Typhoon Opal, international code 196716, international name OPAL, 1967 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 1967-08-30 06:00:00, ended: 1967-09-15 06:00:00. Peak intensity: Super Typhoon, minimum central pressure: 920 hPa, max wind: 79m/s.
Typhoon Opal at 1967-08-30 06:00:00 at 16.4°N, 168.8°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Tropical Storm.
It peaked at Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of 79 m/s (~284 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 920hPa, recorded at 1967-09-03 12:00:00.
1967-09-15 06:00:00 After, Typhoon Opal gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1967-09-15 06:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 65 track points.
Typhoon Opal (196716) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“NW行—转 toward NE”的抛物线形态. formed初期 (8月30日至9月1日) , 系统位 at 16°N-19°N, 164°E-168°E之间, 稳定 toward NW, The latitude缓慢N抬, During显著W进. 9月3日左右, Typhoon 中心抵达19.7°N, 160.3°E附近, 随后路径曲率发生变化, Moving direction逐渐由NW转为N, 进而转 toward NE.
From coordinate sequence analysis, between September 6th and September 9th, the Typhoon appeared at 26°N-27°N, 142°E-147°E with marked path turning and stagnation characteristics, latitude changes slowed, and the length continued to w-shift after the E-shift began, indicating that it was gradually enhanced by the influence of the W-band guided airflow.
From the 30th of August's Tropical Storm (20m/s), the system rapidly enhanced in just four days, to September 3 has reached Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of jumping to 71m/s, and at follow-up observations recorded to peak wind speed 79m/s. It is worth noting that its Super Typhoon levelined Time longer, from September 3 to September 7 days in a row ofining high intensity state of more than 53m/s, until September 8 weakened into Severe Typhoon.
In 1997 Opel peaked only with Severe Typhoon, in 1973 with Typhoon, in 1970 with Severe Tropical Storm, and in 1976 with Opal even reached only Nameless Intensity.
