Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Carla (197404) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific低The latitude海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“NW-转 toward NE”抛物线形态. formed初期 (5月1日至2日) , 系统位 at 8.9°N, 154.2°E附近, 稳定 toward NW, 经纬度变化显示其逐渐靠近Philippines以E洋面. 5月3日至4日, Typhoon 维持NW行径, Center由14.2°N移至17.3°N, During从146.6°EW进至143.7°E, 此阶段为路径的最W端.

The key turn toward point appeared before May 5th. The data showed that on May 5th at 00:00 a.m. the center position at 18.7°N, 143.7°E, then the length began toward E retraction (144.4°E) , marking the system was weakened by the sub-tropical high-pressure guided air flow and W wind belt impact, the path was significantly twisted. May 6th to 8th, Typhoon accelerated toward NE, the latitude rapidly climbed from 24°N to 37°N, the length was shifted from 145.7°E to 179°E, and eventually dispersed the high-latitude sea area near the international date change line.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Carla's Intensity evolution underwent a complete 'enhanced-top-weakened' process. Initial phase was Nameless (12m/s), intensified into Tropical Storm (20m/s) on May 2nd at 12:00 pm. Upgraded to Severe Tropical Storm (28m/s) on May 4th in the morning, and at 12:00 on the same day reached Typhoon level (33m/s). on May 5th at 00:00, the system reached peak intensity, max wind recorded 41m/s. Then intensity rapidly declined, on May 6th at 00:00 down to Severe Tropical Storm (30m/s), and further weakened into Nameless, until the end of life.

Compared to the previous typhoon, the intensity of the carla in 1974 at a medium level. compared to the carla at 1965 and 1967 twice reached the 'Super Typhoon' level, its peak wind speed is significantly lower; but the carla at the 'Severe Tropical Storm' level in 1971 and the carla in 1977 onlyined the 'Nameless' intensity.
