Note: By 04/0600 UTC, Colin's remnants had become a trough extending from
14N/57W to 25N/60W, producing winds 20-30 kts. Reconnaissance aircraft
on the afternoon of 4 August found winds to tropical storm force in the
northeastern quadrant but no closed surface circulation.

10 AUG 16 2127 29.5 N 87.2 W 1007
Note: After weakening on 11 August, the remnant LOW of TD-05 moved inland
into Louisiana and Mississippi. The weak system then drifted northeast-
ward into central Alabama before retreating southward toward the coast.
It moved through the Florida Panhandle and back into the Gulf on the
16th. The two data points above taken from vortex messages were during
this second overwater phase. The LOW was given a high chance of
redevelopment, but this never materialized. The system became
disorganized and subsequently moved inland into southern Mississippi
once more without revelopment.

Note: A preliminary analysis by the Canadian Hurricane Center indicates
that Earl was likely still of hurricane intensity at landfall in Nova
Scotia. A station (location unknown to the author) recorded maximum
10-min mean winds of 56 kts with peak gusts to 73 kts. Converting 56 kts
to a 1-min avg MSW by the most-widely-used factor of 0.88 yields 64 kts,
and in such situations it can be argued that the sampled winds might not
have been the highest occurring within the circulation. (A special
thanks to Chris Fogarty for sending the above information.)

Note: The OPC High Seas Forecast for 0600 UTC on 4 September mentioned
a LOW at 31N/64W, 1014 mb, moving NE at 10 kts with winds to 25 kts.
This could possibly be the remnant LOW Of Fiona, but due to lack of
certainty about this, I did not include it in the above track.

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). A special thanks to Michael for his efforts.

Note: The 13/0600 UTC High Seas Forecast from JMA did not reference a
LOW with continuity to the 13/0000 UTC position. Hence, it seems likely
that ex-Dianmu was absorbed by another extratropical cyclone. Dianmu
made landfall near Pusan, South Korea, around 11/0000 UTC.

Note: SAB rendered a Dvorak rating of T4.0/4.0 at 23/2032 UTC, and
T4.5/4.5 at 24/0232 and 24/0832 UTC. This suggests that Mindulle could
possibly have been a typhoon at landfall in Vietnam.

Note: This system began in the Central Pacific where it was tagged as
Invest 93C. However, it was not classified as a tropical depression by
CPHC while east of longitude 180. SAB assigned a T2.0/2.0 rating at
30/0232 UTC, and included the remark "VERY SMALL RAPIDLY MOVING SYSTEM
HAS VERY INTERESTING MI PRESENTATION IN TMI THAT SHOWS BANDING TYPE MOAT
SHOWING GOOD ORGANIZATION AND DEEP CONVECTION WITHIN THE CDO FEATURE."
Therefore, it is possible the system had 1-min avg MSW of 30 kts.
However, SAB's rating had dropped to T1.5/2.0 six hours later, and
to T1.0/1.5 by 30/2032 UTC.

********** SPECIAL NOTE **********
I now have some assistants who are helping to prepare the monthly
tropical cyclone files, and I'd like to thank them for their willing-
ness to assist me. Kevin Boyle, of Stoke-on-Trent, UK, will be
preparing the tracks for Northwest Pacific basin tropical cyclones
during the most active part of the NWP season from June through
December.
Michael Bath, of McLeans Ridges, New South Wales, Australia, is now
preparing the track files for Australian Region and South Pacific
tropical cyclones. Also, Steve Young sends me tracks with data for
the pre-warning and post-warning stages of tropical cyclones in all
basins, prepared primarily from NCEP re-analysis data or else taken
from NRL files.
A very special thanks is due to Kevin, Michael and Steve for their
assistance.

SOURCES OF TROPICAL CYCLONE INFORMATION
The purpose of this section is to list some websites where many and
varied types of tropical cyclone information are archived. 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 Monterrey 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>
(4) Cyclone Tracking Information
--------------------------------
There is a U. S. Navy site that tracks tropical cyclones at 6-hourly
intervals which often includes pre and post-advisory positions. The
link to the site is:
http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/atcf_web/doc_archives/>
Steve Young has compiled many of these tracks onto a single webpage
which is very user-friendly:
http://home.earthlink.net/~shy9/tc1.htm>
*************************************************************************
!!!!!! 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://www.usno.navy.mil/JTWC>
SPECIAL NOTE: Back issues of the global tropical cyclone summaries
and monthly cyclone track files can be obtained at the following
websites:
ftp://ftp.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/pub/landsea/padgett/>
http://australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/>
