EXTRA FEATURE !!!!!!!!!!!!!! A REVIEW OF THE 2005-2006 TROPICAL CYCLONE SEASON FOR THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE Following is a tabular summary of all the tropical depressions and tropical cyclones which occurred in the Southern Hemisphere between 1 July 2005 and 30 June 2006 as reported in the Monthly Global Tropical Cyclone Summaries prepared by the author. (1) Number - this is the sequential cyclone number assigned by JTWC in Hawaii. (2) Name - the name (if any) assigned by the responsible Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre. For systems in the South Indian Ocean west of 90E and in the Southwest Pacific east of 160E which were unnamed, the alphanumeric designator applied by La Reunion or Fiji, respectively, is given in this column. (3) Dates - range of dates for which tracking information for the cyclone is available in the Global Tropical Cyclone Tracks files prepared by the author. The dates given in most cases refer to the time the system was in warning status and generally do not include the pre-depression stages of the disturbance. (4) Pressure - Lowest central pressure (either estimated or recorded) during the lifetime of the cyclone. An asterisk (*) following the pressure indicates the reading was an actual measured pressure. Central pressure is given in millibars, which is numerically equivalent to hectopascals. (5) MSW 1-min avg - maximum 1-minute average sustained windspeed in knots as assigned by JTWC. An asterisk (*) following the MSW indicates that it was an actual measured value. (6) MSW 10-min avg - maximum 10-minute average sustained windspeed in knots as assigned by the responsible Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre. An asterisk (*) following the MSW indicates that it was an actual measured value. (7) Basins - tropical cyclone basins where the cyclone tracked during its life: SWI - Southwest Indian Ocean - West of 90E AUW - Northwest Australia/Southeast Indian Ocean - 90E to 135E AUE - Northeast Australia/Coral Sea - 135E to 160E SPA - South Pacific Ocean - East of 160E SAT - South Atlantic Ocean A number in parentheses (e.g. (1) ) following an entry refers to a note following the entries for the given basin. A separate table is given for each of the four Southern Hemisphere basins.

All references to sustained winds imply a 1-minute averaging period unless otherwise noted. Atlantic Tropical Activity for June ----------------------------------- Since 1950 the month of June in the Atlantic basin has averaged a tropical storm roughly every other year with an average of 1.38 NSD. June of 2006 was the second consecutive month of June to produce a tropical storm, following the two named storms which kicked off the incredibly active 2005 season. However, neither of the 2005 or 2006 storms reached hurricane intensity. On the average a June hurricane forms about every six years, but the last June hurricane was Hurricane Allison in 1995, and the previous June hurricane prior to that was Hurricane Bonnie in 1986. Between 1954 and 1972, inclusive, seven hurricanes formed in the month of June, plus one in May (1970). This year's Tropical Storm Alberto, as did Arlene last year, neared hurricane intensity but fell a little short of being upgraded. Alberto lasted longer than the average June tropical storm, producing 3.00 NSD. A short report on Alberto follows. TROPICAL STORM ALBERTO (TC-01) 10 - 18 June ------------------------------------------ Much of the information following was obtained from the monthly summary for June prepared by the hurricane specialists at TPC/NHC. Alberto formed from the interaction of a tropical wave with a trough of low pressure which lay over the northwestern Caribbean Sea in early June. A tropical depression formed on 10 June and the poorly-organized center moved northwestward through the Yucatan Channel that night. Around 1300 UTC on the morning of 11 June a reconnaissance plane measured a FLW of 51 kts at 425 metres. This data, along with a ship report of 33 kts at 1200 UTC in the same area, was the basis for upgrading Alberto to a tropical storm at 1500 UTC. The center of the newly-christened cyclone with 40-kt winds was then located about 175 nm northwest of the western tip of Cuba. Tropical Storm Alberto subsequently turned northward but as the system was located in a high vertical shear environment, had strengthened to only 45 kts by the early morning of 12 June. However, later that morning, a reconnaissance aircraft found that the center had reformed near the deep convection and the MSW was abruptly upped to 60 kts--the peak for Alberto. As a precaution, a hurricane warning was issued for portions of the Florida coastline. The storm's sudden strengthening had occurred over a region of high oceanic heat content--the Gulf Loop Current--but as Alberto turned northeastward and left the Loop Current behind, it began to slowly weaken. The storm made landfall around midday on 13 June near Adams Beach in the Big Bend area of Florida, about 80 km southeast of Tallahassee, with the MSW near 45 kts. Alberto weakened to a tropical depression on the 14th over Georgia and then emerged off the mid-Atlantic coast as an extratropical gale that night. The post-Alberto system accelerated northeastward, passing near the Canadian Maritimes, and then traversed the North Atlantic, nearing Ireland by the 18th.

