GLOBAL TROPICAL CYCLONE TRACKS - OCTOBER, 1997
ATLANTIC (ATL) - North Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico
NOTE: The tracking and intensity information for Atlantic Basin
tropical cyclones is based upon operational advisories from
the Tropical Prediction Center/National Hurricane Center,
located in Miami, Florida, USA. The MSW are based on a
1-min averaging period, which is used by all U.S. civilian
and military weather services for tropical cyclone warnings.

NOTE: The tracking and intensity information for Southwest Pacific
Basin tropical cyclones is largely based on the official
warnings issued by the Fiji (north of 25S) and New Zealand (south
of 25S) Meteorological Services. The MSW from these agencies
are based on a 10-min averaging period, as recommended by the
World Meteorological Organization. See comments following each

Comments: This track is the operational track based on warnings by the
Fiji Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre. This was sent to me by
Mark Kersemakers of the Fiji Meteorological Service. Positions
from JTWC's warnings compared very closely except the one
noted above. The MSW in the table above are based on a 10-min
averaging period. To convert these to equivalent 1-min avg
winds multiply by 1.15. (The 45 kts given by Guam at 0600 UTC
on 12 Oct is a 1-min avg wind.) The maximum intensity
reported by Guam was 55 kts (1-min avg) at 0600 UTC and
1800 UTC, 10 Oct.

Comments: This track is a preliminary "best track" based on an analysis
by the Fiji Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre. This was sent to
me by Mark Kersemakers of the Fiji Meteorological Service.
The MSW in the table above are based on a 10-min averaging
period. To convert these to equivalent 1-min avg winds,
multiply by 1.15.
NPMOC = Naval Pacific Meteorology and Oceanography Center,
located at Pearl Harbor, on the island of Oahu,
Hawaii.
