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.

10 OCT 30 1200 25.5 N 44.3 W 1011 25
Note: This system was a long-lived disturbance which originated very deep
in the tropics southeast of the Cape Verde Islands and interacted with
an upper-level trough. The above track is based on the "working" Best
Track file taken from NHC's FTP site. Interest in the system centers on
the night of 27-28 October when convection had been increasing slightly
near the sheared center, and an ASCAT pass revealed the existence of
35-kt wind vectors. Advisories were almost initiated on what would
have been Tropical Storm Shary, but since by the 28/0300 UTC advisory
time the convection was beginning to wane and the center appeared to be
somewhat elongated, the decision was made to wait and see if convective
organization returned before upgrading. Continued weakening ensued so
the system was not named. About 24 hours later another disturbance
to the west became Tropical Storm Shary.
As the above track shows, the existence of gales was substantiated, and
the LOW did not appear to be frontal. There is a possibility that this
system could be added as an unnamed tropical storm pending further
analysis.

Note: The OPC High Seas warning for 31/1200 UTC did not reference any
LOW which could be connected with Post-tropical Shary, so it appears
that the former tropical cyclone was absorbed by an advancing cold front.

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.

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: Whether or not this system crossed Hainan Dao depends on whose
coordinates one wants to accept. JTWC has the depression crossing the
island and becoming stationary just to the north in the narrow strait
between the island and the Leizhou Peninsula. JMA keeps the center
pretty much west of the island in the Gulf of Tonkin.

Note: The highest MSW assigned by JTWC for STY Megi were 155 kts, but the
17/1800 UTC warning indicates that the storm likely reached a peak
intensity of 160-165 kts between 1200 and 1800 UTC. Following is some
information on the peak winds measured by a SFMR instrument onboard a
reconnaissance aircraft supplied by Dr. Karl Hoarau:
"The more reliable was 169 knots at 1302Z and then 165 knots at 1318Z.
The SFMR recorded 171 knots at 1113Z, 173 knots at 1203Z, 170 knots at
1303Z, 172 knots at 1317Z. But the quality code of 05 meant that the
temperature, the dew point temperature and the SFMR were questionable.
The 169 knots at 1302Z and then 165 knots at 1318Z had a good quality
data. Moreover, the 700 hPa flight wind was at 190 knots. Using 90%
of the flight wind, this gave a surface wind of 170 knots."
A dropsonde released in the eyewall reported 174 kts at the surface, but
the duration of this wind is unknown.
These observations from the SFMR are of inestimable value, recording such
high winds at the surface in a tropical cyclone. Hopefully, this will
help to dispel the notion that no typhoon since STY Tip of 1979 has had
winds exceeding 160 kts (several have had better satellite signatures).

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.

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.

NORTHWEST AUSTRALIA/SOUTHEAST INDIAN OCEAN (AUW) - Longitude 90E to 135E
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 the Tropical Cyclone Warning Centres at Perth, Western
Australia, and Darwin, Northern Territory. 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 the Australian centres and
annotations made in the Remarks column when the differences in general
amounted to 40-50 nm or more.
A TCWC at Jakarta, Indonesia, is the official warning centre for
tropical cyclones tracking in this region north of 10S. The entire
track for Tropical Cyclone Anggrek is based on positions taken from
technical bulletins issued by BoM Perth, but comparisons with
Jakarta are annotated for the relevant portion of Anggrek's track.

********** 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/>
