Introduction to the characteristics of Typhoon Samba
At 14:00 on October 18, 2023, Typhoon No. 16 Samba was generated in the South China Sea with tropical storm intensity. Judging from the satellite cloud images, convection is developing vigorously in the north of Typhoon Samba, and the circulation cloud system is integrating. Generally speaking, typhoons generated in the South China Sea are characterized by small size and weak intensity, while Typhoon Samba has a relatively large cloud system.
According to the analysis of China Weather Network, typhoons native to the South China Sea, commonly known as earth typhoons, are changeable and difficult to predict. The time from generation to landfall is often very short. Earth typhoons develop rapidly, often in Hainan, It is formed on the land edge of Guangdong, and it may land within a day or even a few hours after being generated, which makes the typhoon prevention work more difficult. The intensity and scale of soil typhoons are smaller and weaker than those in the western Pacific. Most of them do not have typical structures. The cloud structure is also asymmetrical, the scope is small, and the boundaries of the eye area are unclear.
It has the characteristics of weak strength, loose structure, close to the shore, complex paths, and prominent rain disasters. This is the case for Sanba. Although the path is strange, it is actually normal. Compared with previous typhoons that have affected Hainan, it is generally weaker. There is no obvious typhoon eye, and the cloud system is scattered. In addition, the overall intensity is not strong and gradually weakens. trend, so the impact on Hainan is limited.
