Typhoon Rita, international code 197822, international name RITA, 1978 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 1978-10-16 12:00:00, ended: 1978-10-29 18:00:00. Peak intensity: Super Typhoon, minimum central pressure: 880 hPa, max wind: 77m/s.
Typhoon Rita at 1978-10-16 12:00:00 at 9°N, 179.7°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.
It peaked at Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of 77 m/s (~277 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 880hPa, recorded at 1978-10-23 06:00:00.
1978-10-29 18:00:00 After, Typhoon Rita gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1978-10-29 18:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 54 track points.
Typhoon Rita (197822) at 1978年10月16日12时在Northwest Pacific远洋海域 formed, 初始Position位 at 9°N, 179.7°E. 在整个生命史中, 该Typhoon 呈现出稳定的W行路径特征, 未出现明显的N上转 toward 或Landfall行为. 从经The latitude坐标序列分析, Typhoon 中心自国际日期变更线附近 toward W穿越广阔的洋面, 纬度变化相对平缓, 从初期的9°N缓慢N抬至10月27日的17°N, 随后在消散阶段略有S落. 这种长距离, 低纬度的W行路径表明其主要受副热带高压S侧E气流的引导, 且期间未受到显著的中纬度W风带扰动影响. 直至10月29日18时在12.5°N, 109.4°E附近 weakened into Nameless并结束观测, 全程无Landfall记录, 主要活动区域集中在开阔洋面.
Rita的Intensity演变经历了典型的“快速增强-巅峰维持-迅速减弱”过程. formed初期为Nameless, 10月19日 intensified into Tropical Storm, 次日即发展为Typhoon . 值得注意的是, 其在10月21日至10月26日期间维持Super Typhoon等级长达6天, max wind 达到77m/s, 并在10月23日和25日两次触及这一峰值, 显示出极强的能量维持能力. 然而, Go to 10月27日后, 其Intensity急剧衰减, 24h内wind speed从64m/s骤降至28m/s, 降级为Severe Tropical Storm, 最终在两天内 weakened into Nameless.
Compared with the history of Typhoon, Rita's Intensity performance in 1978 was remarkable. compared with Rita in 1975 (top only for Typhoon) and Rita in 1961 (top only for Tropical Storm), Rita reached the Super Typhoon level in 1978 and its destruction potential was very high in the first two.
