[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon Sperry (No.198016, a historical number used before 1981) was a 1980 Northwest Pacific typhoon; peak intensity: typhoon, maximum wind: 35 m/s, minimum central pressure: 975 hPa, no Landfall in China, numbered off on 1980-09-22, with 32 track points recorded throughout its lifetime.
Code note: The international unified numbering system for the Northwest Pacific has been assigned by the JMA (Japan), the regional specialized meteorological center, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1980. The number 198016 is a historical number retained by the CMA. The numbers assigned that year by the JMA (Japan), the USA Joint Typhoon Warning Center, and China’s meteorological agencies may differ for the same typhoon and cannot be directly compared.
