Typhoon Agness, international code 196812, international name AGNESS, 1968 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 1968-08-28 06:00:00, ended: 1968-09-10 06:00:00. Peak intensity: Super Typhoon, minimum central pressure: 900 hPa, max wind: 77m/s.

Overview of Typhoon Agness

Typhoon Agness at 1968-08-28 06:00:00 at 13.9°N, 171.6°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.

It peaked at Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of 77 m/s (~277 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 900hPa, recorded at 1968-09-03 18:00:00.

1968-09-10 06:00:00 After, Typhoon Agness gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1968-09-10 06:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 53 track points.

Characteristics of Typhoon Agness

Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Agness (196812) 的生命史长达13天, 整体呈现典型的W行后转 toward NE的抛物线型路径. formed初期, 系统位 at Northwest Pacific远海 (171.6°E) , 受副热带高压S侧引导气流影响, 稳定 toward W. 在8月28日至9月4日期间, Typhoon The latitude维持在13.9°N至19.3°N之间, During从171.6°E快速W移至137.9°E, 平均移速较快, 显示出良好的引导气流环境.

The crucial turning point of the path appeared before September 5th. At this time the Typhoon center arrived near 137.2°E, the W entrance speed was significantly slowed and there was a stagnant wandering phenomenon, followed by the path gradually shifted from right W to NW, eventually accelerating toward NE after September 8th. This turn toward process marked its departure from the low latitude E wind band, Go to midlatitude W wind band control area.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Agness's Intensity evolution underwent a complete 'formed-explosion-maintaining-decrease' cycle. Starting from Nameless (12m/s) on August 28, the system was rapidly enhanced during toward WMoving, and in only 4 days Time developed into Super Typhoon. September 4 reached its peak, max wind reached 77m/s, Pressure was extremely low, showing extremely strong destruction potential. Near peak intensity, Typhoonined about 3 days of Super Typhoon level (wind speed ≥51m/s), of which September 3 to 4 wind speed reached 66m/s and 74m/s, showing its core structure is extremely stable.

From September 5, as the path turns toward and the environmental field changes, the intensity begins to fluctuate, and the wind speed gradually decreases from 59m/s to 35m/s. Go to High latitudes, affected by the cold sea water and wind shifts, the system quickly weakened into the low-pressure zone of the temperate band cycling.

In 2004, the Agnesspeak intensity in 1986 and 1983 was only Tropical Storm or Severe Tropical Storm level, while the Agness in 1989 also reached Super Typhoon level, but the 1968 version with extreme wind speed of 77m/s and long Super Typhoonined Time, in the 'Agness' sequence of names belonged to the very representative Severe Typhoon individual, which reflects the huge difference in the development potential for Typhoon in different years.
