Code note: The internationally standardized codes for the Northwest Pacific have been assigned by the JMA (Japan), a regional specialized meteorological center, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1945. 194508 is the historical number continued by the CMA, and the numbers used that year by the JMA (Japan), the joint typhoon warning center of the USA, and China’s meteorological authorities for the same typhoon may differ, so they cannot be directly compared.
Track data source: USA Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) best-track data. China Meteorological Administration best-track dataset begins in 1949 and does not include this typhoon. JTWC wind speeds are 1-min sustained wind speeds, generally about 10% higher than the 2-min sustained wind speeds used in China.
