GLOBAL TROPICAL CYCLONE TRACKS - NOVEMBER 2006 !!!! IMPORTANT -- PLEASE SEE NOTE AT END OF FILE !!!! ************************************************************************* NORTHEAST PACIFIC (NEP) - North Pacific Ocean East of Longitude 180 Sources of Information ---------------------- 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 in Miami, Florida, for locations east of longitude 140W, and from the Central Pacific Hurricane Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, for locations west of longitude 140W. A 1-minute averaging period is the standard used by all U. S. civilian and military warning services for tropical cyclone warnings.

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.

However, out of respect for the SAB analysts who assigned Dvorak tropical classification numbers for part of the cyclone's history, I have attempted to create a track. At the time of the first SAB satellite bulletin on 6 November there was Quik- Scat data available supporting winds of 45-50 kts. After this point the 1-min avg MSW values given in the table above are my own estimates based on the SAB classifications. The 10-min avg MSW values, as usual for the NWP basin, are taken from JMA's High Seas Bulletins. SAB requested JTWC to open a formal invest number for this system, but JTWC refused to do so; hence, the number 99W was used by SAB alone. ************************************************************************* Storm Name: CHEBI Cyclone Number: 23W Basin: NWP PAGASA Internal Name: QUEENIE JMA Tropical Storm Number: 0620 Date Time Lat Lon Cent MSW MSW Remarks (GMT) Press 1-min 10-min (mb) (kts) (kts) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 06 NOV 08 1200 15.5 N 135.0 E 1000 30 PAGASA warning 06 NOV 08 1800 16.0 N 134.0 E 1000 30 " 06 NOV 09 0000 15.5 N 132.7 E 1008 25 30 06 NOV 09 0600 15.5 N 131.4 E 1006 30 30 06 NOV 09 1200 15.9 N 130.1 E 1000 45 35 06 NOV 09 1800 16.0 N 128.6 E 994 45 45 06 NOV 10 0000 16.1 N 127.1 E 985 55 55 06 NOV 10 0600 16.2 N 125.6 E 945 115 95 06 NOV 10 1200 16.2 N 124.2 E 925 125 105 06 NOV 10 1800 16.3 N 122.7 E 930 115 100 06 NOV 11 0000 15.9 N 121.6 E 940 105 95 Over Luzon 06 NOV 11 0600 16.1 N 120.3 E 960 90 80 Entering S.

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.
