Tropical Cyclone Helios
● 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.
Helios at 1979-03-23 14:00:00 (BeijingTime) 在South Indian Ocean首次被记录, peak intensity 为Tropical Disturbance, max wind 约 15.4 m/s (1 分钟平均) , minimum central pressure 997 hPa, at 1979-03-31 14:00:00前后结束, total 记录 33 track points (6 h一个) .

Data sources: NOAA National Environmental Information Center IBTrACS v04r01 (Knapp et al., 2010); code 1979082S10054 / SH211979. No official Chinese name is available for this basin, so the original English name is used. Intensity is classified by the relevant local agency in the basin, converted from 1-minute sustained winds using the WMO factor, for reference only. Data notes · Incorrect translation?
