[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon Sally (No.197221, a historical number used before 1981) was a 1972 Northwest Pacific typhoon; it peaked as a severe typhoon with maximum winds of 45m/s and a minimum central pressure of 984hPa. It did not make landfall in China, was numbered off on 1972-12-07, and had 30 recorded track points throughout its duration.
Numbering explanation: International numbers for the Northwest Pacific have been assigned by the JMA (Japan), the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center in Tokyo, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1972. The number 197221 is the historical number retained by the CMA. The JMA (Japan), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (USA), and China’s meteorological authorities may have assigned different numbers to the same typhoon that year, so they 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.
