Overview of Typhoon Clara

Typhoon Clara at 1981-09-13 18:00:00 at 9.9°N, 144.9°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.

It peaked at Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of 61 m/s (~220 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 925hPa, recorded at 1981-09-19 18:00:00.

1981-09-22 12:00:00 After, Typhoon Clara gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1981-09-22 12:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 36 track points.

Characteristics of Typhoon Clara

Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Clara (198116)'s life history began at the Northwest Pacific Ocean on September 13, 1981, at the initial position at lat 9.9°N, 144.9°. From formed to dispersed, the Typhoon overall presented a stable NW toward MovingTrend, with no apparent path turn or rotation phenomenon.

It is worth noting that although the Typhoon Intensity is extremely high, Max Wind at its peak at 61m/s, but its entire Landfall record. path data show that the Typhoon center has always remained at sea Moving, recently pushed near the lng 112.7° waters, but did not cross the coastline Go to land.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Clara’s Intensity evolution underwent a typical “fast enhancement – peak maintenance – gradual weakening” process. Initially developed as Nameless slowly, upgraded to Tropical Storm until September 17th. Then Go to rapid enhancement, in less than two days Time, i.e. jumped from September 18th’s Typhoon level (35m/s) to September 19th’s Super Typhoon level, max wind jumped to 61m/s, reaching its life history’s intensity peak.

Compared to the 1988 (198808) and 1976 (197614) only reached the Tropical StormIntensity of the same name Typhoon, the 1981 case destruction potential is significantly higher. although the 1984 (198420) and 1967 (196704) of the same name Typhoon also reached the Super Typhoon level, but in 1981 Clara with an extremely high wind speed of 61m/s, established its strong position in the same name Typehoon sequence.
