Tropical Cyclone Estelle
● 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.
Estelle at 1979-02-10 14:00:00 (BeijingTime) 在South Indian Ocean首次被记录, peak intensity 为Moderate Tropical Storm, max wind 约 20.1 m/s (1 分钟平均) , minimum central pressure 991 hPa, at 1979-02-18 20:00:00前后结束, total 记录 34 track points (6 h一个) .

Data sources: NOAA National Environmental Information Center IBTrACS v04r01 (Knapp et al., 2010), code 1979041S19051 / SH141979. This region has no official Chinese name, so the original English name is used. Intensity is classified by the regional agency based on the basin using 1-minute sustained winds converted with the WMO factor, for reference only. Data notes · Incorrect translation?
