Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Mary (196804) 的生命周期始 at 1968年7月20日06:00, formed at Northwest Pacific远洋海域 (14.3°N, 148.5°E) , 初始状态为Nameless. 在 formed后的初期阶段, 系统整体呈现稳定的NW toward MovingTrend. 从7月20日至7月24日, Typhoon 中心The latitude由14.3°NN抬至20.8°N, During由148.5°EW进至141.1°E, 显示出典型的副热带高压S侧引导气流特征.

During July 24 00:00 to July 25 12:00, the system continued toward NW direction advancing to 24.8°N, 137°E. Then, affected by the mid-latitude W wind band, the path gradually turned to N and to NE direction. July 27 00:00 to 18:00, the Typhoon center lengthined near 135.1°E, the latitude quickly jumped from 29°NN to 30.7°N, marking the completion of the turn toward process. After that, along the system JapanS Ocean toward NE, finally at July 30 12:30 at 12:0032.1°N, 133.6°E weakened into Nameless and ended observation.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Mary showed the characteristics of “fast enhancement, short maintenance, slow weakening” on the Intensity evolution. Starting from 10m/sNameless on July 20, the system rapidly strengthened in about 4 days. Upgraded to Severe Tropical Storm on July 21, upgraded to Typhoon on July 22, upgraded to Severe Typhoon on July 23, upgraded to Severe Typhoon on July 24. By July 24, its Max Wind rose to 66m/s, upgraded to Super Typhoon, which is also the peak in its history. However, the peak stateined Time shorter, only after 18h (July 24, 18:00) , wind speed has dropped to 51m/s. Go to High latitude sea area, affected by decreased ocean temperature and increased vertical winds, intensity decline continued

The 1968 Mary's peak intensity (66m/s, Super Typhoon) was significantly higher than the previously identified Typhoon at 1977 (Severe Typhoon), 1974 (Typhoon) and 1960 (Typhoon).
