[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon Vera (No.197101, the historical numbering used before 1981) was a 1971 Northwest Pacific typhoon. It peaked as a severe typhoon, with maximum winds of 45 m/s and a minimum central pressure of 960 hPa. It did not make landfall in China, was decommissioned on 1971-04-21, and has 59 recorded track points throughout its lifespan.
Numbering note: The internationally standardized identifiers for the Northwest Pacific are assigned by the JMA in Japan, the regional specialized meteorological center for East Asia, starting in 1981. This system did not exist in 1971. The identifier 197101 is a historical number retained by the CMA, and agencies such as the JMA in Japan, 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 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.
