[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon CLARA (No.195038, the historical numbering used before 1981) was a 1950 Northwest Pacific typhoon. It peaked as a super typhoon, with maximum winds of 65m/s and a minimum central pressure of 940hPa. It did not make landfall in China and was decommissioned on 1950-11-16, with 60 track points recorded throughout its lifetime.
Numbering note: The unified international numbering system for the Northwest Pacific has been assigned by JMA (Japan), the Ejing Regional Specialized Meteorological Center, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1950. The designation 195038 is a historical number retained by the CMA. JMA (Japan), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in the USA, and meteorological authorities in China may have assigned different numbers to the same typhoon that year, so the numbers cannot be compared directly.
Track data sources: China Meteorological Administration Tropical Cyclone Best Track Dataset (CMA-STI); wind speeds are 2-minute sustained wind speeds.
