The final best-track value for Typhoon 16 differs from the live value. The live value is the operational positioning data issued during the typhoon's lifetime. After Typhoon 16 ended, the China Meteorological Administration recompiled the storm using more complete observations to produce best-track data, which is generally used for academic research and historical rankings. Data sources: China Meteorological Administration Tropical Cyclone Best Track Dataset, compiled through IBTrACS v04r01. Wind speed was converted from knots to m/s and rounded.
