The track coordinates, central pressure and 1-minute average
maximum sustained wind values were obtained from the operational
forecast/advisories issued by the Tropical Prediction Center/National
Hurricane Center located in Miami, Florida. A 1-minute averaging
period is the standard used by all U. S. civilian and military
warning services for tropical cyclone warnings.

Note: At 17/0000 UTC all satellite agencies classified the system at
35 kts, based on improved banding features and cloud tops colder than
-70 C over the western half of the circulation. The decision was
initially made to name the depression Tropical Storm Pilar, but shortly
before advisory release time at 0300 UTC, shortwave infrared imagery
revealed that the center had become sheared farther to the southeast
of the banding feature and convective cloud tops had warmed considerably.
Therefore, the forecaster decided to keep the cyclone as a tropical
depression for the time being, but the weakening trend continued and
it was never upgraded to a tropical storm. Since the Best Track always
defines the track and intensity at synoptic hours (0000, 0600, 1200 and
1800 UTC), there is a possibility that the system could be treated as
a tropical storm at 17/0000 UTC. However, NHC has never been known to
name a system posthumously, so in all likelihood, if TC-16E is upgraded
after the fact, it will remain unnamed.

NORTHWEST PACIFIC (NWP) - North Pacific Ocean West of Longitude 180
Sources of Information
----------------------
The track coordinates and 1-minute average maximum sustained wind
values in general were taken from operational warnings issued by the
Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) of the U. S. Air Force and Navy,
located at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The central pressure and 10-minute
average maximum sustained wind estimates for most systems were obtained
from warnings issued by the Japanese Meteorological Agency (JMA), which
is the World Meteorological Organization's Regional Specialised Meteor-
ological Centre for the basin. In a few instances, information from
warnings issued by other Asian warning centers may have been utilized.
The center position coordinates from JMA and other centers were com-
pared with those from JTWC and annotations made in the Remarks column
when the differences in general amounted to 40-50 nm or more.
Michael V. Padua of Naga City in the Philippines, owner of the
Typhoon 2000 website, sends me cyclone tracks based upon warnings
issued by the Japanese Meteorological Agency and the Philippines'
Atmospheric, Geophysical & Astronomical Services Administration
(PAGASA). Also, Huang Chunliang of Fuzhou City, China, sends me
each month a table comparing the maximum intensities assigned to each
cyclone from all the applicable warning centers in the Northwest
Pacific basin. A very special thanks to Michael and Chunliang for
the assistance they so reliably provide.
Regarding the MSW comparison tables, Huang Chunliang has often
stated: "In the title line the storm grade has been adopted based on
the classification of the most 'radical' TCWC. Also, all the storm
names/numbers available to me have been referenced. In addition, the
starting date points to the one when the system was initially upgraded
to TD status by whatever TCWC, while the ending date represents the one
when the storm was last ranked as a TD or a tropical system by whatever
TCWC."

NORTH INDIAN OCEAN (NIO) - Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea
Sources of Information
----------------------
The track coordinates and 1-minute average maximum sustained wind
values in general were taken from operational warnings issued by the
Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) of the U. S. Air Force and Navy,
located at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Occasionally some information may
have been gleaned from the daily tropical weather outlooks and other
bulletins issued by the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), which
is the World Meteorological Organization's Regional Specialised Meteor-
ological Centre for the basin.
The reported maximum sustained winds are based on a 1-minute
averaging period, which is used by all U. S. civilian and military
weather services for tropical cyclone warnings. For synoptic
observations in the North Indian Ocean region, both 10-minute and
3-minute average winds are employed, but IMD makes no attempt to
modify the Dvorak scale for estimating tropical cyclone intensity;
hence, a 1-minute average MSW is implied.

Note #1: The IMD portion of the above track was supplied by Huang
Chunliang. IMD tracked the remnants inland over South Andhra through
29/1200 UTC, but no coordinates were available.
Note #2: I have learned from Soma Senroy, a contact I have within the
IMD, that this system was named Baaz by Pakistan. However, the WMO
operational plan for this region clearly states that RSMC New Delhi
(IMD) is charged with assigning names to those systems reaching cyclonic
storm (i.e., tropical storm) status, and IMD did not upgrade this system
to cyclonic storm status. If I learn more about this anomaly, I will
pass along the information in the October cyclone summary.

SOUTHWEST INDIAN OCEAN (SWI) - South Indian Ocean West of Longitude 90E
Sources of Information
----------------------
The track coordinates as well as the central pressure and 10-minute
average maximum sustained wind estimates were obtained from warnings
issued by Meteo France's Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre on Reunion
Island (MFR), which is the World Meteorological Organization's Regional
Specialised Meteorological Centre for the basin. The 1-minute average
maximum sustained wind estimates were taken from warnings issued by the
Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) of the U. S. Air Force and Navy,
located at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The center position coordinates from
JTWC were compared with those from MFR and annotations made in the
Remarks column when the differences in general amounted to 40-50 nm
or more.

!!!!!! IMPORTANT NOTE - PLEASE READ !!!!!!
To repeat the caveat which is included in the Author's Note
at the end of the cyclone summaries--the tropical cyclone tracks
I prepare are based upon the operational warnings/advisories/
advices/bulletins which are issued by 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 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>
SPECIAL NOTE: Back issues of the global tropical cyclone summaries
and monthly cyclone track files can be obtained at the following
