Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Babe (197403) 的生命周期始 at 1974年4月25日00时, formed at Northwest Pacific低The latitude海域 (7.1°N, 150°E) , 初始状态为Nameless. 在生命史初期, 系统呈现稳定的NW toward MovingTrend, 从4月25日至4月29日期间, 其Center由150°E附近W移至145°E左右, 纬度则由7.1°NN抬至19.2°N. 值得注意的是, 在4月27日至4月30日期间, During变化极小 (维持在145.8°E至144.6°E之间) , 表明该系统在此阶段主要受引导气流影响进行近乎正N direction的Moving, 横 toward 位移显著减缓.

From May 1, Typhoon turned toward NE direction accelerated Moving, the length quickly expanded E, from 145.8°E quickly moved to 173°E. This typical 'pell line' path characteristics display system was guided by the SW airflow before the wind belt W, gradually away from the mainland shelf, without landfall record, and finally at May 3 at 12 at 44°N, 173°E weakened dispersal.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

In terms of Intensity evolution, Babe experienced a slow increase to the peak after rapid weakening. The system was upgraded to Tropical Storm (23m/s) by Nameless at 12 on April 29, then rapidly strengthened between 00 and 12 on April 30, reaching Severe Tropical Storm intensity with max winds of recorded 30m/s, which is also the peak intensity in its history.

Its peak is only Severe Tropical Storm, while Babe (197708) has reached Super Typhoon level, and Babe (196505) has also reached Typhoon level.In comparison, Babe's Intensity in 1974 is comparable to the same name Typhoon in 1971 and 1962, staying at Severe Tropical Storm level.This suggests that in the same sequence, Babe belongs to the tropical cyclone at moderate weak Intensity, its main characteristics are at a longer history of marine life and a typical turn toward path, rather than the destruction of extreme winds.
