Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Amber (199714) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现典型的“NW行—转 toward NE”的抛物线形态. formed初期 (8月19日至21日) , 系统在14°N附近维持NamelessIntensity, Moving direction主要为WN, 速度较为缓慢. 自8月22日起, 随着Intensity增强为Typhoon , 其Moving路径逐渐稳定 toward NW direction推进, 穿越Philippines以E洋面.

After reaching peak intensity, the system was affected by the sub-tropical high-pressure edge airflow and W wind band, Moving direction from NW to NE, then accelerated toward NE. From the coordinate sequence can be seen, August 28 at 12 a.m. at 22.4°N, 122.5°E, until August 30 at 18 a.m. has moved to 31.4°N, 115.2°E, the latitude rapidly increased by about 9 degrees in two days, the length toward W backwards, showing a marked turn toward acceleration characteristic.

Intensity evolution and peak analysis

Amber的Intensity演变经历了完整的“ formed—增强—巅峰—减弱”过程, 且具有显著的二次增强特征. 8月21日升级为Tropical Storm后, intensity 持续攀升, at 8月25日首次达到Super Typhoon级别 (51m/s) . 随后在8月26日短暂 weakened into Severe Typhoon (43m/s) , 但并未就此衰退, 而是在8月27日至28日期间再次加强, 并 at 8月27日18时达到生命史巅峰, max wind 录得56m/s, 确认为Super Typhoon等级.

The peakins a shorter time, starting at noon on August 28, with the system toward NMovingGo to higher latitudes, the decrease in sea temperature and the increase in vertical wind shifts resulting in its Intensity rapid decline. From Super Typhoon (48m/s) to Nameless (15m/s) the process of weakening takes only about 36h, showing the rapid collapse of the tropical cyclical structure under the mid-high latitudes. Compared to at other homonymous or synchronous Typhoon, Amber reached an extremely high Intensity peak in the far ocean, and completed a complete Intensity cycle without Landfall, reflecting the significant support role of the open-sea favorable environment for the development of Typhoon.
