This system did not exist in 1978. The number 197818 is the historical number retained by the CMA. The JMA in Japan, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in the United States, and Chinese meteorological authorities may have assigned different numbers to the same typhoon that year, so these numbers cannot be compared directly.
