Northern Hemisphere 2005 Tropical Cyclone Season Review [Summaries and Track Data] [Prepared by Gary Padgett] |
A REVIEW OF THE 2005 TROPICAL CYCLONE SEASON
FOR THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE
Following is a tabular summary of all the tropical depressions,
tropical storms, hurricanes, and typhoons which occurred in the
Northern Hemisphere between 1 January and 31 December 2005, as
reported in the Monthly Global Tropical Cyclone Summaries prepared
by the author.
(1) Number - this is the sequential cyclone number assigned by either
TPC/NHC, CPHC in Honolulu, or JTWC. If neither of these
agencies issued any warnings, no number will be given.
(2) Name - the name (if any) assigned by either TPC/NHC, CPHC, IMD,
or JMA (and PAGASA for Western North Pacific systems in
their area of warning responsibility).
(3) Dates - range of dates for which tracking information for the
cyclone is available in the Global Tropical Cyclone
Tracks files prepared by the author.
(4) Pressure - Lowest central pressure (either estimated or recorded)
during the lifetime of the cyclone. For Atlantic and
Northeastern Pacific systems these will be the values
reported in operational advisories from TPC/NHC or
CPHC. For Northwest Pacific systems the central
pressure estimates are taken from advisories issued by
the Japanese Meteorological Agency. An asterisk (*)
following the pressure indicates the reading was an
actual measured pressure normally obtained by a drop-
sonde released during an aerial reconnaissance
flight. Central pressure is given in millibars,
which is numerically equivalent to hectopascals.
(5) MSW - maximum 1-minute average sustained windspeed in knots.
For the Northwestern Pacific and North Indian Ocean
basins, these will be the highest value assigned
operationally by JTWC. For the Atlantic basin the MSW and
central pressure values are taken from the official tropical
cyclone reports prepared by the TPC/NHC Hurricane
Specialists and which are available on TPC/NHC's website:
.
(6) Basins - tropical cyclone basins where the cyclone tracked during
its life:
ATL - North Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea
NEP - North Pacific east of Longitude 180
NWP - North Pacific west of Longitude 180
(including South China Sea)
NIO - Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea
For tropical systems in the NWP basin, two additional columns of
information are given:
(1) The tropical storm serial number assigned by the Japanese
Meteorological Agency to tropical depressions which are deemed
to have reached tropical storm intensity. This does not always
agree with JTWC's assessment.
(2) An estimate of the maximum 10-minute average sustained wind.
The value given represents the highest 10-min avg MSW assigned
by any agency. If from any warning center other than JMA, a
numbered note below identifies which center's value is given.
For tropical systems in the NIO basin, an additional column lists
the alphanumeric storm identifier assigned by the India Meteorological
Department (IMD) for those systems deemed to have reached cyclonic
storm (i.e., tropical storm) status by that agency.
A number in parentheses (e.g. (1) ) following an entry refers to
a note following the entries for the given basin. A separate table
is given for each of the four Northern Hemisphere basins.

NOTES:
(1) Operationally, Cindy was treated as a tropical storm. It was
upgraded to a hurricane in post-storm analysis.
(2) Emily's peak MSW was upped from 135 kts to 140 kts during post-storm
analysis, thereby upgrading the storm to Category 5 status.
(3) Rita's minimum CP was lowered from 897 mb to 895 mb and peak MSW
upped from 150 kts to 155 kts during post-storm analysis.
(4) System was classified as a subtropical depression.
(5) Wilma's peak MSW was upped from 150 kts to 160 kts during post-storm
analysis. The CP of 882 mb is the lowest ever measured in an
Atlantic tropical cyclone.
(6) Gamma's peak MSW was upped from 40 kts to 45 kts during post-storm
analysis.
(7) Jose's minimum CP was lowered from 1001 mb to 998 mb and peak MSW
upped from 45 kts to 50 kts during post-storm analysis.
(8) The official TPC/NHC report on Beta is not yet available online, so
the CP and MSW given here represent the operational values.

North Indian Ocean basin. Only the Thai Meteorological Department
tracked the system as a continuous entity from its birth in the
South China Sea until its demise inland in India.
(5) The highest 10-min avg MSW was assigned by NMCC and PAGASA.
