[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon GWEN (No.194707, the historical numbering used before 1981) was a 1947 Northwest Pacific typhoon; its peak intensity was Super Typhoon, with maximum winds of 51m/s and a minimum central pressure of -hPa. It did not make landfall in China. Its advisory was discontinued on 1947-08-09, and 21 track points were recorded throughout its lifetime.
Numbering note: International uniform numbering in the Northwest Pacific has been assigned by JMA (Japan), the RSMC for the East Asia region, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1947. 194707 is the historical numbering retained by the CMA, and the numbers assigned that year by JMA (Japan), the USA Joint Typhoon Warning Center, and China's meteorological authorities may differ and 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.

FAQ
Which numbered typhoon of 1947 was Typhoon GWEN?
Typhoon GWEN's 194707 is the historical numbering retained by the CMA (No. 7 of 1947). Its international name is GWEN. International uniform numbering in the Northwest Pacific did not begin until 1981. Before then, each agency used its own numbering system, so the numbers assigned by JMA (Japan), the USA Joint Typhoon Warning Center, and China's meteorological authorities may differ and cannot be directly compared.
Where does Typhoon GWEN's track data come from?
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.
What was the maximum intensity reached by Typhoon GWEN?
Typhoon GWEN peak intensity is Super Typhoon, max wind 51m/s, minimum central pressure - hPa.
Did Typhoon GWEN make landfall?
According to historical records, Typhoon GWEN did not make landfall along China's coast.
