Path and Moving Characteristics

Typhoon Olga (197002) 的生命史始 at 1970年6月29日00时, formed at Northwest Pacific低The latitude海域 (11.7°N, 139.1°E) . 其整体Moving路径呈现典型的“NW-N-NE”转 toward 特征. 在生命初期 (6月29日至7月1日) , 系统受副热带高压引导, 稳定 toward NW, 纬度从11.7°N迅速提升至19.3°N, During由139.1°EW移至126.8°E, Moving速度较快且 direction稳定.

Between July 1 at 12 and July 2 at 00, the Typhoon reached the most W-end Position (about 125.1°E-125.7°E), followed by a significant turning point.From July 2 at 12, the Moving direction gradually turned to N, and at July 3 afterwards further turned toward NE direction.By July 6 before disintegration, the system had been deep into the mid-high latitude region, and the final Position reached 36.2°N, 133.5°E. Thro the process, the Typhoon did not landfall any land, always in marine activity, the path was smooth, no apparent stagnation or turning phenomenon.

Intensity Analysis

The initial phase was Nameless (17m/s), but rapidly intensified into Severe Typhoon (43m/s to 48m/s) in just 36 hours. on July 1 at 00, wind speed jumped to 66m/s, Go to Super Typhoon line; and at July 1 at 12 at life cycle peak intensity, max wind recorded 71m/s. After that, the systemined about 48h at Super Typhoon level, until July 3 at 00wind speed dropped to 51m/s, before falling out of the Super Typhoon threshold.

The weakening process was relatively slow, from July 3 to July 5, with the latitude rise and Go to higher sea temperature adverse zones, wind speed gradually dropped from 51m/s to 25m/s (Severe Tropical Storm) . July 6 at 00, the system further weakened into Nameless (15m/s) , marking the end of its life history.

Comparison of historical names

In the sequence of names 'Olga', the 1970 typhoon performance is strong. compared to the previous typhoon: the peak intensity of 1999 Olga (199906) and 1961 Olga (196121) is only typhoon level; and in 1972 Olga (197219) although also reached the Super Typhoon level, but in 1970 Olga showed a very high level of energy at 71m/s Max Wind.
