This system did not exist in 1960. The number 196008 is a historical identifier used by the CMA. JMA (Japan), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in the USA, and China’s meteorological agencies may have assigned different numbers to the same typhoon that year, so the numbers cannot be directly compared.
Track data sources: China Meteorological Administration Tropical Cyclone Best Track Dataset (CMA-STI); wind speeds are 2-minute sustained wind speeds.
