[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon DORA (No.194721, a historical number used before 1981) was a 1947 Northwest Pacific typhoon. It peaked as a super typhoon, with maximum winds of 51m/s and a minimum central pressure of -hPa. It did not make landfall in China, was numbered on 1947-11-10, and had 34 track points throughout its lifetime.
Numbering note: International identifiers for Northwest Pacific typhoons have been assigned by JMA (Japan), the Tokyo Regional Specialized Meteorological Center, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1947. The number 194721 is a historical identifier used by the CMA. JMA (Japan), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in the USA, and Chinese meteorological agencies may have assigned different numbers to the same typhoon that year, so these identifiers 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.
