Typhoon Cora trajectory analysis
Track and Turning Characteristics
Typhoon Cora (196907) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“NW—N—NE”抛物线型Moving特征. formed初期 (8月13日至15日) , 系统位 at 低纬度洋面 (约9.5°N-11.2°N) , 受副热带高压S侧引导气流影响, 稳定 toward NW. 随着纬度升高, 8月16日至19日期间, Typhoon 维持WNW路径, 快速穿越Philippines以E洋面, 经度从139.1°E迅速W进至128.4°E.
The key turning phase occurred between August 20 and 21. When its center reached approximately 25.9°N, 127.2°E, the typhoon reached its westernmost point, after which the track curved markedly northward. After August 21, the steering flow ahead of a westerly trough drew it directly north, and it gradually turned northeast. From August 23 to 24, the system accelerated northeast, with its latitude rising rapidly from 34.5°N to 45.3°N, before weakening and dissipating over high-latitude waters. Throughout its entire lifecycle, the typhoon made no landfall and remained at sea.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
在Intensity变化方面, Cora经历了完整的“ formed—增强—巅峰—减弱”过程. 从8月13日的Tropical Depression (1009hPa) 起步, 系统在NW行过程中持续加深, at 8月19日发展为Typhoon 级 (964hPa) . 8月20日02:00, Typhoon 在25.9°N附近达到peak intensity, 中心最低气压降至940hPa, max wind 达50m/s, 评定为Severe Typhoon. 巅峰维持Time较短, 随后因N上Go to 高纬冷水区及垂直风切变增大, intensity 迅速衰减. 8月21日起气压回升至958hPa以上, wind speed回落至40m/s及以下, 最终 at 8月24日晚 weakened into Tropical Depression.
Compared with storms of the same name, the 1969 Cora had a slightly stronger peak intensity than the 1975 Cora at 944 hPa and the 1972 Cora at 970 hPa, but was weaker than the 1966 Cora at 918 hPa. Notably, although the 1964 Cora had a recorded pressure of 970 hPa, it was classified as a super typhoon. This may reflect differences in intensity-rating standards or data-recording practices across different periods. Overall, the 1969 Cora was a powerful open-ocean typhoon with an intensity of 940 hPa. Its 11.5-day lifecycle demonstrated the typical evolution of a mature typhoon over the open ocean.

FAQ
Typhoon Cora is the 1969 Typhoon.
The identifier 196907 for Typhoon Cora is the historical number used by the CMA, meaning the seventh typhoon of 1969, while its international name was CORA. International numbering in the Northwest Pacific did not begin until 1981. Before then, agencies used their own numbering systems, so the numbers assigned by JMA in Japan, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in the United States, and China’s meteorological authorities may differ for the same typhoon and cannot be compared directly.
Where did the track data for Typhoon CORA come from?
Track data sources: China Meteorological Administration Tropical Cyclone Best Track Dataset (CMA-STI); wind speeds are 2-minute sustained wind speeds.
What is the highest level of Typhoon Cora?
Typhoon Cora peak intensity is Severe Typhoon, max wind 50m/s, minimum central pressure 940 hPa.
The Typhoon CoraLandfall.
According to records, Typhoon Cora is not in our coastal landfall.
Where can I view typhoon Cora's live track map?
