhoon Tess at 1966-08-12 12:00:00 at 26.4°N, 129°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.
It peaked at Severe Typhoon intensity with max winds of 46 m/s (~166 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 972hPa, recorded at 1966-08-16 06:00:00.

Typhoon Tess (196611) 的生命史始 at 1966年8月12日12时, 初始Position位 at lat 26.4°N, 129°附近, formed时Intensity为Nameless. 从路径采样数据来看, 该Typhoon 呈现出极为罕见的“准纬 toward ”W行特征. 在长达近5天的观测期内, 其The latitude变化极小, 始终维持在26.4°N至26.9°N的狭窄带状区域内, 未出现明显的N上转 toward 或S下折返动作.
On the length direction, the Typhoonined a stable toward WMovingTrend. The initial Moving speed was relatively slow, during August 13 to 14, the center coordinates at 26.7° near stagnated, the length just moved from 127.8°E slow W to 126.8°E, showing the system was strengthening the initial wandering state. then, from noon on August 14, the moving speed accelerated significantly, the length of the range increased, until August 1700 at lat 26.9°N, near 119°. The entire trajectory was flat, no landfall record, the main activity at the sea of E and Taiwan at sea level.
Tess的Intensity演变经历了典型的“缓慢增强-快速爆发-维持巅峰-迅速减弱”过程. formed初期至8月14日凌晨, 系统长期维持Nameless至Tropical Storm等级, wind speed在12m/s至20m/s之间波动. 8月14日12时起, intensity 开始显著提升, 由Tropical Storm发展为Severe Tropical Storm, 并 at 8月15日12时升级为Typhoon .
The most notable enhancement phase occurred at 18:00 on August 15 to 06:00 on August 16, within 12 hours, the max wind jumped from 38m/s to 46m/s, reaching Severe Typhoon level, which is also the typhoon's peak intensity.
Compared to the previous typhoon, the 1966 Tess peak intensity (Severe Typhoon, 46m/s) was significantly higher at 1982 (Nameless), 1978 (Severe Tropical Storm) system of the same name, and stronger at 1985 and 1988 only for typhoon level Tess.
