Data sources: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information IBTrACS v04r01 (Knapp et al., 2010), code 1978247N12321 / AL131978. The basin has no official Chinese name, so the original English name is used. Intensity is classified by the local agency in the basin and converted from 1-minute sustained winds using the WMO factor, for reference only. Data notes · Incorrect translation?
