Tropical Cyclone Kerry
● 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.

Data sources: NOAA National Environmental Information Center IBTrACS v04r01 (Knapp et al., 2010), code 1979042S05170 / SH131979. There is no official Chinese name for this system, so the original English name is used. Intensity is classified by the local agency for the basin, converted from 1-minute sustained winds using the WMO factor, and is for reference only. Data notes · Incorrect translation?
