Data sources: NOAA National Environmental Information Center IBTrACS v04r01 (Knapp et al., 2010), code 1998335S12138 / SH061999. There is no official Chinese name for this basin, so the original English name is used. Intensity is classified by the local agency in the region and converted from 1-minute sustained winds using the WMO factor for reference only. Data notes · Incorrect translation?
