From the space trajectory, the Typhoon overall presented a stable W toward MovingTrend, accompanied by a slight S-pressure fraction. In the initial phase, the system position at S-Sea NE area (19.7°N, 117.4°E) , followed by toward W through the central Vietnam Sea.

Go to 9月3日后, 路径出现明显的 toward S转折特征. 坐标从19.2°N迅速S落至9月5日的16.3°N, During继续W进至107.5°E附近. 这种“WS”的Moving路径表明引导气流可能发生了调整, 促使Typhoon toward 更低The latitude海域Moving. 最终, 系统在Vietnam以E海域 (16.2°N, 107.2°E) 减弱消散, 整个路径平滑, 无剧烈回旋或停滞现象.

In terms of intensity changes, Bess underwent a typical “formed-enhanced-top-weakened” process. Initially nameless, wind speed15m/s; September 1 intensified into Tropical Storm, wind speed increased to 20-23m/s andined about two days. From September 3 Go to rapid enhancement period, by Severe Tropical Storm (25-28m/s) evolved to Typhoon level. September 4 at 06 at peak intensity, max wind recorded 33m/s, and in subsequent 12hined the Intensity.

In contrast, in 1982 Bess reached Super Typhoon level, in 1996 and 1979 Bess was Severe Typhoon level, and in 1978 Bess only reached Tropical StormIntensity.
