Tropical Cyclone Laurie
● 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 1976346S11182. There is no official Chinese name for this storm, so the original English name is used. Intensity categories follow the classifications of the local agency in the relevant sea area, converted from 1-minute sustained winds using the WMO factor, for reference only.
