1975 Typhoon Past typhoons named Cora Typhoon archive

[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon Cora (No.197512, a historical numbering designation used before 1981) was a 1975 Northwest Pacific typhoon. It peaked as a super typhoon, with maximum winds of 55 m/s and a minimum central pressure of 944 hPa. It did not make landfall in China, was designated no longer numbered on 1975-10-07, and has 26 recorded track points throughout its lifetime.

Numbering note: International uniform numbering in 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 1975. The number 197512 is the historical number retained by the CMA, as the numbers assigned that year by the JMA in Japan, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in the United States, and China’s meteorological authorities for the same typhoon may differ and cannot be compared directly.

Track and Movement Characteristics

Typhoon Cora (197512) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific洋面, 整体路径呈现典型的“NW-NE”抛物线型转 toward 特征. formed初期 (10月1日至2日) , 系统自135.2°E附近 toward NW direction稳定Moving, 纬度从12.2°N迅速N抬至18.5°N, 经度W移幅度较小, 显示其受副热带高压S侧引导气流影响显著. 10月3日至4日, Typhoon 继续 toward NNW direction推进, 抵达24.8°N, 129.3°E附近时, 经度变化趋缓, 标志着路径转折点的临近.

The key recurvature occurred between 14:00 on October 4 and 02:00 on October 5. During this period, the typhoon’s center moved rapidly from 27.4°N, 130.5°E to 30.3°N, 133.6°E, shifting from a northwestward to a northeastward course and completing its recurvature. The system then accelerated toward the northeast, crossing waters between 140° and 160° longitude before weakening and dissipating near 41.5°N, 163°E on October 7. It made no landfall during its entire lifetime and was mainly active over open waters.

Intensity evolution and historical comparison

Cora’s intensity evolution went through three stages: rapid intensification, a sustained peak, and gradual weakening. Initially, central pressure fell from 1005hPa to 1000hPa while wind speed increased slowly. After becoming a typhoon at 14:00 on October 3, its intensity grew explosively, with pressure plunging from 970hPa to 950hPa and wind speed rising from 35m/s to 45m/s in less than 24h. It reached peak intensity at 14:00 on October 4, when it was confirmed as a super typhoon with a minimum pressure of 944hPa (945hPa near the observed extreme) and maximum winds of 55m/s. This peak intensity was maintained for about 36h before the typhoon began weakening after moving into the cold waters at high latitudes on October 6.

Compared with previous typhoons of the same name, Cora in 1975 reached a relatively high intensity. Its peak pressure of 944hPa was lower than that of Cora in 1972 (970hPa) and 1964 (970hPa), slightly higher than that of Cora in 1969 (940hPa), but weaker than that of Cora in 1966 (918hPa). Notably, the 1975 typhoon maintained super typhoon strength for a long time after recurving, demonstrating greater structural stability than some earlier typhoons of the same name, which weakened rapidly after recurvature.

FAQ

Typhoon Cora was the 1975 Typhoon.

Cora’s 197512 is the historical number retained by the CMA, referring to the 12th typhoon of 1975, while its international name was CORA. International uniform numbering in the Northwest Pacific began in 1981. Before then, individual agencies assigned their own numbers, so the numbers used by the JMA in Japan, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in the United States, and China’s meteorological authorities for the same typhoon may differ and cannot be compared directly.

Where did the track data for Typhoon CORA come from?

Path. Data sources: China Meteorological Administration Tropical Cyclone Best Track Dataset (CMA-STI); wind speed refers to 2-min sustained wind speed.
