1970 Typhoon Past typhoons named Patsy Typhoon archive

[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon Patsy (No.197018, its historical number before 1981) was a 1970 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Its peak intensity was super typhoon, with maximum winds of 60m/s and a minimum central pressure of 905hPa. It made no landfall in China, was numbered off on 1970-11-22, and has 35 recorded track points in total.

Numbering note: The international numbering system for the Northwest Pacific has been assigned by the JMA in Japan, the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center for East Asia, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1970. The number 197018 is the historical identifier retained by the CMA, while the JMA in Japan, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in the USA, and the meteorological authorities in China may have assigned different numbers to the same typhoon that year, so they cannot be directly compared.
Track data sources: China Meteorological Administration Tropical Cyclone Best Track Dataset (CMA-STI); wind speeds are 2-minute sustained wind speeds.

Typhoon Patsy Route Analysis

Path and Moving Characteristics

Typhoon Patsy (197018) at 1970年11月14日02:00在Northwest Pacific洋面 formed, 初始Position为(13°N, 157°E). 纵观其全生命周期, 该Typhoon 呈现出稳定且持续的WNWMovingTrend. 从 formed至消散, 其纬度由13°N缓慢N抬至16.8°N, 经度则从157°E大幅W进至106.3°E, 横跨超过50个经度. 在整个Moving过程中, 路径曲率较小, 未出现明显的转 toward 或折返现象, 表现为典型的纬 toward 主导, 略带N toward 分量的长About 离移行特征. 由 at 始终在开阔洋面上活动, 全程无Landfall记录, 最终 at 11月22日14:00在(16.6°N, 106.3°E) weakened into Tropical Depression后结束观测.

Intensity Evolution Analysis

该Typhoon 的生命史展现了极为剧烈的Intensity爆发与衰减过程. formed初期发展迅速, 仅用约40h便从Tropical Depression增强为Typhoon 级别. 11月18日是其Intensity的巅峰时刻, 中心最低气压降至905hPa以下 (观测数据显示18日14:00为915hPa, 但巅峰记录为905hPa) , max wind 达到60m/s, 确立为Super Typhoon等级. 值得注意的是, 在11月18日02:00至14:00期间, 尽管气压维持在极低水平, wind speed仍从55m/s攀升至60m/s, 显示核心结构高度紧密. 然而, 巅峰状态维持Time较短, 自11月19日起, 随着系统继续W移, intensity 开始显著下滑. 气压在24h内从915hPa回升至950hPa, wind speed骤降15m/s. Go to 11月20日后, 减弱Trend加速, 最终在生命末期回归Tropical DepressionIntensity. 这种“快速增强, 短暂巅峰, 持续减弱”的模式反映了其在适宜海温区获得能量后, 随环境条件变化而迅速衰变的典型热力学特征.

Same-Name Comparison

In the naming sequence of Patsy, the 1970 typhoon was particularly intense. Compared with Patsy (197317) in 1973, both reached super typhoon status, but the 1973 typhoon had a lower minimum central pressure of 893hPa and was slightly more intense. By contrast, the same-named typhoons in 1967, 1965, and 1962 were noticeably weaker, with peak intensities of severe tropical storm and typhoon, and minimum central pressures above 975hPa. Thus, Patsy in 1970 belonged to the leading tier in intensity within this naming sequence. Its exceptionally low central pressure of 905hPa and maximum wind speed of 60m/s demonstrated its significant power as a late-autumn severe typhoon.
