Tropical Cyclone Alby
● 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.
Alby at 1978-03-27 08:00:00 (BeijingTime) 在South Indian Ocean首次被记录, peak intensity 为Category 4 tropical cyclone , max wind 约 59.2 m/s (1 分钟平均) , at 1978-04-05 08:00:00前后结束, total 记录 37 track points (6 h一个) .
