[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon Tess (No.196611, a historical numbering sequence used before 1981) was a 1966 Northwest Pacific typhoon. It peaked as a severe typhoon, with maximum winds of 45 m/s and a minimum central pressure of 973 hPa. It did not make landfall in China and was numbered off on August 19, 1966, with 34 track points recorded throughout its lifespan.
Code explanation: International unified numbering for the Northwest Pacific has been assigned since 1981 by JMA (Japan), the Tokyo Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre. This system did not exist in 1966. The identifier 196611 is the historical number retained by the CMA. In 1966, agencies such as JMA (Japan), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in the United States, and Chinese meteorological authorities may have assigned different numbers to the same typhoon, so these identifiers 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.
