[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon ALICE (No.194718, the pre-1981 historical number) was a 1947 Northwest Pacific typhoon. It peaked as a super typhoon, with maximum winds of 61 m/s and a minimum central pressure of -hPa. It did not make landfall in China. The final advisory was issued on 1947-10-21, with 34 track points recorded throughout its lifetime.
Identifier notes: The internationally unified numbering system for the Northwest Pacific has been used by the JMA in Japan, the designated regional specialized meteorological center for East Asia, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1947. The number 194718 is a historical number retained by the CMA. The JMA in Japan, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in the United States, and China's meteorological authorities may have assigned different numbers to the same typhoon that year, so these numbers 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.

The internationally unified numbering system for the Northwest Pacific did not begin until 1981. Before then, agencies such as the JMA in Japan, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in the United States, and China's meteorological authorities used different numbers for the same typhoon, so the numbers cannot be directly compared.
Where does the track data for Typhoon ALICE 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 peak intensity of Typhoon ALICE?
