Typhoon Irma, international code 197130, international name IRMA, 1971 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 1971-11-08 00:00:00, ended: 1971-11-15 12:00:00. Peak intensity: Super Typhoon, minimum central pressure: 885 hPa, max wind: 79m/s.

Overview of Typhoon Irma

Typhoon Irma at 1971-11-08 00:00:00 at 6.9°N, 142.6°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.

It peaked at Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of 79 m/s (~284 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 885hPa, recorded at 1971-11-11 18:00:00.

1971-11-15 12:00:00 After, Typhoon Irma gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1971-11-15 12:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 31 track points.

Characteristics of Typhoon Irma

Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Irma (197130) formed at Northwest Pacific低The latitude海域, 初始Position位 at 6.9°N, 142.6°E. 在生命史初期, 系统呈现缓慢的W移Trend, 从11月8日至9日, 其During由142.6°EW移至141.4°E, 纬度略有N抬. 随后, 受大气环流引导, Typhoon 转 toward NW, Moving速度显著加快. 11月10日至12日期间, 系统沿NW路径快速穿越Philippines以E洋面, 经度从140.3°E迅速W进至130.3°E, 纬度同步N抬至16.9°N.

After reaching near 127.5°E, the system Moving direction gradually shifted from NW to NE. On November 14 to 15, the Typhoon accelerated toward NE direction, moving the length from 127°E to 138°E, and the latitude jumped from 23.2°NN to 30.7°N, eventually weakening dispersion in the high latitude waters.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Irma的Intensity演变呈现出典型的“快速增强-巅峰维持-逐渐减弱”特征. 系统从Nameless起步, at 11月10日 intensified into Typhoon 级别 (33m/s) . 随后Go to 爆发性增强期, 仅在48h内, max wind 从33m/s激增至79m/s, at 11月12日00:00达到Super Typhoonpeak intensity. 此后, 虽然Intensity有所波动, 但在11月12日至14日期间, 其中心附近Max Wind始终维持在51m/s以上, 保持了长达近三天的Super Typhoon或Severe Typhoon级别Intensity. 11月14日后, 随着The latitude升高及环境条件变化, intensity 开始稳步下降, 直至消散前仍保持Typhoon 级别 (33m/s) .

与历届同名Typhoon 相比, 1971年Irma的Intensity极为突出. 其巅峰wind speed高达79m/s, 远超1993年, 1988年及1985年的同名Typhoon (后者巅峰仅为Severe Tropical Storm或Severe Typhoon级别) . 即便与同样达到Super Typhoon级别的1981年Irma相比, 1971年系统在低The latitude海域的快速增强能力及peak intensity的绝对值均显示出极强的能量释放特征, 是当年Northwest Pacific海域极具代表性的Severe Typhoon过程.
