Northern Hemisphere 2009 Tropical Cyclone Season Review [Summaries and Track Data] [Prepared by Gary Padgett] |
A REVIEW OF THE 2009 TROPICAL CYCLONE SEASON
FOR THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE
Following is a tabular summary of all the tropical depressions,
tropical storms, hurricanes, and typhoons which occurred in the
Northern Hemisphere between 1 January and 31 December 2009, as
reported in the Monthly Global Tropical Cyclone Summaries prepared
by the author.
(1) Number - this is the sequential cyclone number assigned by either
TPC/NHC, CPHC in Honolulu, or JTWC. If neither of these
agencies issued any warnings, no number will be given.
(2) Name - the name (if any) assigned by either TPC/NHC, CPHC, IMD,
or JMA (and PAGASA for Western North Pacific systems in
their area of warning responsibility).
(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.
(4) Pressure - Lowest central pressure (either estimated or recorded)
during the lifetime of the cyclone. For Atlantic and
Northeastern Pacific systems these will be the values
reported in operational advisories from TPC/NHC or
CPHC. For Northwest Pacific systems the central
pressure estimates are taken from advisories issued by
the Japanese Meteorological Agency. An asterisk (*)
following the pressure indicates the reading was an
actual measured pressure normally obtained by a drop-
sonde released during an aerial reconnaissance
flight. Central pressure is given in millibars,
which is numerically equivalent to hectopascals.
(5) MSW - maximum 1-minute average sustained windspeed in knots.
For the Northwestern Pacific and North Indian Ocean
basins, these will be the highest value assigned
operationally by JTWC. For the Atlantic and Northeastern
Pacific basins, the MSW values are taken from the
official tropical cyclone reports prepared by the
TPC/NHC Hurricane Specialists and which are available
on TPC/NHC's website: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov .
(6) Basins - tropical cyclone basins where the cyclone tracked during
its life:
ATL - North Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea
NEP - North Pacific east of Longitude 180
NWP - North Pacific west of Longitude 180
(including South China Sea)
NIO - Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea
MED - Mediterranean Sea
For tropical systems in the NWP and NIO basins, two additional
columns of information are given:
(1) For NWP systems, the tropical storm serial number assigned by
the Japanese Meteorological Agency to tropical depressions which
are deemed to have reached tropical storm intensity is listed.
For NIO systems, the India Meteorological Department's
depression identification number is given.
(2) For NWP systems, an estimate of the maximum 10-minute average
sustained wind is listed. The value given represents the
highest 10-min avg MSW assigned by any agency. If from any
warning center other than JMA, a numbered note below identifies
which agency's value is given. For NIO systems, IMD's maximum
3-min avg sustained wind value is given.
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 five Northern Hemisphere basins.

NOTES:
(1) System did not reach tropical depression status, but became fairly
well-organized and was close to depression status as it neared the
northern Gulf of Mexico coastline.
(2) System (NRL Invest 92L) was a non-tropical LOW near and to the north
of the Azores which exhibited some subtropical cyclone features.
(3) A LOW east of Bermuda in early November exhibited some subtropical
cyclone characteristics and garnered a rating of ST3.0 on the
Hebert/Poteat scale from SAB. However, no track was prepared for
this system in the monthly cyclone tracks file.

NOTES:
(1) TD-06E formed east of 140W but had moved westward into CPHC's AOR
before reaching tropical storm intensity; hence, was named from the
list of Hawaiian names.
(2) Maka's peak intensity east of the Dateline was 35 kts. The system
weakened, but regenerated to tropical storm intensity in the NWP
basin. This based upon JTWC's analysis--JMA treated the system
as a 30-kt tropical depression throughout its history in the NWP
basin.

NOTES:
(1) This system moved inland into northwestern India, weakened, and then
subsequently moved back over the Arabian Sea. After moving back out
over water, the IMD designated it as depression ARB 02.
(2) Some of the information regarding the 3-min avg MSW and central
pressure estimates for the North Indian Ocean systems was gleaned
from the Wikipedia reports.
