The biggest typhoon in the history of the world-Typhoon Taipei. Let me introduce typhoon Taipei.

Typhoon Taipei (English: Typhoon Tip) is the most comprehensive tropical cyclone in the world on record. It originated from the disturbed weather caused by the monsoon trough near Pengbei Island on June 4th, 65438, and was the typhoon season of 19 and 12 in June 1979 in the Pacific Ocean. At first, the development and movement of Taipei was adversely affected by the northwest tropical storm, but after the storm moved northward, Taipei was strengthened. After passing through Guam, the cyclone intensified explosively, reaching the highest intensity of wind speed of 305 kilometers per hour on June 12, and the sea level pressure was as low as 870 millibars (hectopascals, 25.69 inches of mercury), setting a new world record. At this intensity, the diameter of the typhoon's wind field is as high as 2220 kilometers, setting a record for the largest coverage of tropical cyclones. Taipei then continued to move to the west-northwest direction, then turned to the northeast due to the approach of the trough of low pressure, and gradually weakened in the process. /KOOC-0/0/KOOC-0/October/KOOC-0/9, the cyclone landed in southern Japan and soon became an extratropical cyclone.

The Meteorological Bureau of the US Air Force sent 60 reconnaissance planes into the inland of Taipei to carry out observation tasks, so this typhoon became one of the tropical cyclones with the closest observation times [1]. The US Marine Corps training camp in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, was indirectly triggered by Taipei, resulting in 13 deaths and 68 disasters. In other parts of the country, typhoons also caused extensive floods, resulting in 42 deaths, many ships sinking at sea and at least 44 deaths or missing.

The biggest typhoon in history, Taipei.

Typhoon Dipper is the most influential typhoon in the world since the exact record. It was formed in the western North Pacific Ocean on 1979 10.3, ended at 1979 10.22, and lasted for 19 days, with the highest wind speed of 306 km/h and the lowest air pressure of 870.

At the beginning of 1979 and 10, the monsoon trough in the northwest Pacific and South China Sea was quite wide and active. There are three disturbances in the trough, namely typhoon Sarah, tropical storm Roger and typhoon Tip. Typhoon Sarah affected the South China Sea and moved westward, with the highest wind at its center reaching 205 kilometers per hour. However, tropical storm Roger interacted with Taipei more, affecting the northwest Pacific ocean east of east longitude 135 degrees, and the maximum wind force at its center reached 85 kilometers per hour.

Tropical storm Roger moved to the mid-latitude area on June 6 10, and its impact on Taipei was relatively reduced, so Taipei gradually strengthened. On June 6 10, it became a tropical storm, on the afternoon of June 9 10, it further strengthened into a typhoon, and from June 9 to June 10. The air pressure in the center of Taipei dropped by 98 hectopascals1October 65438+1October 65438+1October 065438+1October 0, and Taipei was further strengthened. It was assessed as a super typhoon by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, and the central wind force was assessed as 240 kilometers per hour.

The strengthening of Typhoon Taipei did not stop, reaching the peak of 12 at 5438+00 in June. During an airplane observation on June 5th 1 12, the lowest sea level pressure recorded in joint typhoon warning center was 870 hPa, which was 65,438% lower than the normal sea level pressure.

On June 5438+1October 12, Taipei began to weaken slowly, and the intensity of its super typhoon (240 km/h) lasted for 54 hours. 65438+1October13rd was downgraded to a first-class typhoon by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. On June+10/October14th, 65438, with its weakening, the internal force of Taipei decreased. On June 65438+1October 15, Taipei moved northwest, and on June 16, it moved north-northwest again, and on June 17.

10 6 19, Taipei entered the westerlies, and was guided by the subtropical ridge, sweeping Japan with a central wind force close to 70km/h and a lower limit of typhoon wind force (130km/h). The maximum instantaneous wind speed is 50m/s in Guanshan City, Chiba Prefecture and 38.2m/s in Tokyo. On the same day, it landed near Feng Jingen and Shirahama-CHO, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, then crossed Honshu, Japan, and landed again near Kushiro, Hokkaido, Japan. 10 year 10 On October 20th, Taipei weakened into a strong tropical storm and turned into an extratropical cyclone the next day.

Although the intensity of Typhoon Taipei was greatly weakened before landing, it still caused 1 10 deaths, 5 people missing, 543 people injured, 139 houses collapsed, 1287 houses were damaged, 254,565,438 hectares of cultivated land were damaged, and 65,438 ships were injured, resulting in,

Disaster situation:

1 10 people died, 5 people were missing and 543 people were injured.

65,438+039 houses collapsed and another 65,438+0,287 houses were damaged.

There are 8 157 buildings under the bed and 47943 buildings under the bed.

Cultivated land was affected by 2545 1 hectare.

19 Ship injured.

After reaching the top speed, Taipei gradually weakened and approached the coast of Japan. A large amount of uninterrupted precipitation has caused many landslides and mudslides in Honshu Island. In the end, Taipei weakened into a weak storm and landed in Japan on 10/9, but the loss was not small. Taipeiyi * * * caused 1 10 deaths and caused millions of dollars in heavy losses to Japanese agriculture and fisheries.
