[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon LIBBY (No.194817, a historical number used before 1981) was a 1948 Northwest Pacific typhoon; peak intensity: super typhoon, maximum wind: 64 m/s, minimum central pressure: -hPa, did not make landfall in China, was de-numbered on 1948-10-07, and has 32 recorded track points throughout its duration.
Code explanation: The unified international numbering system for the Northwest Pacific has been assigned by the JMA in Japan, a regional specialized meteorological center for East Asia, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1948. 194817 is the historical number retained by the CMA, while the numbers assigned to the same typhoon that year by the JMA in Japan, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in the United States, and China's meteorological authorities 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.
