Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Bess (196308) 的生命史长达15天, 整体路径呈现典型的“NW行后转 toward NE”的抛物线形态. formed初期 (7月27日至29日) , 系统在Philippines以E洋面缓慢 toward NW, The latitude从12.2°N升至17.3°N, During在142°E-143°E之间小幅摆动, 显示其受副热带高压引导气流影响较为稳定. 7月31日至8月1日期间, 路径出现短暂W折及S落迹象, 随后 at 8月初确立稳定的WNWMovingTrend.

The critical turn toward process occurred in the late early August. August 5 system position at 21.8°N, 136.7°E stillined NW toward Moving, but by August 6 moved to 25.6°N near, Moving direction gradually turned to N. August 7th, with the latitude rapidly increased to 27.9°N above, the path clearly toward E curved, Go to accelerated turn toward phase. August 8th to 11th, Typhoon center along Japan with S ocean toward NE direction rapid Moving, finally weakened at 37.9°N, 133.5°E.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

Bess的Intensity演变经历了漫长的增强期与迅速的衰减期. 系统初生时为Nameless, 经过约一周的缓慢加强, at 8月1日升级为Tropical Storm. 随后Go to 快速增强通道, 8月3日即达到Super Typhoon级别 (53m/s) , 并 at 8月5日达到peak intensity, max wind 高达66m/s. 值得注意的是, 在8月5日至8月8日期间, 尽管The latitude不断升高, 该系统仍维持Super Typhoon等级长达三天以上, 显示出极强的结构稳定性. 8月10日后, 受高纬度环境因素影响, intensity 急剧下降, 短短两天内由Super Typhoon weakened into Nameless.

In 1996, Bess was only at Severe Typhoon level, in 1978 even at Tropical StormIntensity, and only in 1982 Bess was at Super Typhoon.