(2) Some stations in Cuba recorded in excess of 400 mm of rain. (3) The maximum rainfall for the U. S. was at Raleigh, NC, where 182 mm was measured. (4) Ruskin, FL, measured 170 mm while Rincon, GA, recorded 179 mm. (5) Two fatalities were attributed to Alberto: the pilot of a small plane which crashed near Tampa, FL, and a 13-year old boy who drowned near Raleigh, NC. In addition, nine people were reported missing after a boat supposedly sank off Boynton Beach Inlet, but this was later determined to be a hoax and the perpetrator arrested. (6) There were 16 tornadoes reported in association with Alberto. (Report written by Gary Padgett) ************************************************************************* NORTHEAST PACIFIC (NEP) - North Pacific Ocean East of Longitude 180 Activity for June: 1 tropical depression Sources of Information ---------------------- Most of the information presented below was obtained from the various tropical cyclone products issued by the Tropical Prediction Center/National Hurricane Center (TPC/NHC) in Miami, Florida (or the Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC) in Honolulu, Hawaii, for locations west of longitude 140W): discussions, public advisories, forecast/advisories, tropical weather outlooks, special tropical disturbance statements, etc. Some additional information may have been gleaned from the monthly summaries prepared by the hurricane specialists and available on TPC/NHC's website. All references to sustained winds imply a 1-minute averaging period unless otherwise noted. Northeast Pacific Tropical Activity for June -------------------------------------------- Over the 1971-2005 period of record, the Northeast Pacific basin has averaged two tropical storms per year with one reaching hurricane intensity. No tropical storm formed in June, 2006, and this was only the second time since 1969 that the month of June was stormless--the other occasion being just two years earlier in 2004. And even though over the long haul June has averaged one hurricane per year, the last Eastern Pacific hurricane to form in the month of June was Hurricane Carlotta in June, 2000. Interestingly, the month of May, which averages a hurricane about once every four years, has seen three hurricanes during this hurricane-free June period. In 2000 a hurricane formed in both May and June with May's Hurricane Aletta being the first Eastern Pacific May hurricane in ten years. One tropical depression did form during the month of June--Tropical Depression 02E. This system developed from a tropical wave about 140 miles southwest of Zihuatanejo, Mexico, on 3 June. Although it never reached tropical storm intensity, its proximity to land and the uncertainty in the intensity forecast prompted the issuance of tropical storm warnings along the Mexican coast. The depression meandered off the coast for a couple of days and brought heavy rainfall, flash floods and mud slides over portion of Mexico. The system dissipated on 5 June as it interacted with land. According to the Wikipedia report (see link following), Acapulco received between 250 and 300 mm of rain from the depression. The short Wikipedia report on Tropical Depression 02E may be accessed at the following link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Pacific_hurricane_season#Tropical_Depression_Two-E> A graphic depicting the track of Tropical Depression 02E may be found at the following link: http://www.tropicalcyclone2005.com/database/2006/E/BTI/2006-02E-TWO-E.gif> The track in tabular format may be accessed at the following URL: http://www.tropicalcyclone2005.com/database/2006/E/BT/2006-02E-BT.txt> ************************************************************************* NORTHWEST PACIFIC (NWP) - North Pacific Ocean West of Longitude 180 Activity for June: 2 tropical storms ** ** - one formed on final day of month and became super typhoon in July Sources of Information ---------------------- Most of the information presented below is based upon tropical cyclone warnings and significant tropical weather outlooks issued by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center of the U. S. Air Force and Navy (JTWC), located at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. In the companion tropical cyclone tracks file, I normally annotate track coordinates from some of the various Asian warning centers when their center positions differ from JTWC's by usually 40-50 nm or more. All references to sustained winds imply a 1-minute averaging period unless otherwise noted. Michael V. Padua of Naga City in the Philippines, owner of the Typhoon 2000 website, normally sends me cyclone tracks based upon warnings issued by the Japanese Meteorological Agency (JMA) and the Philippines' Atmospheric, Geophysical & Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA). A very special thanks to Michael for the assistance he so reliably