Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Ora (196820) at 1968年11月22日00时在Northwest Pacific洋面 formed, 初始Position为lat 10.6°N, 150.4°. 在其整个生命史中, 该Typhoon 呈现出稳定的W toward MovingTrend, 未出现明显的转 toward 或Landfall行为. 从 formed至消散, 其路径整体由SE toward NW延伸, 最终 at 11月29日18时 at 16.3°N, 119.9°附近 weakened into Nameless并结束观测.

在Moving速度方面, 初期 (11月22日至23日) Typhoon toward WN direction快速Moving, During跨度较大; Go to 中期 (11月24日至26日) , 随着Intensity达到巅峰, 其Moving路径略微偏 toward 正W, The latitude变化趋缓, 维持在15°N至16.5°N之间徘徊; 后期 (11月27日至29日) 继续 toward W推进, 直至Go to S海N部海域后逐渐减弱消散. 全生命周期内无Landfall记录, 主要活动区域集中在开阔洋面.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Ora的Intensity演变经历了典型的“快速增强-维持巅峰-缓慢减弱”过程. formed初期仅为Nameless (15m/s) , 随后在48h内迅速加强, at 11月24日00时升级为Typhoon . 最为显著的爆发式增强发生在11月24日12时至25日12时, max wind 从41m/s激增至61m/s, 达到Super Typhoon级别, 这也是其生命史中的peak intensity. 此后, Super Typhoon状态维持了约36h, 期间wind speed虽有波动 (51m/s-56m/s) , 但始终保持在极高Intensity区间. 11月27日后, 系统开始逐步减弱, 由Severe Typhoon降格为Typhoon , 最终在11月29日 weakened into Nameless.

The data showed that in 1978, the Orapeak intensity in 1966 was only Severe Typhoon, while the Ora in 1975 and 1972 was only Typhoon level.
