[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon 23 (No.196023, the historical numbering system used before 1981) was a 1960 Northwest Pacific typhoon. It peaked as a severe tropical storm, with maximum winds of 25 m/s and a minimum central pressure of 992 hPa. It did not make landfall in China and was designated as dissipated on 1960-10-02. Its full lifecycle includes 14 recorded track points.
Code explanation: The internationally standardized typhoon codes for the Northwest Pacific have been assigned by JMA (Japan), the E-region specialized meteorological center, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1960, and 196023 is the historical identifier retained by the CMA. The identifiers assigned that year by JMA (Japan), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center of the USA, and China’s meteorological authorities may differ for the same typhoon and cannot be compared directly.
Track data sources: China Meteorological Administration Tropical Cyclone Best Track Dataset (CMA-STI); wind speeds are 2-minute sustained wind speeds.
