[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon 9 (No.194709, the historical numbering system 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. It was numbered off on 1947-08-31, with 21 track points recorded throughout its lifetime.
Code explanation: The international unified code for the Northwest Pacific has been assigned by JMA (Japan), the Tokyo Regional Professional Meteorological Center, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1947. The code 194709 is the historical number continued by CMA. JMA (Japan), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in the USA, and Chinese meteorological authorities may have assigned different numbers to the same typhoon that year, 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.

Before then, each agency used its own numbering system, so the numbers assigned by JMA (Japan), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in the USA, and Chinese meteorological authorities to the same typhoon may differ and cannot be directly compared.
Where does the track data for Typhoon No. 9 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 is the highest level of Typhoon 9?
Typhoon 9 peak intensity is Super Typhoon, max wind 51m/s, minimum central pressure - hPa.
Is the Typhoon 9 landfall?
