Evolution of intensity and peak state

From the Intensity variation, Scott has longined the weaker tropical cyclone grade. Over the ten-day history, most of its time is at Nameless or Tropical Storm level. During July 20 to 28, the max wind fluctuated only between 10m/s to 17m/s, the intensity grew slowly. Until July 29 12:00, the system reached peak intensity at 25.6°N, 156°E near, upgraded to Severe Tropical Storm, the max wind recorded 28m/s. However, this high Intensity state was not lasting, and the next day weakened into Tropical Storm (23/s) . Go to August, although the 1st August briefly returned to Tropical Storm level (20m/s), but then rapidly weakened into Nameless, and gradually dispersed into the high

Historical Comparison and Summary

As 1997's 8th Typhoon, Scott's path has typical ocean rotation features. Compared to other typhoons in history, Scott in 1997 did not have a direct impact on land, and its activity trajectory was completely limited at the ocean. Its unique S downward retreat path may be associated with the interaction of the sub-tropical high-pressure and surrounding guiding air flows. Given at its peak intensity is only Severe Tropical Storm and no landfall record, the typhoon belongs in the history of meteorological disasters at influence the smaller ocean typhoon case, its main study value at the analysis of the atypical path rotation mechanism of a sea-latitude tropical cyclone.
