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.
Michael V. Padua, owner of the Typhoon 2000 webpage, sent me the
PAGASA and JMA tracks for all the named cyclones, and Huang
Chunliang, of Fuzhou, China, sent me tracks from the National
Meteorological Center of China and the Hong Kong Observatory.
A special thanks to these gentlemen for their assistance.
The 1-min avg MSW were taken from the JTWC advisories while the
10-min avg MSW and central pressure estimates were obtained from
JMA's advisories. The 10-min MSW estimates from the other centers
follow the main track in a separate table.

Note: Position coordinates were in fairly good agreement among the

Note: Following JTWC's track, Trami's center was over Taiwan at 1800 UTC
on 11 July and 0000 UTC on the 12th. However, JMA's track places the
ill-defined center near the southern tip of the island at 11/0600 UTC.
As would be expected with a weak, rather nebulous system, there was
quite a bit of divergence in the center position coordinates between
the various warning agencies. The 10-min mean sustained winds given
above were taken from JMA's bulletins with the exception of the last
entry, which was estimated by the Hong Kong Observatory (HKO).

Note: Center positions were in excellent agreement between JTWC, JMA,
and NMCC for Kong-rey. I have given NMCC's 10-min MSW estimates above
in the Remarks column for brevity. The only coordinate comparisons I
have made were at 1200 and 1800 UTC on 24 June. JMA's coordinates for
those times were:
24/1200 UTC - 26.1 N, 142.3 E
24/1800 UTC - 26.3 N, 141.6 E
NMCC's coordinates also agreed rather closely with JMA's for those times.
The differences with JTWC aren't all that great, but seem a little larger
than usual considering the intensity of Kong-rey at that point. JTWC's
last warning was at 28/0600 UTC--all the track entries from 1200 UTC
forward were taken from JMA's High Seas Bulletins.

Note: Position coordinates were in excellent agreement among the various
warning agencies throughout the life of Yutu. The 10-min mean sustained
winds given above were taken from JMA's bulletins with the exception of
the last three entries, which were estimated by the National
Meteorological Center of China (NMCC). (JMA's MSW for 26/0000 UTC was
30 kts.) Following is a tabular summary of the maximum 10-min average

Note: Toraji's center had just made landfall in eastern Taiwan at
1800 UTC on 29 July and was over the island at 30/0000 UTC. By 0600 UTC
the center was over the Taiwan Strait and had made its final landfall
in China by 31/0000 UTC. Center position coordinates were in excellent
agreement among the several warning agencies for Typhoon Toraji. Since
I have made no position comparisons, I have included the 10-min mean wind
estimates from PAGASA, NMCC, and HKO above in the Remarks column. The
final bulletin on Toraji from JMA was at 31/0000 UTC--the primary 10-min
avg MSW entry for 0600 UTC was the value reported by both NMCC and HKO.

!!!!!! IMPORTANT NOTE - PLEASE READ !!!!!!
It has been brought to my attention that I should repeat in the
cyclone tracks file the caveat which is included in the Author's
Note at the end of the cyclone summaries. The tropical cyclone
tracks which I prepare are based upon the operational warnings/
advisories/advices/bulletins from the various tropical cyclone
warning agencies around the world. Users of these tracks should
be aware that they are preliminary and subject to revision during
post-seasonal analyses of the cyclones by the forecasters and
analysts at the several warning centers.
For the Atlantic and Northeast Pacific basins, official tropical
cyclone reports and "best tracks" can be found at the website of
the Tropical Prediction Center/National Hurricane Center:
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov>
The Joint Typhoon Warning Center's website contains links to their
Annual Tropical Cyclone Reports (ATCR) which include that agency's
"best tracks" for tropical cyclones in the Northwest Pacific basin,
the North Indian Ocean, and the Southern Hemisphere:
http://199.10.200.33/jtwc.html>
For the actual Best Tracks files, click on the link for Best Tracks
(in the menu on the left side of the screen) and follow instructions.
In the ATCR for 2000, the Chapter 5 tab contains verification
statistics of JTWC warnings for all the 2000 tropical cyclones in the
Northwest Pacific, North Indian Ocean, and the Southern Hemisphere.
There are gaps in the Best Tracks presented here for certain cyclones
during periods in which no warnings were being issued.
