[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon LANA (No. 194802, the historical number used before 1981) was a 1948 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Its peak intensity was Typhoon, with maximum winds of 41 m/s; the minimum central pressure is listed as -hPa. It did not make landfall in China and was designated dissipated on 1948-05-20. The full track contains 18 points.
Numbering note: International numbering for Northwest Pacific typhoons has been assigned by JMA (Japan), the regional specialized meteorological center for East Asia, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1948. The number 194802 is the historical identifier used by the CMA. JMA (Japan), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (USA), and China's meteorological authorities may have assigned different numbers to the same typhoon that year, so the numbers cannot be compared directly.
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.
