Tropical Cyclone Otto
● 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.
Otto at 1977-03-07 02:00:00 (BeijingTime) 在South Pacific首次被记录, peak intensity 为Category 2 Tropical Cyclone , max wind 约 28.3 m/s (1 分钟平均) , at 1977-03-10 08:00:00前后结束, total 记录 14 track points (6 h一个) . 曾Landfall或贴近land.

There is no official Chinese name for this region, so the original English name is used. Intensity is classified by the local agency in the basin, converted from 1-minute sustained winds using the WMO factor, for reference only. Data notes · Incorrect translation?
