[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon Elaine (No.196016, the historical numbering used before 1981) was a 1960 Northwest Pacific typhoon; peak intensity: typhoon, maximum wind speed 40m/s, minimum central pressure 975hPa, no landfall in China, de-numbered on 1960-08-27, with 37 track points recorded throughout its lifecycle.
Numbering note: International identifiers for Northwest Pacific typhoons have been assigned by the JMA (Japan), the designated regional specialized meteorological center for East Asia, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1960, when the JMA (Japan), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (USA), and Chinese meteorological agencies may have assigned different identifiers to the same typhoon, which therefore 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.
