            GLOBAL TROPICAL CYCLONE TRACKS - OCTOBER 1999

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:  The information for the extratropical portion of Irene's track
was obtained from the High Seas Warnings issued by the Marine Prediction
Center (MPC) in Washington, D. C.   Since MPC's official area of warning
responsibility is for waters west of 35W, the highest winds given for
the last three warning times above were only for winds expected to be
occurring over the forecast waters west of 35W and not the highest
winds associated with the storm; hence, no MSW is given in the above
table for these times.

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 at
       Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. 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.

       Michael V. Padua, owner of the Typhoon '99 webpage sent me the 
       PAGASA and JMA tracks for these systems--a special thanks to 
       Michael for his assistance.

Note:  The storm position coordinates from JTWC, JMA, and PAGASA were
in remarkably good agreement for this cyclone, even during the early
formative stages.

Note:  In contrast to Typhoon Dan/Pepang (9920), there was considerable
divergence in the center position coordinates between JTWC, PAGASA, and
JMA for this system.  During the first couple of days, JMA and PAGASA
were usually in fairly close agreement--in the Remarks column I listed
the one with the largest disagreement with JTWC's position.   The single
largest disagreement between all three agencies was at 16/0000 UTC: the
PAGASA coordinates for that time were 13.7 N, 123.3 E.

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).
