Numbering note: The unified international numbering system for the Northwest Pacific has been operated by the JMA (Japan), the regional specialized meteorological center for East Asia, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1947. The identifier 194712 is the historical number retained by the CMA. The numbers assigned that year by the JMA (Japan), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in the USA, and China’s meteorological agencies to the same typhoon 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.
