The SummaryTyphoon Elaine (international code 197424) is a 1974 Northwest Pacific typhoon; peak intensity Severe Typhoon, max wind 48m/s, minimum central pressure 940hPa, not in China Landfall, 1974-11-01 was numbered off, recording 37 track points.
Typhoon Elaine, international code 197424, international name ELAINE, 1974 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 1974-10-23 00:00:00, ended: 1974-11-01 00:00:00. Peak intensity: Severe Typhoon, minimum central pressure: 940 hPa, max wind: 48m/s.
Typhoon Elaine at 1974-10-23 00:00:00 at 13.1°N, 144.3°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.
It peaked at Severe Typhoon intensity with max winds of 48 m/s (~173 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 940hPa, recorded at 1974-10-27 12:00:00.
1974-11-01 00:00:00 After, Typhoon Elaine gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1974-11-01 00:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 37 track points.
Typhoon Elaine (197424)'s life begins at the Northwest Pacific Ocean Ocean, the overall path represents the typical W line NTrend, the entire course without landfall land. From the formed initial coordinate sequence, the system at 23 October at 144.3°E formed after, the initial main toward NW, the latitude from 13.1°N rapidly increased to 18.1°N, the length then toward W extended to 139.5°E. It is noteworthy that during October 24 to 25th, the Typhoon center occurred a short-term latitude toward stagnation and even a small S retreat (from 18.1°N dropped to 17.7°N) , then restored the stable W path. Go to SN, the path gradually turned to WNW direction, at the end of November 1 at 1.
Elaine's Intensity evolution has experienced a typical process of 'fast enhancement - peak maintenance - slow weakening'. the system before October 26 at Nameless to Severe Tropical Storm stage, wind speed increased from 10m/s to 30m/s. Then rapidly enhanced within 24h, at October 26 at 18 am reached Typhoon level (41m/s) , and at October 27 at 12 am at 124.5°E reached peak intensity, max wind recorded 48m/s, qualified as Severe Typhoon.
Data show that 1971 Elaine (197126) and 1968 Elaine (196814) both reached Super Typhoon level, its destruction potential significantly high at Severe Typhoon level this year. Compared, 1974 Elaine's 48m/s peak speedwind only slightly higher at 1960 Elaine (Typhoon ), but strong at 1965 Elaine (Severe Tropical Storm). This suggests that although 'Elaine' the name has repeatedly corresponded to high Intensity system, but the 1974 process did not develop extreme Intensity, belonging at instances in the name series Intensity.
