Notes
  • "1-minute maximum sustained winds of 130 km/h (80 mph).[1] The JMA indicates that Dan peaked slightly afterward, with 10-minute sustained winds of 140 km/h (85 mph)" - isn't the 1-minute maximum sustained wind supposed to be higher than the 10-minute sustained wind? Which number at [1] records this wind measurement?
  • "89101212 002 5 168 1113 960 075 90090 0090 90300 0300"075 = 75 knots = 85 mph, and the JMA uses 10-minute winds by default. In theory, 1-minute winds should be greater than 10-minute winds, but since they're recorded by different agencies, they don't always coincide. –Juliancolton | Talk 02:00, 30 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • Ref 3 = National Disaster Coordinating Council. - does National refer to the Philippines? Perhaps the |location= parameter would be appropriate here.
