1973 Typhoon Past typhoons named Ellen Typhoon archive

[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon Ellen (No.197305, the historical numbering system used before 1981) was a 1973 Northwest Pacific typhoon. It reached super typhoon intensity, with maximum winds of 55m/s and a minimum central pressure of 943hPa. It did not make landfall in China and was numbered off on 1973-07-29. The full track contains 53 points.

Numbering note: The internationally unified numbering system for the Northwest Pacific has been assigned by the JMA (Japan), the RSMC for the East Asia region, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1973. The identifier 197305 is the historical number continued by the CMA, and the numbers assigned that year by the JMA (Japan), the United States 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.

Characteristics of Typhoon Ellen

Track and turning characteristics

Typhoon Ellen (197305) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“先N后W再折返”的复杂形态. formed初期 (7月16日至18日) , 系统自20°N附近 toward NW, 经度从136.5°E迅速W进至138.8°E附近. 随后在7月19日达到最N端纬度24.6°N时, 路径发生显著转折, 转为近乎正N, 并 at 次日快速N上至29.5°N. 值得注意的是, 该Typhoon 在7月20日后并未继续深入高纬或Landfallland, 而是在32.3°N, 136.6°E附近完成第二次关键转 toward , 随后路径转为WSW direction, 逐渐靠近Japan以S洋面. 在生命末期 (7月24日至29日) , 系统在30°N-33°N, 129°E-137°E之间出现罕见的回旋摆动, 最终 toward NE direction移出监测区域. 全程无Landfall记录, 主要活动范围集中在开阔洋面.

Intensity evolution and historical comparison

Ellen的Intensity变化具有“爆发式增强”与“长Time维持低压”的双重特征. 在 formed后的短短三天内, Pressure从1008hPa急剧下降至943hPa, max wind 飙升至55m/s, at 7月19日达到Super Typhoon级别, 显示出极快的加强速率. 然而, 巅峰状态维持Time极短, 仅一天后 (7月20日) Intensity便迅速 weakened into Typhoon 级 (35m/s, 975hPa) , 并在随后两天内降级为Tropical Storm及Tropical Depression. 尽管Intensity大幅衰减, 系统在7月22日至27日期间长期维持在Tropical Depression等级 (10-15m/s) , 生命力顽强.

Compared with previous typhoons of the same name, Ellen's peak intensity of 943hPa was stronger than those of 1986, at 960hPa, and 1976, at 985hPa, but weaker than those of 1983, at 928hPa, and 1980, at 933hPa. In other words, its minimum central pressure was higher than those of the 1983 and 1980 storms, but lower than those of the 1986 and 1976 storms. Ellen was therefore among the more intense storms to bear the name, although its prolonged persistence as a weak system after rapid weakening was distinctive.
