Code explanation: In the Northwest Pacific, the international standardized codes have been assigned by JMA (Japan), the regional specialized meteorological center for East Asia, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1980. The number 198008 is the historical identifier used by CMA. JMA (Japan), the joint Typhoon Warning Center of the United States, and Chinese meteorological authorities may have assigned different numbers to the same typhoon that year, so the numbers 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.
