GLOBAL TROPICAL CYCLONE TRACKS - SEPTEMBER 2001
!!!! IMPORTANT -- PLEASE SEE NOTE AT END OF FILE !!!!
*************************************************************************
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.
Tracking information for the extratropical portions of some
of the cyclones was obtained from the High Seas Warnings
issued by the Marine Prediction Center in Washington, DC.
A track is included for another tropical LOW for which
advisories were not issued. This track was sent to me by
Roger Edson, who felt that since the system moved westward
ahead of TD-07 (pre-Felix) and was eventually absorbed into
that system, it should be documented. TPC/NHC treated the
first system as a tropical wave but did indicate in the
Tropical Weather Discussions that it was accompanied by a
broad circulation.

Note: All the information in the track above was sent to me by Roger
Edson of the University of Guam. This system moved westward ahead of
Tropical Depression 07 (pre-Felix) and was eventually absorbed into the
circulation of TD-07. No advisories were issued by NHC--it was treated
as a tropical wave, although some of the Tropical Weather Discussions
did indicate that a broad circulation was associated with the wave.

NORTHEAST PACIFIC (NEP) - North Pacific Ocean East of Longitude 180
NOTE: The tracking and intensity information for Northeast Pacific
Basin tropical cyclones is based upon operational advisories
from the Tropical Prediction Center/National Hurricane Center
in Miami, Florida, for systems east of Longitude 140W; and
from the Central Pacific Hurricane Center, Honolulu, Hawaii,
for systems west of Longitude 140W. 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.

NORTHWEST PACIFIC (NWP) - North Pacific Ocean West of Longitude 180
NOTE: The tracking information for Northwest Pacific Basin tropical
cyclones is based primarily upon operational warnings from the
Joint Typhoon Warning Center of the U.S. Air Force and Navy at
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Comparisons were made with track
coordinates given in advisories from the meteorological services
of Japan (JMA) and the Philippines (PAGASA). In general, whenever
the center position differed by more than 40-50 nm from JTWC's, an
entry was made in the Remarks column.
Michael V. Padua, owner of the Typhoon 2000 webpage, sent me the
PAGASA tracks for Typhoons Nari/Kiko and Lekima/Labuyo, and also
the JMA tracks for all the named cyclones. Huang Chunliang of
Fuzhou City, China, sent me the tracks from the National
Meteorological Center of China (NMCC) and the Hong Kong
Observatory (HKO). For Typhoons Nari and Lekima, Chunliang also
sent me the tracks based upon warnings from the Central Weather
Bureau of Taiwan (CWBT).
JMA treated two systems as tropical depressions for which JTWC did
not issue any warnings. (One of these was also regarded as a
tropical depression by NMCC and CWBT, although no formal warnings
were issued.) Roger Edson, of the University of Guam, sent me
tracks for these two depressions. Since the two systems were
operating simultaneously, I have designated them with the Greek
letters "Rho" and "Sigma" to identify them. A special thanks to
Michael, Chunliang, and Roger for the tracks and information they
provided.
The 1-min avg MSW were taken from the JTWC advisories while the
10-min avg MSW and central pressure estimates were obtained from
JMA's advisories. The 10-min MSW estimates from the other centers
follow the main track in a separate table. Tracking information
for the extratropical portions of certain cyclones was obtained
from the High Seas Warning and Summary bulletins issued by JMA.

Note: The track presented above is a sort of merging of the track
provided by Roger Edson (RE) and the information obtained from JMA's
bulletins. Except for two brief periods when JMA elevated the depression
to warning status (30-kt winds), the coordinates from JMA were rounded to
the nearest whole degree. Roger's positions were rounded to the nearest
half degree but were only supplied at 12-hourly intervals. Some of the
"jumpiness" in the latitudes is a result of this rounding.

Note: A comparison of center position estimates for Typhoon Nari between
the various warning agencies presents a dichotomy. During much of the
cyclone's lifespan, especially when it was well-defined and within range
of radars on Okinawa and Taiwan, the coordinates from the several TCWCs
were in excellent agreement. However, after Nari had moved inland over
Taiwan, weakened and become diffuse, there was a great divergence in the
coordinates between JTWC, JMA, and NMCC. Some of the more significant
disagreements are noted above in the Remarks column. The maximum 10-min
avg wind estimates from NMCC, PAGASA, HKO and CWBT are tabulated below
for the periods in which the respective warning centers were issuing
warnings:

the one sent to me by Roger Edson. JMA reported coordinates to the
nearest tenth degree only on 9 September when they elevated the system
to 30 kts and included it in the Warning portion of the High Seas
bulletins; the remainder of the time the positions were rounded to the
nearest whole degree. Roger's coordinates were rounded to the nearest
half degree but were only supplied at 12-hourly intervals.

Note: Based on JTWC's coordinates, the weakening storm made a loop over
northern Taiwan from 28/0000 through 29/0000 UTC. As was the case with
Typhoon Nari, the storm center coordinates given in the warnings by the
various warning agencies were in very good agreement up until the time
of landfall in Taiwan. After that, however, while the storm was
weakening and meandering over and near the island, the center positions
diverged considerably. The maximum 10-min avg winds reported by NMCC,
PAGASA, HKO and CWBT are tabulated below:

NORTH INDIAN OCEAN (NIO) - Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea
NOTE: The tracking and intensity information for North Indian Ocean
Basin tropical cyclones is based upon operational warnings from
the Joint Typhoon Warning Center of the U.S. Air Force and Navy
at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. 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. Some information was
also obtained from the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD).
In a brief note, Roger Edson mentioned that there were two
additional systems in the North Indian Ocean during September
which he considers to have been tropical depressions. One was
a weak system (20-25 kts) which moved westward in the Arabian Sea
from 22-24 September and weakened. The other was a weak
depression (25-30 kts) in the northern Bay of Bengal on
28-30 September which moved into India around 17N on the 30th.
No tracks are available for these systems.

!!!!!! IMPORTANT NOTE - PLEASE READ !!!!!!
It has been brought to my attention that I should repeat in the
cyclone tracks file the caveat which is included in the Author's
Note at the end of the cyclone summaries. The tropical cyclone
tracks which I prepare are based upon the operational warnings/
advisories/advices/bulletins from the various tropical cyclone
warning agencies around the world. Users of these tracks should
be aware that they are preliminary and subject to revision during
post-seasonal analyses of the cyclones by the forecasters and
analysts at the several warning centers.
For the Atlantic and Northeast Pacific basins, official tropical
cyclone reports and "best tracks" can be found at the website of
the Tropical Prediction Center/National Hurricane Center:
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov>
The Joint Typhoon Warning Center's website contains links to their
Annual Tropical Cyclone Reports (ATCR) which include that agency's
"best tracks" for tropical cyclones in the Northwest Pacific basin,
the North Indian Ocean, and the Southern Hemisphere:
http://199.10.200.33/jtwc.html>
For the actual Best Tracks files, click on the link for Best Tracks
(in the menu on the left side of the screen) and follow instructions.
In the ATCR for 2000, the Chapter 5 tab contains verification
statistics of JTWC warnings for all the 2000 tropical cyclones in the
Northwest Pacific, North Indian Ocean, and the Southern Hemisphere.
There are gaps in the Best Tracks presented here for certain cyclones
during periods in which no warnings were being issued.
