Monthly Global Tropical Cyclone Tracks January 1999 [Summaries and Track Data] [Prepared by Gary Padgett] |
GLOBAL TROPICAL CYCLONE TRACKS - JANUARY 1999
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.

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. In the case of Tropical Storm Alda, the
coordinates and 10-min MSW were taken from an analyzed
Best Track prepared by the La Reunion TCWC. A special
thanks to Philippe Caroff for sending the track to me.

AUSTRALIAN REGION (AUS) - From Longitude 90E Eastward to Longitude 160E
NOTE: The tracking information presented below was obtained from
operational warnings issued by the Tropical Cyclone Warning
Centres at Perth, Western Australia; Darwin, Northern Territory;
and Brisbane, Queensland. JTWC warnings were utilized for
making comparisons and for supplying information for times when
the Australian warnings were unavailable. The 10-min MSW values
were obtained from the Australian warnings while the 1-min MSW
values were assigned by JTWC.
The tropical cyclone warnings from Perth report the analyzed
cyclone positions at 0400, 1000, 1600, and 2200 UTC instead of
the more familiar 0000, 0600, 1200, and 1800 UTC utilized by most
TC warning agencies. I have made no attempt to interpolate the
coordinates to standard synoptic hours as I did last season.

SOUTHWEST PACIFIC (SWP) - South Pacific Ocean East of Longitude 160E
NOTE: The tracking and intensity information for Southwest Pacific
Basin tropical cyclones was taken from real-time operational
warnings issued by the Nadi TCWC, Fiji for positions north of
25S and from the Wellington, New Zealand office for positions
south of 25S. Warnings from JTWC (west of 180) and from
NPMOC (east of 180) were utilized for the purpose of making
comparisons and for supplying information for times when the
Nadi or Wellington warnings were unavailable. The 10-min avg
MSW values were taken from the Fiji or New Zealand warnings
while the 1-min avg MSW values were obtained from the JTWC or
NPMOC warnings.
