Where does the track data for Typhoon Olive 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 Olive?
Typhoon Olive peak intensity is Severe Typhoon, max wind 45m/s, minimum central pressure 955 hPa.
