Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Carla (197709) has a short life history, formed from 00:00 on 3 September 1977 to 00:00 on 5 September 1977 dispersed,ining NamelessIntensity. From the spatial trajectory, the system presents a stable W toward Moving characteristic. Initial Position position at lat 18.5°N, 114.3° ocean, then continues toward WS direction.

The path curvature is very small, there is no noticeable turn toward or twist phenomenon. The average Moving speed per hour is more uniform, especially between 06:00 on 3 September and 06:00 on 4 September, the systemins a strong W line momentum. Until the end of life, as the intensity further weakens, the Moving speed slightly slows, but the overall path remains linear toward the W Trend. By at always active at sea and the Intensity limited, the Typhoon no Landfall records, mainly affecting the area for the open ocean.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

在Intensity变化方面, Typhoon Carla表现出“短暂增强后持续减弱”的特征. formed初期wind speed为15m/s, 在9月3日06:00达到peak intensity, max wind 增至17m/s, 并维持该Intensity约30h. 此后, 从9月4日12:00开始, 中心附近Max Wind逐步回落, 依次降至15m/s, 12m/s, 最终在9月5日00:00 weakened into 10m/s后 was numbered off. 全过程气压数据缺失, 仅能依据wind speed判断其始终处 at Nameless量级, 未能发展为更高级别的Tropical Storm或Typhoon .

Historical records show that the name “Carla” has been used several times at naming Severe Typhoon even Super Typhoon. For example, in 1965 and 1967 Carla reached Super Typhoon level, in 1974 Carla reached Typhoon level, and in 1971 Carla reached Severe Tropical Storm level.
