Typhoon Sam (199908) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific洋面, 整体路径呈现稳定的NW toward MovingTrend, 未出现明显的转 toward 或回旋现象. formed初期 (8月17日18时) , 系统位 at 11°N, 128.3°E附近, 随后持续 toward NW direction推进. 在8月18日至19日期间, Typhoon 中心The latitude从11.4°N迅速N抬至17°N, During则由128.9°EW移至124.7°E, 显示出较强的 toward W分量. Go to 8月20日后, Moving路径逐渐转为更N的 direction, 纬度由18.4°N升至21.8°N, 而经度继续W进至115°E. 直至消散前 (8月23日06时) , 系统最终到达24°N, 112.6°E. 全生命周期内, 该Typhoon 始终保持NW行进路线, 穿Vietnam海N部海域, 全程无Landfall记录, 最终在接近China大陆coastal 但未上岸的情况下减弱消散.

Evolution of intensity and peak state

Sam的Intensity演变经历了典型的“ formed-加强-巅峰-减弱”过程. 初始阶段为Nameless, wind speed仅为7m/s. 经过约36h的缓慢增强, at 8月19日12时升级为Tropical Storm (20m/s) . 随后Go to 快速增强期, 8月20日00时达到Severe Tropical Storm级别 (25m/s) , 并维持该Intensity约30h. 8月21日06时, 系统进一步发展为Typhoon , max wind 达到33m/s. 巅峰状态出现在8月22日06时, 此时中心位 at 22.1°N, 114.6°E, max wind 增至38m/s. 值得注意的是, 巅峰维持Time较短, 仅6h后wind speed即回落至33m/s. 8月22日18时起, 系统迅速 weakened into Tropical Storm (20m/s) , 并 at 次日凌晨降级为Nameless, 最终在8月23日06时以12m/s的wind speed结束生命史. 相较 at 其他同名Typhoon , 本次Sam虽达到Typhoon 级Intensity, 但巅峰wind speed38m/s属 at 中等IntensityTyphoon 范畴, 且由 at 未Landfall, 其破坏力主要局限 at 海上风浪影响.
