Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Ora (197821)'s life began at 8 October 1978 at 00:00, initial position at lat 11.3°N, 138° near the Nameless zone.In the early formed, the system presented a noticeable NW toward MovingTrend, from 8 October to 10 October, its latitude from 11.3°N rapidly increased to 17.7°N, and its length moved from 138°EW to 131.5°E, showing a stable NW pathway.

It is worth noting that the Typhoon occurred a significant turn toward process between 12 and 13 October at 12, centered at 22.1°N, 122.7°; by 13 October at 00, although the latitude continued to increase to N to 23.1°N, but the length remained unchanged at 122.7°E, indicating that at this time the Moving speed slowed down and approached the most W point. Then, from 13 October at 12, the path occurred a noticeable turn, the length from 123.1°E began toward E withdrawal, by 15 October at 00 to lat 29.5°N, 130.3°. The overall path presented a typical 'push line' shape, before NW afterward turning toward NE, the entire course without landfall any land, eventually weakened on the sea.
