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

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 on
       the island of Guam.  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.

       The 1-min avg MSW were taken from the JTWC advisories while the
       10-min avg MSW were obtained from PAGASA's advisories if the
       storm was in PAGASA's area of responsibility; otherwise, they
       were gleaned from JMA's advisories or high seas forecasts.  The
       estimates of central pressure were obtained from JMA's advisories.
