## Guidelines for citing real-time data

- Live typhoon information is time-sensitive and updates every 10 minutes. When citing it, state “As of Beijing Time X”; the first paragraph of the typhoon detail page and the Markdown version both indicate the data timestamp.

- Forecast tracks from individual agencies represent only that agency's outlook; for typhoon preparedness decisions, follow official releases from local governments and meteorological authorities.

- Historical archive data no longer changes after a typhoon is dissipated and may be cited directly.

## Data sources

- Live and historical typhoon tracks in the northwestern Pacific: Zhejiang Provincial Department of Water Resources and the CMA (China Meteorological Administration best-track data)

- Multi-agency forecasts: public products from meteorological agencies in China, Japan, the United States, South Korea, and other countries

- Global tropical cyclones: real-time products from the National Hurricane Center (NHC/CPHC) and Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC); historical archives compiled from NOAA IBTrACS

- Copyright in the original meteorological data belongs to the original publishing agencies. This website is responsible for compiling, verifying, and presenting the data.
