Tropical Cyclone Benjamine
● 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.
Benjamine at 1979-01-03 14:00:00 (BeijingTime) 在South Indian Ocean首次被记录, peak intensity 为Tropical Cyclone , max wind 约 45.3 m/s (1 分钟平均) , minimum central pressure 941 hPa, at 1979-01-14 14:00:00前后结束, total 记录 45 track points (6 h一个) .

Data sources: NOAA National Environmental Information Center IBTrACS v04r01 (Knapp et al., 2010), code 1979003S10052 / SH071979. There is no official Chinese name for this system, so the original English name is used. Intensity is classified by the local agency in the relevant ocean basin, based on the conversion of 1-minute sustained winds using the WMO factor, for reference only.
