1973 Typhoon Past typhoons named Marge Typhoon archive

[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon Marge (No. 197314, the historical numbering used before 1981) was a 1973 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Its peak intensity was super typhoon, with maximum winds of 60 m/s and a minimum central pressure of 925 hPa. It made no landfall in China and was numbered off on September 15, 1973. A total of 22 track points were recorded throughout its lifetime.

Numbering note: Uniform international numbering in the Northwest Pacific was introduced by the JMA in Japan, the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center for East Asia, in 1981. This system did not exist in 1973. The designation 197314 is the historical number continued by the CMA. The numbers assigned that year to the same typhoon by the JMA in Japan, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in the United States, and China’s meteorological authorities 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 Marge Route Characteristics

Track and Movement Characteristics

Typhoon Marge (197314) at 1973年9月10日08时在Philippines以E洋面 formed, 初始Position为14.9°N, 129°E. 在整个生命史中, 该Typhoon 呈现出稳定的NW toward MovingTrend, 未出现明显的路径转 toward 或停滞现象. 从经纬度坐标序列分析, Typhoon 中心自 formed至消散, 纬度由14.9°N逐步N移至20.1°N, 经度由129°E持续W进至104°E, 整体Moving direction保持WNW. 值得注意的是, 该Typhoon 全程无Landfall记录, 其路径主要经过S海N部海域, 最终在Vietnam以E海域减弱消散. 这种长About 离的海上Moving路径为其Intensity的剧烈演变提供了充足的热力条件支持, 同时也避免了直接land摩擦对结构的早期破坏.

Intensity Evolution and Explosive Enhancement

Marge的Intensity变化具有显著的“快速增强”与“快速减弱”特征. formed初期至9月12日08时, 系统维持Tropical Depression至Tropical Storm等级, wind speed稳定在10-20m/s, 气压缓慢下降. 然而, 从9月13日02时起, Typhoon Go to 爆发性增强阶段: 在短短36h内, max wind 从25m/s激增至60m/s, 中心最低气压从990hPa骤降至925hPa, at 9月14日02时达到peak intensity, 定为Super Typhoon. 这一阶段的Intensity跃升极为罕见, 显示了极佳的内部动力结构. 然而, 巅峰状态维持Time极短, 仅约12h后, 自9月14日08时起, Typhoon 迅速减弱, wind speed在24h内由40m/s降至20m/s, 气压回升至992hPa, 最终 at 9月15日14时 weakened into Tropical Depression. 这种不对称的Intensity演变曲线表明, 其在达到巅峰后可能遭遇了垂直风切变增大或海温降低等不利环境因素.

Typhoon Intensity Comparison

Within the history of the Marge naming sequence, Typhoon 197314 reached a moderately high peak intensity. Its minimum central pressure of 925 hPa and maximum wind speed of 60 m/s were substantially stronger than Marge in 1986 (947 hPa), 1976 (975 hPa), and 1970 (987 hPa). However, in absolute intensity, the 1973 system was slightly weaker than Marge in 1983, which recorded a lower central pressure of 892 hPa and reached super typhoon status. In summary, although Typhoon Marge in 1973 did not set the record for the strongest storm bearing this name, its brief super typhoon phase and dramatic intensity fluctuations make it a highly valuable case for research within the naming series.

Before then, individual agencies used their own numbering systems, so the numbers assigned by the JMA in Japan, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in the United States, and China’s meteorological authorities to the same typhoon may differ and cannot be compared directly.

Where does the track data for Typhoon Marge 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 Typhoon Marge?

Typhoon Marge peak intensity is Super Typhoon, max wind 60m/s, minimum central pressure 925 hPa.
