GLOBAL TROPICAL CYCLONE TRACKS - MARCH 1999
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 TC Davina and TD E39899, 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.

Note: All the tabular positions, central pressure estimates, and 10-min
MSW values from 02/0600 UTC onward are based upon the analyzed Best Track
from La Reunion. No MSW values were given after 16/0000 UTC--I chose to
use 15 kts as the MSW for this portion of the track as the winds were
likely no higher than this.

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.

issued no warnings, and the Formation Alerts estimated the 1-min MSW at
25-30 kts.

Note: According to some private correspondence with Jim Parsons, a
Typhoon Duty Officer at JTWC, this 1-min MSW value has been re-adjusted
back to T7.0/140 kts. Tropical Cyclone Frederic crossed into the
South Indian Ocean basin shortly after 0400 UTC on 1 April and was
renamed Evrina by Mauritius. The subsequent track of this cyclone will
be covered in the April summary.

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.

reported northerly winds to 40 kts within 100 nm of the center; however,
these winds were believed to have been associated with local squalls.
