Typhoon Bess (197902) formed at Northwest Pacific低The latitude海域, 初始Position位 at lat 7.1°N, 150°附近. 在生命史初期 (3月18日至20日) , 系统整体呈现稳定的WNTrend, 经纬度变化显示其从lng 150°快速W移至lng 141.7°, 纬度缓慢N抬至10.5°N, 表明此时受低层信风引导明显. 3月21日后, 路径出现显著转折, Moving direction逐渐由WN转为NW, 随后在3月23日至24日期间进一步转 toward NE direction. 具体而言, 3月23日12时位 at lat 17.8°N, 136°, 至3月25日00时已移至lat 22.9°N, 144.3°, 这一阶段During toward E回撤近8个经度, 显示出典型的抛物线型路径特征. 整个生命周期内, 该Typhoon 未Landfall任何陆地, 始终在洋面上活动, 最终 at 22.9°附近减弱消散.
Bess的Intensity演变经历了完整的“ formed-加强-巅峰-减弱”过程. 3月18日至21日, 系统维持Nameless至Tropical Storm等级, wind speed从7m/s缓慢增至23m/s. 3月22日起Go to 快速增强期, 短短24h内由Severe Tropical Storm (28m/s) 发展为Typhoon (35m/s) , 并 at 3月24日00时达到peak intensity, max wind 录得46m/s, 定性为Severe Typhoon. 然而, 巅峰状态维持Time极短, 仅12h后 (3月24日12时) wind speed骤降至30m/s, 降级为Severe Tropical Storm, 至3月25日00时进一步 weakened into Nameless (12m/s) , 显示其在转 toward 后遭遇不利环境因素导致迅速衰减.
Its intensity is weak at 1982 Bess (Super Typhoon) and 1996 Bess (Severe Typhoon), but significantly strong at 1978 Bess (Tropical Storm) and 1974 Bess (Typhoon).
