Tropical Cyclone Zaka
● Data reliability: ReliableWeather satellites monitored it throughout, so its track and intensity are relatively accurate (Atlantic and E. Pacific since 1966, other basins since 1980).
Zaka at 1996-03-09 14:00:00 (BeijingTime) 在South Pacific首次被记录, peak intensity 为Category 1 Tropical Cyclone , max wind 约 20.6 m/s (1 分钟平均) , minimum central pressure 995 hPa, at 1996-03-11 20:00:00前后结束, total 记录 10 track points (6 h一个) .

Data sources: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information IBTrACS v04r01 (Knapp et al., 2010), code 1996069S21166 / SH201996. This basin has no official Chinese name, so it is displayed in its original English name. Intensity follows the local agency classification for the basin (converted from 1-minute sustained wind using WMO coefficients), for reference only. Data notes · Incorrect translation?
