Data sources: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information IBTrACS v04r01 (Knapp et al., 2010), code 2003068S14172 / SH252003. No official Chinese name is available for this basin, so the original English name is used. Intensity is classified by the local agency in the region, based on 1-minute sustained wind converted using the WMO factor, for reference only. Data notes · Incorrect translation?
