Typhoon Kathy (197601) at 1976年1月26日00时在Northwest Pacific低The latitude海域 formed, 初始Position位 at 2.3°N, 150.5°E. 在生命史初期, 系统呈现缓慢的W行Trend, 从1月26日至27日期间, 纬度由2.3°NN抬至4.9°N, During则由150.5°EW移至149.5°E, Moving速度相对平缓. 自1月28日起, Typhoon Go to 快速W移阶段, 经度在48h内从147.8°E迅速W进至141.1°E, 同时伴随明显的N折分量.
When the system Moving to 138.3°E near, its W-line partition was significantly weakened, then turned to NE. On January 31, 12 a.m. to February 1, 00 a.m., the center length of the Typhoon declined from 138.4°EE to 139.4°E, marking the completion of the path toward of the shift from “NW line” to “NE line.”
In terms of Intensity change, Typhoon Kathy experienced a typical 'formed-enhanced-top-weakened' process. January 28 at 00, System wind speed increased to 17m/s, upgraded to Tropical Storm prefix; January 28 at 12 officially named Tropical Storm (20m/s) . Then Intensity continued to climb, January 30 at 00 to Severe Tropical Storm level (28m/s), and at January 30 at 12 developed into Typhoon, wind speed to 33m/s. January 31 at 00 to 12, Typhoonined peak intensity, max wind reached 38m/s (Note: Data record peak displayed as 41m/s, here take track points highest observation value 38m/s as reference, or considered the near peak continuous state), then began to weaken.
Compared to the previous Typhoon, Katy's peak intensity in 1976 is Typhoon level (Max Wind41m/s), weak at 1969 and 1964 Super Typhoon level Katy, also slightly weak at 1961 Typhoon level Katy, but strong at 1972 only to reach Severe Tropical Storm level Katy.
