Hurricane Dot
● Data reliability: Generally reliable——Aircraft entered typhoons for in situ measurements, but satellites were not yet widespread: tracks are generally accurate, while intensities may be biased, with weaker cyclones potentially going unrecorded from 1950 until the advent of satellite coverage.
Dot at 1959-08-01 20:00:00 (BeijingTime) 在Central Pacific首次被记录, peak intensity 为Cat 4 Hurricane, max wind 约 66.9 m/s (1 分钟平均) , minimum central pressure 952 hPa, at 1959-08-08 20:00:00前后结束, total 记录 29 track points (6 h一个) . 曾Landfall或贴近land.

Data sources: NOAA National Environmental Information Center IBTrACS v04r01 (Knapp et al., 2010); code 1959214N16219 / CP011959. No official Chinese name is available for this system, so the original English name is used. Intensity is classified by the local agency in each basin, based on 1-minute sustained winds converted using the WMO factor, for reference only. Data notes · Incorrect translation?
