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: The track and pressure data from 19/1800 UTC onward was supplied
by Chris Fogarty of the Canadian Hurricane Centre. TPC/NHC downgraded
Isabel to a 30-kt depression in their final advisory at 19/1500 UTC
with the center located over Lake Erie. However, at least two stations
on the north shore of Lake Erie (Port Colborne and Long Point) recorded
sustained winds exceeding gale force, so it appears Isabel was still
a tropical storm when it made its "final landfall" in Ontario. The
19/1800 UTC position is well inland, so likely by that time the winds
had dropped below gale force. (A special thanks to Chris for compiling
the track for Isabel's post-tropical stage.)

Note 1: The tracking and intensity information for the first two points
and the final four were taken from OPC's High Seas Forecasts.
Note 2: The TPC/NHC values for CP and MSW at 29/0000 UTC (just before
landfall) were 974 mb and 70 kts. However, McNab's Island in Halifax
Harbour recorded a sustained wind of 82 kts around the time of landfall
(elev. 17 m), so likely the MSW at landfall was in the 80-85 kt range.
Also, based on pressure observations from stations in the area, Juan's
CP at landfall was likely around 970 mb. This information was supplied
by Chris Fogarty, and I have entered these values in the table above.

Sources of Information
----------------------
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 in Miami, Florida, for locations east of longitude
140W, and from the Central Pacific Hurricane Center in Honolulu,
Hawaii, for locations west of longitude 140W. A 1-minute averaging
period is the standard used by all U. S. civilian and military
warning services for tropical cyclone warnings.

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 tracks obtained from warnings issued by the National
Meteorological Center of China (NMCC), the Central Weather Bureau
of Taiwan (CWBT) and the Hong Kong Observatory (HKO). A very
special thanks to Michael and Chunliang for the assistance they so
reliably provide. A special thanks also to Kevin Boyle for
performing a lot of the track compilation work.

Note: There was sort of a tropical monsoon "mess" during the days of
mid-September in the Western Pacific. There were multiple circulations
in the monsoon trough and the various Asian warning agencies had their
own ideas about which one was predominant. JMA was following the same
system as PAGASA (Quiel) through 17/0000 UTC, and the center coordinates
agree very well except for one annotated above. At 17/0600 UTC JMA
began following another system to the north-northeast (which subse-
quently became Typhoon Choi-wan). At 17/1800 PAGASA also began issuing
bulletins on the new circulation, dubbing it Tropical Depression Roskas,
while at the same time continuing bulletins on Tropical Depression
Quiel, but for a circulation then located over northwestern Luzon. This
system subsequently drifted westward into the South China Sea and had
weakened by 19 September. JTWC did not issue any warnings on Quiel,
but of course did initiate warnings on the developing depression which
became Choi-wan. (The first two days of Choi-wan's track in this
document is based upon JMA's bulletins for the above system.)
NMCC and CWB of Taiwan did not issue formal warnings on the system, but
did issue alerts. NMCC's track agrees rather well with PAGASA's through
17/1200 UTC, but following PAGASA's big relocation at 1800 UTC (there
was no NMCC position available at that hour), NMCC's coordinates are
significantly to the east of PAGASA's. CWB's track, beginning at
16/0600 UTC, agrees rather well with PAGASA's until the "big jump"
at 17/1800 UTC, when, like NMCC, CWB began to report positions well to
the east of PAGASA's. CWB downgraded the system to a low-pressure area
after 18/0600 UTC and kept the system stationary over northern Luzon
until it dissipated on the 19th.

Note 1: JMA, through 17/0000 UTC, was following the same system which
PAGASA had designated Tropical Depression Quiel (see separate track).
At 17/0600 UTC JMA's track apparently jumped to another developing
circulation in the monsoon trough, and then jumped again at 1200 UTC
as the new center consolidated.

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
websites:
