Tropical Cyclone Paula
● 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.
Paula at 1973-03-26 02:00:00 (BeijingTime) 在South Indian Ocean首次被记录, peak intensity 为Category 1 Tropical Cyclone , max wind 约 19.5 m/s (1 分钟平均) , minimum central pressure 997 hPa, at 1973-04-01 14:00:00前后结束, total 记录 27 track points (6 h一个) .

There is no official Chinese name for this system, so the original English name is used. Intensity categories follow the classifications of the relevant regional agency, converted from 1-minute sustained winds using the WMO factor, and are for reference only.
