The SummaryTyphoon Kim (international code 196801) is a 1968 Northwest Pacific typhoon; peak intensity Super Typhoon, max wind 51m/s, minimum central pressure 950hPa, not in China Landfall, 1968-06-05 was numbered off, recording 23 track points.
Typhoon Kim, international code 196801, international name KIM, 1968 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 1968-05-31 00:00:00, ended: 1968-06-05 12:00:00. Peak intensity: Super Typhoon, minimum central pressure: 950 hPa, max wind: 51m/s.
Typhoon Kim at 1968-05-31 00:00:00 at 13.9°N, 137.5°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Tropical Storm.
It peaked at Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of 51 m/s (~184 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 950hPa, recorded at 1968-06-03 06:00:00.
1968-06-05 12:00:00 After, Typhoon Kim gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1968-06-05 12:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 23 track points.
Typhoon Kim (196801) at 1968年5月31日00时在Northwest Pacific洋面 formed, 初始Position为lat 13.9°N, 137.5°. 在其整个生命史中, 该Typhoon 呈现出典型的NW toward Moving后转 toward NE的抛物线型路径, 全程未Landfall任何陆地. formed初期, 系统稳定 toward NW, The latitude从13.9°N逐渐N移至18.9°N, During则从137.5°EW进至132.2°E附近. 值得注意的是, 在6月2日18时至6月3日06时期间, Typhoon 中心经度基本维持在132.1°E至132.2°E之间, 显示其在达到peak intensity前曾出现短暂的近乎停滞或极缓慢的W移过程, 随后路径发生显著转折. 自6月3日12时起, Typhoon 中心开始明显 toward E偏移, Moving direction由NW转为NE, 最终 at 6月5日12时在N风28.2°N, lng 139.5°E处 weakened into Tropical Storm并结束观测. 整体路径平滑, 转 toward 点位 at lat 20°至21°N, 132°附近海域.
Kim's Intensity evolution underwent rapid enhancement, peak maintenance and gradual weakening in three phases. From the Tropical Storm (20m/s) start on May 31, the system rapidly enhanced to Typhoon in 36h, and at June 2, 06 at reach the Severe Typhoon level (46m/s) . After approximately 36h high Intensity maintenance, its peak at June 3, 06 at confirmed Super Typhoon, max wind recorded 51m/s. After the peak, as the path turned toward NE, environmental factors influenced, intensity began to decline steadily, from Superhoon Typhoon gradually weakened into Severe Typhoon, Typhoon, until the end of life dropped to Tropical Storm (20m/s).
In comparison with the same name Typhoon, the 1968 Kim showed stronger explosive power. Compared with the 1983 Kim only reached Tropical StormIntensity, the 1968 system was obviously more violent. At the same time, as with the same name Typhoon in 1977, 1980 and 1986, it reached the peak of the 'Super Typhoon', showing that the 'Kim' name sequence has generated the characteristics of high-intensity tropical circles several times in history.
