Numbering note: The internationally standardized identifiers for the Northwest Pacific have been assigned by the JMA (Japan), the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center for East Asia, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1962. The identifier 196221 is the historical number used by the CMA. The numbers assigned that year by the JMA (Japan), the USA Joint Typhoon Warning Center, and Chinese meteorological authorities to the same typhoon may differ and 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.
