GLOBAL TROPICAL CYCLONE TRACKS - MARCH 2000
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
at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. 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. Some information was
also obtained from the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD).
JTWC issued no warnings on the system tracked below, but two
Formation Alerts were issued on successive days for the area of
disturbed weather (29 and 30 Mar) with the Alert being cancelled
on 31 Mar.

00 MAR 30 0300 15.5 N 90.0 E 30 JTWC: 14.1 N, 89.5 E
Note: JTWC never issued any warnings on this system but two Formation
Alerts were issued. IMD on 30 March referred to the system as a
cyclonic storm (i.e., tropical storm), but since JTWC never initiated
warnings, I have chosen to refer to the system as a tropical depression.

NOTE: Following is an alternate track for the above system provided by
Roger Edson of the University of Guam. A special thanks to Roger for
his analyis of this interesting system. In accordance with a practice
I initiated last summer, I have designated the storm with the Greek
letter "Iota" since it was an unnumbered/unnamed system likely of
tropical storm intensity in its latter stages.

Note: Roger's comments regarding the track indicates that it was not
performed with the degree of precision he utilized when he was still at
JTWC. He used available scatterometer data and TRMM, infrared and
visible imagery (but not a complete set). Positions are to the nearest
0.5 degrees. Some of the MSW values were obtained with the fairly new
QuikScat scatterometer and Roger adds that this is not a "proven"
sensor yet--it could have a high or low bias.

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
warnings.
A special thanks is due to Patrick Hoareau of Rennes, France,
(and a former resident of La Reunion) for preparing the track
for Intense Tropical Cyclone Hudah.

it would have been considered a tropical depression in most basins.
La Reunion has a minimum 10-min avg MSW requirement of 28 kts for
inclusion in the tropical depression category.

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.
A special thanks is due to Matthew Saxby of Queanbeyan, New
South Wales, Australia, for sending me tabulated tracks for
Tropical Cyclones Steve, Norman and Olga, and also for two non-
developing Queensland East Coast LOWs.

eye passed over or very near Green Island where a 10-min mean wind of
62 kts with a peak gust of 85 kts was recorded. Landfall occurred just
north of Cairns where a peak 10-min mean wind of 56 kts was recorded with

Note #1: The first two MSW entries are estimates. Information was taken
from daily Tropical Weather Outlooks from Brisbane, and the system was
referred to as a "weak LOW" on 14 Mar and as a "LOW" on 15 Mar.
Note #2: Gale-force winds were forecast for the southern semicircle
only. The system dissipated just before reaching the coast, but
nevertheless, several locations and a ship recorded gale-force winds as
it moved in.

gale-force winds.

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.
A special thanks to Alipate Waqaicelua, Chief Forecaster at the
Nadi, Fiji, TCWC for sending me summaries and tabulated tracks
for Tropical Cyclones Leo and Mona.

Note: There are no 1-min MSW estimates for Tropical Cyclone Leo because
I received only one warning (#2) from NPMOC. Dvorak satellite estimates
from KGWC and JTWC reached T4.0 and T3.5, respectively, from roughly
06/1800 UTC through 07/0000 UTC but began to come down thereafter.
