The SummaryTyphoon Elaine (international code 196814) is a 1968 Northwest Pacific typhoon; peak intensity Super Typhoon, max wind 77m/s, minimum central pressure 910hPa, not in China Landfall, 1968-10-01 was numbered off, recorded 30 track points.
Typhoon Elaine, international code 196814, international name ELAINE, 1968 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 1968-09-24 06:00:00, ended: 1968-10-01 12:00:00. Peak intensity: Super Typhoon, minimum central pressure: 910 hPa, max wind: 77m/s.
Typhoon Elaine at 1968-09-24 06:00:00 at 9.6°N, 133.5°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 910hPa, recorded at 1968-09-27 06:00:00.
1968-10-01 12:00:00 After, Typhoon Elaine gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1968-10-01 12:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 30 track points.
Typhoon Elaine (196814)'s life began at the Northwest Pacific Ocean Ocean, the overall path showed a stable NW toward MovingTrend, with no apparent turn toward or flip phenomenon. From the formed early Nameless phase (9.6°N, 133.5°E) to the pre-dispersed Nameless phase (23.5°N, 116.3°E) , its latitude continued to rise N, the length stable W. During the rapid enhancement period (September 25 to 27) , the systemined a higher transfer rate, along the latitude changes uniformly, indicating its sub-tropical high-pressure S-side guided airflow was well controlled and the path was flat. Until the end of life approached ChinaSEcoastal, the Moving speed was slightly slow
The Typhoon has experienced extremely rapid enhancement process with a significant decline cycle. From September 25th at 06:00 Tropical Storm (23m/s) to September 27th at 06:00 reached peak intensity (77m/s, Super Typhoon) , only in 48h, wind speed increased to 54m/s, showing extremely strong explosive power. The peak stateined a shorter Time, September 27th at 18:00 wind speed has fallen to 71m/s, then Go to rapid weakening channel. From September 28th at 06:00 to 18:00, wind speed from 56m/s gradually dropped to 38m/s, ranked by Super Typhoon directly falling Typhoon level. After this Intensity fluctuation is smaller,ined at Typhoon to Severe Tropical Storm level, until October 1st morning weakened
Compared to the 1965 (Severe Tropical Storm) and the 1960 (Typhoon) system of the same name, in 1968 Elaine reached Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of 77m/s, significantly higher at the former. compared to the 1971 Super Typhoon of the same name, both reached extremely high intensity grade, but in 1968 Elaine's Max Wind numbers are more referential.
