1967 Typhoon Past typhoons named Carla Typhoon archive

[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon Carla (No.196718, 1981年前的历史序号) is a 1967 Northwest Pacific typhoon; peak intensity Super Typhoon, max wind 80m/s, minimum central pressure 900hPa, 未在我国Landfall, 1967-10-20 was numbered off, 全程记录41 track points. (注: 1970年代以前的Typhoon Intensity主要依靠飞机侦察和船舶报告估算, wind speed记录普遍偏高, 此为China气象局最佳路径原始值, 与现代卫星时代数据不宜直接比较. )

Numbering note: International numbering for the Northwest Pacific has been assigned by JMA, the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center for East Asia, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1967, so 196718 is the historical number retained by the CMA. The numbers assigned that year by JMA, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, and Chinese meteorological authorities to the same typhoon may differ and cannot be compared directly.
Track data sources: China Meteorological Administration Tropical Cyclone Best Track Dataset (CMA-STI); wind speeds are 2-minute sustained wind speeds.

Typhoon Carla trajectory analysis

Track and Movement Characteristics

Typhoon Carla (196718) 的生命史始 at 1967年10月10日08时的Northwest Pacific洋面, 初始Position位 at lat 11°N, 150°附近. 在 formed初期, 系统呈现 toward WSW direction的缓慢MovingTrend, at 10月11日02时到达最S端纬度9.5°N. 随后, typhoon track发生显著转折, 转为稳定的NW toward Moving, 并逐渐加速穿越Philippines以E海域. 整个生命周期中, 该Typhoon 未出现Landfall记录, 始终在海上活动. 从经纬度坐标序列分析, 其Moving路径呈现出典型的抛物线型前段特征, 即先SW调整, 再持续NW行进, 直至Go to S海N部后转 toward W至NW direction, 最终 at 10月20日08时在N部湾附近减弱消散. 全程历时约10天, track pointstotal 计41个, 显示出一个长寿命且Moving规律性较强的Tropical Cyclone 特征.

Intensity evolution and historical comparison

Carla underwent extremely rapid, explosive intensification. After becoming a tropical storm on October 12, it strengthened dramatically within just 48 hours. Between 02:00 and 20:00 on October 14, central pressure plummeted from 965 hPa to 917 hPa, while maximum wind increased from 45 m/s to 70 m/s, making it a super typhoon. At 14:00 on October 15, Carla reached its peak, with a minimum central pressure of 900 hPa and maximum winds of 80 m/s, indicating immense destructive potential. However, from October 16, as it moved deeper toward the northwest, its intensity steadily weakened, with pressure rising and wind speeds declining. Before dissipating on October 20, it had weakened to a tropical depression.

Compared with previous typhoons of the same name, Carla in 1967 had a decisively stronger intensity. The peak intensities of the Carlas in 1977, 1971, and 1965 were only severe tropical storms or typhoons, with minimum pressures above 985 hPa. Even the stronger Carla of 1974 had a minimum pressure of 963 hPa, far higher than the 900 hPa recorded by Carla in 1967. This makes the 1967 Carla the strongest and most energetic typhoon in the series, with a peak intensity far exceeding other typhoons bearing the same name.
