1976 Typhoon Past typhoons named Louise Typhoon archive

[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon Louise, No. 197621, uses the historical numbering system in effect before 1981. It was a 1976 Northwest Pacific typhoon that peaked as a super typhoon, with maximum winds of 65 m/s and a minimum central pressure of 896 hPa. It did not make landfall in China and was officially closed out on November 8, 1976. A total of 45 track points were recorded throughout its lifetime.

Numbering note: The internationally unified numbering system for the Northwest Pacific has been assigned by the JMA in Japan, the Tokyo Regional Specialized Meteorological Center, since 1981. No such system existed in 1976. The identifier 197621 is the historical number retained by the CMA, while the numbers used 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 could differ and cannot be directly compared.

Typhoon Louise Route Analysis

Track and Movement Characteristics

Typhoon Louise (197621) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“W进后转 toward NE”的抛物线形态. formed初期 (10月28日至30日) , 系统在低纬度海域 (6.3°N-10°N) 缓慢 toward WMoving, 期间经度从152.8°EW移至147.8°E, 显示出受副热带高压S侧引导气流影响的稳定W行特征. 11月1日至2日, 系统继续 toward W推进至133.5°E附近, 随后路径发生显著转折. 11月3日起, 随着纬度迅速N抬 (从15.1°N增至11月8日的32.4°N) , Typhoon Go to 转 toward 阶段, Moving direction由W转为N, 进而转为NE direction. 值得注意的是, 在11月4日至5日期间, 尽管纬度持续增加, 但经度变化极小 (127°E至127.8°E) , 表明系统在转 toward 过程中曾出现短暂的停滞或近乎垂直N上的Moving特征, 随后加速 toward NE direction移入高纬度开阔洋面. 全生命周期内无Landfall记录, 始终在海上活动.

Intensity evolution and historical comparison

该Typhoon 经历了极为迅猛的增强过程. 从10月31日的Tropical Storm (20m/s, 995hPa) 开始, 仅用不到4天Time, at 11月4日02:00达到peak intensity, 中心最低气压降至896hPa, max wind 达65m/s, 评定为Super Typhoon. 特别是在11月1日至2日期间, 气压在36h内骤降45hPa (从980hPa降至935hPa) , wind speed增加30m/s, 展现了极强的爆发力. 巅峰状态维持了约3天 (11月2日至5日) , 之后随着纬度升高和海温降低, intensity 逐渐减弱, 至11月8日消散时已降级为Tropical Storm.

Compared with previous typhoons of the same name, Louise in 1976 was significantly more intense. Its minimum central pressure of 896 hPa was far lower than those of the same-named typhoons in 1973 at 974 hPa, 1970 at 978 hPa, and 1967 at 980 hPa, and even surpassed Super Typhoon Louise in 1964 at 923 hPa. This indicates that the 1976 storm was the most intense same-named cyclone in recorded history, with the lowest central pressure, and was a highly destructive ocean-born super typhoon.

Typhoon Louise was the 1976 Typhoon.

The identifier 197621 for Typhoon Louise is the historical number retained by the CMA, meaning the 21st typhoon of 1976, while its international name was LOUISE. The internationally unified numbering system for the Northwest Pacific did not begin until 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 could differ and cannot be directly compared.

Where does the track data for Typhoon Louise come from?
