[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon KATHLEEN (No.194711, a historical number assigned before 1981) was a 1947 Northwest Pacific typhoon, peaking as a severe typhoon with maximum winds of 46m/s and a minimum central pressure of -hPa. It did not make landfall in China and was numbered off on 1947-09-15, with 22 track points recorded throughout its lifetime.
Identifier note: The unified international identifier system for the Northwest Pacific has been assigned by JMA (Japan), the regional specialized meteorological center for East Asia, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1947. The identifier 194711 is the historical number retained by the CMA, while the numbering used that year by JMA (Japan), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in the USA, and China’s meteorological authorities may differ for the same typhoon and therefore 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.
