Characteristics of Typhoon Marie
Track and Movement Characteristics
Typhoon Marie (197218) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“NW行—N转—NE移”的抛物线形态. formed初期 (10月5日至6日) , 系统在低纬度海域 (约14°N附近) 缓慢 toward WNW, 经度从168.7°EW移至163°E. 随后, 受引导气流影响, 其Moving direction逐渐转为NW toward , 并维持较快的移速穿越C.Pac平洋海域.
The key turning point in the track occurred from October 10 to 11. After reaching waters near 20° to 22°N, 144°E, the typhoon track shifted markedly from NW toward N and then NE. This turn accompanied a rapid increase in latitude, rising sharply from 25.7°N at 08:00 on October 11 to 46°N at 08:00 on October 13. This indicates that the system was strongly influenced by southwesterly flow ahead of a trough in the westerlies during its later stage and accelerated toward the high-latitude ocean. Throughout its entire life cycle, the Typhoon made no landfall and remained over the open ocean.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
Marie’s intensity evolution went through three stages: rapid intensification, a period of peak intensity, and extratropical weakening. Initially, it was a Tropical Storm with a pressure of 990hPa. After October 7, the system rapidly intensified into a Typhoon and reached Severe Typhoon intensity on October 9 at 08:00, with maximum winds increasing to 50m/s and pressure falling to 939hPa. It maintained its peak intensity for about 24h, with a minimum pressure of 936hPa at 20:00 on October 9. After October 10, the system began weakening gradually as it moved northward, but it remained a Severe Typhoon until 20:00 on October 11, with winds of 45m/s and a pressure of 954hPa. After moving to higher latitudes, it weakened rapidly and had been downgraded to a Severe Tropical Storm before dissipating on October 13.
Compared with previous typhoons of the same name, Marie in 1972 was significantly more intense than Marie in 1997, which had a minimum pressure of 975hPa, and Marie in 1964, which had a minimum pressure of 983hPa, demonstrating stronger explosive development. Compared with Marie in 1976, which had a minimum pressure of 930hPa, both reached Severe Typhoon intensity, although Marie in 1972 had a minimum pressure 4hPa higher and was slightly weaker. It was still one of the most destructive tropical cyclones in the western North Pacific that year.

FAQ
Typhoon Marie was the 1972 Typhoon.
The number 197218 for Typhoon Marie is the historical identifier retained by the CMA, corresponding to No. 18 of 1972. Its international name was MARIE. The unified international numbering system for the Northwest Pacific began in 1981; before then, each agency used its own numbering system. The JMA (Japan), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (USA), and China’s meteorological agencies may have assigned different numbers to the same typhoon, so these identifiers cannot be compared directly.
Where does the track data for Typhoon Marie come from?
Path. Data sources: China Meteorological Administration Tropical Cyclone Best Track Dataset (CMA-STI); wind speed refers to 2-min sustained wind speed. Track points at intermediate times are encrypted based on original operational positioning data, while wind speed and pressure are interpolated using best-track anchor points.
What is the highest level of Typhoon Marie?
Typhoon Marie peak intensity is Severe Typhoon, max wind 50m/s, minimum central pressure 936 hPa.
Typhoon Marie Landfall?
According to records, Typhoon Marie is not in our coastal landfall.
