Track Characteristics and Moving Trends

From September 27, 08 at (20.5°N, 159.3°E) to September 30, 14 at dispersed at (40.9°N, 163°E), the Typhoon has not landfall any land, mainly in the open ocean activity. In the initial phase of September 27, the systemins Tropical Storm, the path is dominated byNNW direction, the latitude from 20.5°N rapidly rising to 22.7°N, the length of W. Go to September 28, the path is obviously turned toward, from NW toward latitude toNEward Moving, this turning point reflects the significant improvement of the system Intensity process. With the continuous latitude rise, the center of the Typhoon is continuously dispersed to the entire sea, with a weak latitude of N 40°N, with no apparent high flow of wind
