Tropical Cyclone Crystal
● 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).
Crystal at 2002-12-22 02:00:00 (BeijingTime) 在South Indian Ocean首次被记录, peak intensity 为Tropical Cyclone , max wind 约 46.3 m/s (1 分钟平均) , minimum central pressure 955 hPa, at 2003-01-03 08:00:00前后结束, total 记录 50 track points (6 h一个) .

There is no official Chinese name for this basin, so the original English name is used. Intensity categories follow the local agency classification for the basin, converted from 1-minute sustained wind using the WMO factor, for reference only. Data notes · Incorrect translation?
