1965 JTWC ANNUAL TYPHOON REPORT
of LUCY Chapter V
ONLY 1 of 21 1965 typhoons presented here.
- TYPHOON LUCY - 150600Z TO 230600Z AUGUST 1965
- I. DATA
- A. Statistics
- 1. Number of warnings issued - 33
- 2. Number of warnings with typhoon intensity - 27
- 3. Total distance traveled during tropical warning period - 2583 mi
- B. Characteristics as a typhoon
- 1. Minimum observed SLP - 940mbs at 200300Z
- 2. Minimum observed 700mb height - 2609m. at 190240Z
- 3. Maximum surface wind 150 kts (From Best Track)
- 4. Maximum radius of surface circulation - 425 mi
- A. Statistics
- II. DEVELOPMENT
- A. Initial impetus - Fracture of southwestern tip of Polar trough in mid levels
- B. Initial surface vortex
- 1. A junction vortex could be tracked northwestward from 130000Z. However, just prior to 150600Z a reconnaissance aircraft proceeding northward from the junction vortex encountered light and variable winds and then increasing westerly winds, followed by the initial fix on LUCY.. Therefore, LUCY actually formed in the embedded vortex.
- 2. Surface pressure less than 1007mbs
- C. 200mb flow above surface vortex
- 1. Initial - northeasterly
- 2. Upon reaching typhoon intensity - southerly
- III. FINAL DISPOSITION
- A. Became extratropical
