GLOBAL TROPICAL CYCLONE TRACKS - AUGUST 2001
!!!! IMPORTANT -- PLEASE SEE NOTE AT END OF FILE !!!!
*************************************************************************
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.
The last four positions in the track of Tropical Storm
Barry were taken from the storm summaries issued by the
Hydrometeorological Prediction Center in Maryland.
David Roth, a meteorologist at the Hydrometeorological
Prediction Center, sent me some track positions and
intensities for Tropical Storm Dean during the inter-advisory
period from 23-27 August and also for the post-tropical
cyclone stage of the system on 28 and 29 August. A special
thanks to David for his assistance.

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 track for Tropical Depression Jolina and the JMA tracks for
all the named cyclones. Huang Chunliang of Fuzhou City, China,
sent me the tracks from the National Meteorological Center of
China (NMCC) and the Hong Kong Observatory (HKO). Roger Edson,
of the University of Guam, sent me his versions of tracks for
Tropical Depression 15W and Tropical Depression Jolina. 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: There is no conclusive evidence that the system of 6-8 August was
a redevelopment of the depression of 2-3 August, but it seems likely
that the second was related to the first. While JTWC classified neither
as a tropical depression nor issued any TCFA's, JMA, NMCC, and Taiwan's
Central Weather Bureau all classified the system of 2-3 August as a
tropical depression. The system made landfall in eastern China near the
border between Zhejiang and Fujian Provinces and later turned northward
toward the Shanghai area where unexpectedly heavy rains fell on 5 August.
JMA treated the Yellow Sea system of 6-8 August as a tropical depression
in the Summary portion of their High Seas Bulletins while JTWC gave the
system a fair potential for development on 6 and 7 August. By the 8th
the LOW was embedded in a baroclinic zone in the Sea of Japan in a region
of high vertical shear.

Note: PAGASA was the only meteorological agency issuing warnings on this
system that I am aware of. Disturbed weather persisted in the South
China Sea in the days following the dissipation of Jolina, and there may
possibly be some connection with the development of Tropical Storm Fitow
a few days later.

Note: Roger Edson, at my request, sent me a track for this depression.
Since there were significant enough differences with the JMA and JTWC
tracks--and especially intensities--which made it difficult to dovetail
into one coherent track, I am including Roger's track along with his

!!!!!! 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.
