Typhoon Ruth (197318) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现显著的WNMovingTrend, 全程未Landfall任何陆地. formed初期 (10月11日至12日) , 系统位 at 140°E以E, toward NW direction稳定Moving. Go to 10月13日后, 路径出现短暂调整, The latitude微降后继续 toward W推进, 穿越Philippines以E海域. 在10月14日至17日期间, Typhoon 维持稳定的W行路径, 横穿S海N部, During从125.6°E快速移至111.6°E, 显示其受副热带高压S侧引导气流影响显著, Moving速度较快且 direction明确.
It is worth noting that the Typhoon at the end of life after October 18 gradually turned toward NNW, eventually at October 21 in Vietnam to E near the sea (about 104.5°E, 24.3°N) to weaken dispersal. The entire path span is enormous, from the initial 142.7°E to the end of 104.5°E, along the toward crossing 40 lengths, is a typical long-distance Wtyphoon track.
The initial phase was Nameless, intensified into Tropical Storm on October 12, then upgraded to Typhoon on October 14, its peak intensity appeared on October 17, at 18, reaching Severe Typhoon intensity with max winds of 46m/s. Prior to this, October 15, once reached 43m/s of Severe Typhoon Intensity, then on October 16, briefly weakened into 33m/s of Typhoon level, but rebounded to peak when approaching the Swedish Sea.
Compared to the previously named Typhoon, Ruth's Intensity performance in 1973 was rather prominent. Compared to RuthTyphoon in 1994 (top Tropical Storm), 1987 (top Nameless) and 1983 (top Severe Tropical Storm), the system reached Severe Typhoon level in 1973, intensity significantly stronger. however, its Intensity was still low at 1991 Ruth (top Super Typhoon).
