GLOBAL TROPICAL CYCLONE TRACKS - JUNE 2004
!!!! IMPORTANT -- PLEASE SEE NOTE AT END OF FILE !!!!
*************************************************************************
!!!!! CORRECTIONS TO APRIL AND MAY TRACKS FILES !!!!!
Huang Chunliang sent me a couple of corrections to the MSW tables
he'd compiled for earlier tropical cyclones Sudal and Omais. They
are as follows:
(1) The JMA Storm ID for "Super Typhoon 03W/SUDAL/0401/COSME" should
have been "Very Severe Typhoon 0401 (SUDAL)" rather than "Severe
Typhoon 0401 (SUDAL)".
(2) The JMA Storm ID for "Typhoon 06W/OMAIS/0403/ENTENG" should have
been "Typhoon 0403 (OMAIS)" rather than "Severe Tropical Storm
0403 (OMAIS)".

NORTHWEST PACIFIC (NWP) - North Pacific Ocean West of Longitude 180
Sources of Information
----------------------
The track coordinates and 1-minute average maximum sustained wind
values in general were taken from operational warnings issued by the
Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) of the U. S. Air Force and Navy,
located at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The central pressure and 10-minute
average maximum sustained wind estimates for most systems were obtained
from warnings issued by the Japanese Meteorological Agency (JMA), which
is the World Meteorological Organization's Regional Specialised Meteor-
ological Centre for the basin. In a few instances, information from
warnings issued by other Asian warning centers may have been utilized.
The center position coordinates from JMA and other centers were com-
pared with those from JTWC and annotations made in the Remarks column
when the differences in general amounted to 40-50 nm or more.
Michael V. Padua of Naga City in the Philippines, owner of the
Typhoon 2000 website, sends me cyclone tracks based upon warnings
issued by the Japanese Meteorological Agency and the Philippines'
Atmospheric, Geophysical & Astronomical Services Administration
(PAGASA). Also, Huang Chunliang of Fuzhou City, China, sends me
each month a table comparing the maximum intensities assigned to each
cyclone from all the applicable warning centers in the Northwest
Pacific basin. A very special thanks to Michael and Chunliang for
the assistance they so reliably provide.

Note 1: In the title line the storm grade has been adopted based on the
classification of the most "radical" TCWC. Also, all the storm names/
numbers available to me have been referenced. In addition, the starting
date points to the one when the system was initially upgraded to TD
status by whatever TCWC, while the ending date represents the one when
the storm was last classified as a tropical system by whatever TCWC.
(In this regard, NMCC was the TCWC that took the lead in upgrading 07W
to TD status on the 4th, while JTWC, JMA, NMCC and CWB all ceased their
TC warnings at 11/0600 UTC.)
Note 2 (*): The MSW is merely the "peak" value based on the limited
warnings released only when the storm was travelling within the
restricted AOR, so it may have not been the real peak.
Note 3 (#): The system was numbered "TD02" at 04/0000 UTC, when NMCC
initiated their TC warnings.

Note 1: Huang Chunliang sent me a track based upon warnings from the
Thai Meteorological Department (TMD). The TMD continued to issue
bulletins on the decaying Chanthu for two days after the other agencies
had dropped the system. I have appended the Thai track above beginning
with 1200 UTC on 13 June.
Note 2: Following is the table of MSW comparisons compiled and sent by
Huang Chunliang. Please read Chunliang's following explanatory notes.

Note 1: In the title line the storm grade has been adopted based on the
classification of the most "radical" TCWC. Also, all the storm names/
numbers available to me have been referenced. In addition, the starting
date points to the one when the system was initially upgraded to TD
status by whatever TCWC, while the ending date represents the one when
the system was last ranked as a TD by whatever TCWC. (In this regard,
JMA was the TCWC that took the lead in upgrading 08W to TD status on
the 5th, while TMD classified it as a TD for the last time on the 15th.)
Note 2 (*): The MSW is merely the "peak" value based on the limited
warnings released only when the storm was travelling within the
restricted AOR, so it may have not been the real peak.
Note 3 (#): Since 08W never entered the area surrounded by the lines
34N/132E, 22N/132E, 15N/125E,and 15N/110E, NMCC issued real-time warnings
at intervals of 6 hours rather than 3 hours. Both the 12/0600 UTC and
12/1200 UTC warnings classified the storm as a 60-kt STS. The 1200 UTC
warning, however, declared that the system had been downgraded from
0900 UTC's typhoon status; thus, the peak MSW value remains unknown
to me.

Note: Huang Chunliang is away in Shanghai during July and August for
a job-related training course, and is unable to provide the MSW
comparisons which he has been providing. If he should send these
to me at a later date, I'll include them as an addendum to a future
summary. For the 1200 UTC entry on 30 June, the coordinates from JTWC
and JMA were identical. JMA's 10-min avg MSW estimate was 85 kts--
roughly equivalent to a 1-min avg MSW of 95 kts--whereas JTWC was
reporting only 70 kts. It is extremely unusual for JMA to be
significantly higher than JTWC for systems above typhoon intensity.
I included the JMA coordinates, identical to JTWC's, just to highlight
the fact that the disparate intensity estimates could not have been
due to different estimates of the center position--something which is
often a major factor in divergent intensity estimates for weaker
systems.

!!!!!! IMPORTANT NOTE - PLEASE READ !!!!!!
To repeat the caveat which is included in the Author's Note
at the end of the cyclone summaries--the tropical cyclone tracks
I prepare are based upon the operational warnings/advisories/
advices/bulletins which are issued by 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 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>
SPECIAL NOTE: Back issues of the global tropical cyclone summaries
and monthly cyclone track files can be obtained at the following
