Tropical Cyclone Rita
● 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).
Rita at 2001-03-01 02:00:00 (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 986 hPa, at 2001-03-06 08:00:00前后结束, total 记录 22 track points (6 h一个) .

Data sources: NOAA National Center for Environmental Information IBTrACS v04r01 (Knapp et al., 2010), code 2001060S19223 / SH142001. This basin has no official Chinese name, so the original English name is used. Intensity categories follow the classifications of the local basin agency, converted from 1-minute sustained winds using the WMO factor, and are for reference only. Data notes · Incorrect translation?
