Monthly Global Tropical Cyclone Tracks September 1998 [Summaries and Track Data] [Prepared by Gary Padgett] |
GLOBAL TROPICAL CYCLONE TRACKS - SEPTEMBER 1998
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 1: Earl was initially upgraded to a hurricane with 70-kt MSW
at 1500 UTC on 2 Sep.
Note 2: The positions for the extratropical stages of Earl were taken
from the High Seas Forecasts (HSF) of the Marine Prediction Center. The
05/0600 UTC position seems like a huge jump from the previous one,
yet the HSF from which that position was taken clearly identified the
system as the continuation of Earl.

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

Note: According to the Monthly Summary for the Eastern North Pacific
prepared by the staff of TPC/NHC, the remnants of Javier briefly
re-intensified to 45 kts on 12 Sep when the system was near Manzanillo,
Mexico. To my knowledge, no advisories were issued, and consequently,
this stage of Javier's life is not depicted in the above table.

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. In
a few cases the 10-min MSW given by PAGASA and JMA did not agree;
in those cases I reported the higher value. The estimates of
central pressure were obtained from JMA's advisories.

Note 2: Landfall south of Osaka apparently occurred around 22/0300 UTC.
There was a synoptic report of a sustained 10-min wind of 85 kts, which
would imply a peak 1-min avg of 100-110 kts, depending on the specific
value used as a conversion factor.

Note: The coordinates given from 30/0600 UTC onward are not necessarily
the real-time operational coordinates but represent a tentative (working)
best track. Due (I suppose) to some e-mail problem, I was missing 3 or 4
of the last few positions on Yanni. The last eight sets of coordinates
were sent to me by Roger Edson of JTWC--a special thanks to Roger for
supplying me with the missing information.

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
on the island of Guam. 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: I located two positions by the Indian Meteorological Department
(IMD). At 30/0600 UTC IMD's coordinates were 17.5 N, 65.0 E. The other
one, at 30/1200 UTC, was very close to JTWC's at 18.0 N, 63.5 E.

SOUTH INDIAN OCEAN (SIO) - South Indian Ocean West of Longitude 90E
NOTE: The tracking coordinates, 10-min avg MSW, and estimates of
central pressure were obtained from the RSMC La Reunion's
advisories, while the 1-min avg MSW were taken from JTWC's
advisories.
