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 a table comparing the maximum intensities assigned to each cyclone from all the applicable warning centers in the Northwest Pacific basin. A very special thanks to Michael and Chunliang for the assistance they so reliably provide. Regarding the MSW comparison tables, Huang Chunliang has often stated: "In the title line the storm grade has been adopted based on the classification of the most 'radical' TCWC. Also, all the storm names/numbers available to me have been referenced. In addition, the starting date points to the one when the system was initially upgraded to TD status by whatever TCWC, while the ending date represents the one when the storm was last ranked as a TD or a tropical system by whatever TCWC."

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. Information was also used from tracks based upon warnings issued by the Thai Meteorological Department. 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.

A few comparisons with India's (IMD) positions are annotated. IMD never considered this to be more than an ordinary depression (winds not exceeding 25 kts). Its inclusion here is predicated upon the two 30-kt MSW estimates in the TMD track. ************************************************************************* Storm Name: BAAZ Cyclone Number: 05B Basin: NIO IMD Cyclonic Storm Number: BOB0503 Date Time Lat Lon Cent MSW MSW Remarks (GMT) Press 1-min 10-min (mb) (kts) (kts) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 05 NOV 27 1800 11.1 N 91.0 E 30 05 NOV 28 0000 11.0 N 90.5 E 30 TMD warning 05 NOV 28 0600 10.3 N 89.0 E 35 TMD: 11.2N/90.0E 05 NOV 28 1200 10.5 N 88.5 E 35 IMD position 05 NOV 28 1800 11.0 N 87.3 E 45 05 NOV 29 0000 11.4 N 87.0 E 45 TMD position 05 NOV 29 0600 11.6 N 85.6 E 45 05 NOV 29 1200 11.5 N 85.0 E 45 TMD position 05 NOV 29 1800 12.6 N 84.4 E 45 TMD: 11.5N/84.5E 05 NOV 30 0000 12.0 N 84.0 E 40 IMD & TMD position 05 NOV 30 0600 12.6 N 84.2 E 40 05 NOV 30 1200 12.5 N 84.0 E 40 IMD position 05 NOV 30 1800 12.6 N 83.8 E 45 05 DEC 01 0000 12.5 N 83.5 E 45 IMD & TMD position 05 DEC 01 0600 12.9 N 83.8 E 45 05 DEC 01 1200 12.5 N 83.0 E 40 TMD warning 05 DEC 01 1800 13.4 N 82.5 E 35 TMD: 12.5N/83.0E 05 DEC 02 0000 13.0 N 82.5 E 30 IMD position 05 DEC 02 0600 12.3 N 82.5 E 30 05 DEC 02 1200 12.0 N 81.5 E 30 TMD warnings 05 DEC 02 1800 12.0 N 80.5 E 30 05 DEC 03 0000 13.2 N 80.5 E 30 05 DEC 03 0600 12.6 N 80.0 E 25 Note: The above track with 6-hourly positions is a composite based upon warnings issued by JTWC, the Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) and the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The TMD and IMD tracks were compiled and sent to the author by Huang Chunliang (a special thanks for this effort). JTWC issued 12-hourly warnings beginning at 27/1800 UTC, and the 0600 and 1800 UTC entries are based upon that agency's warnings. The 0000 and 1200 UTC positions were taken from either IMD's or TMD's respective tracks, and were chosen to make the best continuity with JTWC's coordinates. The MSW values for the 0000 and 1200 UTC data points are basically an interpolation between JTWC's estimates for the 0600 and 1800 UTC times. The track and intensities from 02/1200 UTC onward were taken from TMD's track. The TMD and IMD tracks, as sent by Huang Chunliang, follow in their entirety for those who may wish to make their own comparisons.

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: 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: SPECIAL NOTE: Back issues of the global tropical cyclone summaries and monthly cyclone track files can be obtained at the following websites: PREPARED BY: Gary Padgett garyp@alaweb.com SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS BY: Michael V.
