Code note: The internationally unified numbering system for the Northwest Pacific was introduced by JMA (Japan), the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center for East Asia, in 1981. This system did not exist in 1978. The number 197823 is the historical identifier retained by the CMA, and JMA (Japan), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, and Chinese meteorological authorities may have assigned different numbers to the same typhoon that year, so the numbers cannot be compared directly.
