Characteristics of Typhoon Therese
Path and Moving Characteristics
Typhoon Therese (197609) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“NW行—转 toward NE”的抛物线形态. formed初期 (7月9日至12日) , 系统在低纬度海域稳定 toward NW, 纬度从9°N缓慢爬升至10.9°N, 经度由160°EW进至149.8°E. 7月13日至15日期间, 随着系统Intensity达到巅峰, 其Moving速度加快, 路径维持NNW走 toward , 迅速穿越Philippines以E洋面, 纬度在48h内从12.6°N跃升至22.2°N.
The key turning process occurred after 20:00 on July 15. At that time, the system was centered at 22.2°N, 137.2°E, after which the curvature of its track gradually increased and its movement shifted from northwestward to due north, before turning toward the northeast. Around July 18, the system completed its main turn near 30°N and entered the region influenced by the mid-latitude westerlies. Its track then became gentler and shifted slightly eastward before dissipating near 32.6°N, 127.5°E on July 21. Throughout its entire life cycle, the typhoon made no landfall and remained at sea.
Intensity evolution and historical comparison
Therese的Intensity演变具有“快速增强, 双峰结构, 缓慢减弱”的显著特征. 初始阶段, 系统从Tropical Depression迅速加强, 仅用约3天Time便发展为Super Typhoon. 7月13日14时, 其Max Wind已达65m/s, 气压降至911hPa. 值得注意的是, 该系统在 weakened into Severe Typhoon后, at 7月15日20时再次爆发增强, 达到生涯最低气压898hPa及Max Wind65m/s的巅峰状态, 显示出极强的能量维持能力.
After July 16, affected by environmental factors at high latitudes, the system’s intensity began fluctuating and weakening, but it remained at typhoon intensity until July 18. After moving over the sea south of Japan, the system rapidly weakened into a tropical depression and eventually dissipated. Compared with Typhoon Therese of the same name in 1972, the 1976 system had more extreme intensity: its minimum pressure of 898 hPa was far lower than the 944 hPa recorded by the 1972 storm, indicating stronger core convection, a more compact structure, and an exceptionally rare super typhoon in the historical record.

FAQ
Typhoon Therese was the 1976 Typhoon.
Therese's number 197609 is the historical identifier continued by the CMA, meaning the ninth typhoon of 1976. Its international name was THERESE. International cyclone numbering in the Northwest Pacific did not begin until 1981; before then, agencies numbered storms independently. Therefore, the numbers assigned by the JMA in Japan, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in the United States, and Chinese meteorological agencies may differ and cannot be directly compared.
Where does the track data for Typhoon Therese 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 Therese?
Typhoon Therese peak intensity is Super Typhoon, max wind 65m/s, minimum central pressure 898 hPa.
Is the Typhoon Therese Landfall?
According to records, Typhoon Therese is not in our coastal landfall.
Where can I view typhoon Therese's live track map?