provides. In the title line for each storm I have referenced all the cyclone names/numbers I have available: JTWC's depression number, the JMA-assigned name (if any), JMA's tropical storm numeric designator, and PAGASA's name for systems forming in or passing through their area of warning responsibility. Northwest Pacific Tropical Activity for June -------------------------------------------- Following the dissipation of Super Typhoon Chanchu in late May, the world's most active tropical cyclone basin lay dormant until late in June when a tropical disturbance crossed the Philippines into the South China Sea where it became Tropical Storm Jelawat. This event, however, marked the beginning of an active spell in the Western Pacific which is still continuing at the present time (14 August). Another tropical depression formed late in the month and at 1800 UTC on 30 June was upgraded by both JMA and JTWC to Tropical Storm Ewiniar. Ewiniar became a strong typhoon in early July, briefly reaching super typhoon status per JTWC's analysis. A short report on Jelawat, authored by Kevin Boyle, follows--Typhoon Ewiniar will be covered in the July summary. TROPICAL STORM JELAWAT (TC-03W / TS 0206 / DOMENG) 26 - 29 June ----------------------------------------------- Jelawat: contributed by Malaysia, is the name of a freshwater carp also known as the Sultan fish. This tasty fish normally inhabits large rivers and is much sought after by gourmets. A. Storm History ---------------- Tropical Storm Jelawat was a relatively weak tropical storm that brought heavy rains and flooding to southern parts of China. After a month's hiatus, Jelawat was the first of three significant tropical cyclones marking the beginning of an active period in the Northwest Pacific basin, beginning in late June and continuing into July. At 0600 UTC 22 June an area of convection had persisted approximately 30 nm southeast of Palau. It was first mentioned in JTWC's STWO when animated multi-spectral satellite imagery showed convection consolidating over a possible LLCC. An upper-level analysis indicated a low vertical wind shear environment with favourable poleward outflow so further development was expected. The disturbance moved quickly westwards across the southern Philippines as Tropical Depression Domeng (PAGASA assigned this name at 24/0000 UTC) on 24-25 June and entered the South China Sea the next day. The system began to organize, prompting JTWC to issue a TCFA at 25/2230 UTC, followed by the first warning at 26/0600 UTC. At this time, Tropical Depression 03W was located approximately 160 nm west-southwest of Manila, Philippines, and drifting towards the west-northwest at 12 kts along the southwestern periphery of a subtropical ridge. (Editor's Note: PAGASA classified the pre-Jelawat system as a tropical depression as early as 24/0000 UTC and upgraded it to a tropical storm at 24/1200 UTC, well before either JMA or JTWC had classified it as a depression. So according to PAGASA's warnings, it was Tropical Storm Domeng which crossed the southern Philippines.) Tropical Depression 03W was raised to tropical storm status at 0000 UTC 27 June while centred approximately 345 nm south-southeast of Hong Kong, China. It was named Jelawat at 27/0600 UTC after JMA upgraded the system to a 35-kt tropical storm. Tropical Storm Jelawat followed a predominantly northwestward track through the South China Sea and reached its peak intensity of 45 kts at 27/1800 UTC as it was approaching the island of Hainan, China. Passing very near the northeast coast of Hainan, Jelawat began to weaken and was downgraded to a tropical depression at 28/1800 UTC. Continuing northwestward, the system made landfall near Zhanjiang, China, early on 29 June. JMA and JTWC issued their final warnings at 29/0000 UTC and 29/0600 UTC, respectively. JMA estimated a peak intensity of 40 kts (10-min avg) and minimum CP of 994 mb while PAGASA estimated a maximum intensity of 40 kts also. Unfortunately, John Diebolt has had some problems with his track graphic database, and the graphic for Tropical Storm Jelawat is not available at this time. Once John has gotten it restored, I will include the link in a future summary. Jelawat's track in tabular format may be accessed at the following URL: http://www.tropicalcyclone2005.com/database/2006/W/BT/2006-03W-BT.txt> B. Damage and Casualties ------------------------ Tropical Storm Jelawat brought heavy rainfall and flooding to Guangdong and Guangxi Provinces. News reports indicate that seven people were killed with one reported missing. The Wikipedia report for Jelawat may be accessed at the following link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Pacific_typhoon_season#Tropical_Storm_Jelawat_.28Domeng.29> According to the Wikipedia report, Haikou, China, recorded 309.7 mm of rainfall in association with Jelawat. Kampung, Malaysia, measured 220 mm of rain in 16 hours.

