FAQ
Typhoon 16 was the 1974 Typhoon.
The number 197416 for Typhoon No. 16 is the historical number retained by the CMA, meaning the 16th typhoon of 1974. International standardized codes for the Northwest Pacific were introduced only in 1981. Before then, each agency maintained its own numbering system, so JMA (Japan), the USA Joint Typhoon Warning Center, and China’s meteorological authorities may have assigned different numbers to the same typhoon, making direct comparison impossible.
Where does the track data for Typhoon No. 16 come from?
Path. Data sources: China Meteorological Administration Tropical Cyclone Best Track Dataset (CMA-STI); wind speed refers to 2-min sustained wind speed. Track points at intermediate times are encrypted based on original operational positioning data, while wind speed and pressure are interpolated using best-track anchor points.
What is the highest level of Typhoon 16?
Typhoon No. 16 reached peak intensity as a severe tropical storm, with maximum winds of 30 m/s and a minimum central pressure of 980 hPa.
Is the Typhoon 16 landfall?
According to records, the Typhoon 16 was not in our coastal landfall.
