Monthly Global Tropical Cyclone Tracks September 2000 [Summaries and Track Data] [Prepared by Gary Padgett] |
GLOBAL TROPICAL CYCLONE TRACKS - SEPTEMBER 2000
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.
A special thanks to John Wallace of San Antonio, Texas, for
compiling a rough track for TD-12 (pre-Helene) for the period
when warnings were temporarily dropped as the depression weakened
upon entering the Caribbean Sea. Also, a special thanks to
to David Roth of HPC for sending me a track for the subtropical
portion of Helene's life after the storm emerged back out over
the open Atlantic Ocean.

Note #1: The "interwarning" portion of TD-12's track was obtained by
John Wallace from the Tropical Weather Discussions issued by TPC/NHC in
which the general coordinates of the weak LOW were usually given.
However, for 0000, 0600, and 1200 UTC on 17 Sep, there was apparently no
surface circulation and the longitude represents the location of the wave
axis with the latitude being interpolated between the 16/1800 and 17/1800
UTC positions.
Note #2: The assessment of Helene as a subtropical storm as it exited
the North Carolina coast was made by David Roth. Eric Blake has informed
me that for the official Best Track Helene will likely be reclassified as
a tropical storm as it re-emerged into the Atlantic . The sudden
intensification on 25 Sep is based on at least two ship reports.

Note: At 1200 UTC satellite intensity estimates were a consensus of
127 kts (Dvorak T6.5), but since cold cloud tops had warmed and objective
T-numbers had fallen some by advisory time (1500 UTC), the MSW remained
at 115 kts. (There had been no reconnaissance plane in the storm since
around 0600 UTC.) Perhaps in post-season analysis the Best Track
intensity for 1200 UTC will be increased some.

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
and military weather services for tropical cyclone warnings.

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 were 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 2000 webpage sent me the
PAGASA and JMA tracks for these systems--a special thanks to
Michael for his assistance.
A track is included for one system for which no warnings were
issued by any official agency. This track was supplied by
Dr. Mark Lander of the University of Guam, and I have allotted
the Greek letter "Nu" to identify this system.