Many readers will know about these already, but for the benefit of those who don't, I wanted to include them. (1) Aircraft Reconnaissance Information --------------------------------------- Various types of messages from reconnaissance aircraft may be retrieved from the following FTP site: ftp://ftp.nhc.noaa.gov/pub/products/nhc/recon/> Information regarding how to interpret the coded reconnaissance messages may be found at the following URL: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/reconlist.shtml> Links are also included to websites with further information about the U. S. Air Force 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron and the NOAA Air- craft Operations Center. (2) Archived Advisories ----------------------- All the advisory products (public advisories, forecast/advisories, strike probabilities, discussions, various graphics) issued by TPC/NHC are archived on TPC's website. For the current year (using 2004 as an example), the archived products can be found at: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2004/index.shtml> Links to tropical products archives for earlier years are available at the following URL: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pastall.shtml> JTWC warnings for past storms are archived on the NRL Monterry website: http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/tc_pages/tc_home.html> On the NRL site, the link to past years can be found in the upper left corner of the screen. I am not aware at the moment of any other TCWC which archives all its tropical cyclone warning/advisory products for public access, but if I learn of any, I will add them to this list. (3) Satellite Imagery --------------------- Satellite images of tropical cyclones in various sensor bands are available on the NRL Monterrey and University of Wisconsin websites, courtesy of Jeff Hawkins and Chris Velden and their associates. The links are: http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/tc_pages/tc_home.html> http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/tropic/tropic.html> On the NRL site, the link to past years can be found in the upper left corner of the screen. For the CIMSS site, a link to data archives is located in the lower left portion of the screen. Additional tropical satellite imagery, along with looping ability for composite microwave imagery for the Western Hemisphere north of the equator, can be found at: (1) For the Eastern North Pacific: http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/trop-epac.html> (2) For the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea: http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/trop-atl.html> I'm sure there are other sites with available imagery available, and as I learn of them, I will add the links to this list. ************************************************************************* EXTRA FEATURE In order to shorten the amount of typing in preparing the narrative material, I have been in the habit of freely using abbreviations and acronyms. I have tried to define most of these with the first usage in a given summary, but I may have missed one now and then. Most of these are probably understood by a majority of readers but perhaps a few aren't clear to some. To remedy this I developed a Glossary of Abbreviations and Acronyms which I first included in the August, 1998 summary. I don't normally include the Glossary in most months in order to help keep them from being too long. If anyone would like to receive a copy of the Glossary, please e-mail me and I'll be happy to send them a copy. ************************************************************************* AUTHOR'S NOTE: This summary should be considered a very preliminary overview of the tropical cyclones that occur in each month. The cyclone tracks (provided separately) will generally be based upon operational warnings issued by the various tropical cyclone warning centers. The information contained therein may differ somewhat from the tracking and intensity information obtained from a "best-track" file which is based on a detailed post-seasonal analysis of all available data. Information on where to find official "best-track" files from the various warning centers will be passed along from time to time. The track files are not being sent via e-mail. They can be retrieved from the archive sites listed below. (Note: I do have a limited e-mail distribution list for the track files. If anyone wishes to receive these via e-mail, please send me a message.) Both the summaries and the track files are standard text files created in DOS editor. Download to disk and use a viewer such as Notepad or DOS editor to view the files. The first summary in this series covered the month of October, 1997.
