Typhoon Rita, international code 197203, international name RITA, 1972 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 1972-07-05 00:00:00, ended: 1972-07-29 12:00:00. Peak intensity: Super Typhoon, minimum central pressure: 910 hPa, max wind: 74m/s.
Typhoon Rita at 1972-07-05 00:00:00 at 9.7°N, 150.5°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.
It peaked at Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of 74 m/s (~266 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 910hPa, recorded at 1972-07-11 00:00:00.
1972-07-29 12:00:00 After, Typhoon Rita gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1972-07-29 12:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 99 track points.
Typhoon Rita (197203) 的生命史长达24天半, 其Moving路径呈现出典型的NW行进后转为NE direction并深入高The latitude的复杂特征. formed初期, 系统位 at W太平洋低纬度海域 (9.7°N, 150.5°E) , 总体 toward NW. 在7月9日至7月11日期间, Typhoon 中心快速逼近Philippines以E洋面, 到达最W端Position (17.8°N, 134.2°E) 附近. 值得注意的是, 该Typhoon 并未Landfall任何陆地, 而是在海上完成了关键的转 toward 过程.
Starting on July 13, the path showed obvious signs of turning, Moving direction gradually shifted from NW to N, then turned toward NE. On July 21, the Typhoon center passed through the Archaeological Islands to the E area (28.8°N, 128°E) , then accelerated toward NE, crossing the Japan Sea region, eventually deep into the lat 45° above high latitude area (45.8°N, 113°E) dispersed.
在Intensity变化方面, Typhoon Rita经历了剧烈的增强与波动过程. 从7月5日的Nameless (5m/s) 起步, 仅用4天Time便迅速增强为Super Typhoon. 7月11日达到巅峰状态, max wind 高达74m/s, 确认为Super Typhoon级别. 然而, 巅峰维持Time较短, 7月13日wind speed已降至51m/s, 显示其在转 toward 过程中受到环境场影响出现显著减弱. 此后Intensity在Typhoon 与Severe Typhoon级别之间波动, 7月23日曾再次增强至Severe Typhoon级别 (43m/s) , 但最终随着The latitude升高, at 7月27日 weakened into Nameless.
Compared with Rita in 1975 (top only for Typhoon) and Rita in 1961 (top only for Tropical Storm), in 1972 Rita reached Super Typhoon level, its Max Wind far above other years of the same name Typhoon .
