[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon TRIX (No.195704, the historical number used before 1981) was a 1957 Northwest Pacific typhoon. It peaked as a super typhoon, with maximum winds of 65 m/s and a minimum central pressure of 948 hPa. It did not make landfall in China, was last numbered on May 16, 1957, and has 58 recorded track points.
Numbering note: International numbering in the Northwest Pacific has been assigned by the JMA in Japan, the regional specialized meteorological center for East Asia, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1957. The 195704 designation is a historical number retained by the CMA, and the JMA, 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 the designations cannot be directly matched.

FAQ
Which numbered typhoon of 1957 was Typhoon TRIX?
The 195704 designation for Typhoon TRIX is the historical number retained by the CMA (the fourth typhoon of 1957), while its international name was TRIX.

Before then, agencies including the JMA, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in the United States, and China’s meteorological authorities used different numbers for the same typhoon, so the designations cannot be directly matched.
Where does the track data for Typhoon TRIX come from?
Path. Data sources: China Meteorological Administration Tropical Cyclone Best Track Dataset (CMA-STI); wind speed refers to 2-min sustained wind speed. Track points at intermediate times are encrypted based on original operational positioning data, while wind speed and pressure are interpolated using best-track anchor points.
