Tropical Cyclone Norah
● 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.

Data sources: NOAA National Environmental Information Center IBTrACS v04r01 (Knapp et al., 2010), code 1974301S08105. There is no official Chinese name for this storm, so the original English name is used. Intensity categories follow the local agency classification for the basin, converted from 1-minute sustained winds using the WMO factor, and are for reference only. Data notes · Incorrect translation?
