GARY PADGETT'S GLOBAL TROPICAL CYCLONE TRACKS - OCTOBER 2000 ATLANTIC (ATL) - North Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico NOTE: The tracking and intensity information for Atlantic Basin tropical cyclones is based upon operational advisories from the Tropical Prediction Center/National Hurricane Center, located in Miami, Florida, USA. The MSW are based on a 1-min averaging period, which is used by all U.S. civilian and military weather services for tropical cyclone warnings. A special thanks to David Roth for sending me tracks for two subtropical systems plus the early subtropical stages of Hurricane Michael; and also to Michael Pitt for sending some tracking information on the subtropical storm in late October.

The pressures and winds reported are based completely upon ship and buoy observations. A slight smoothing was applied to the track. The slight diminution in the winds at 02/0600 and 1800 UTC is due to the lack of a report of gale-force winds at those times. ************************************************************************* Storm Name: LESLIE Cyclone Number: 16 Basin: ATL (Initially identified as Subtropical Depression Number One.)

David also reported positions based on his analysis for 17/0000 and 17/0600 UTC which differed slightly from the synoptic hour positions in the official advisories, as noted above. David indicates that the winds and pressures he reported are based solely on ship reports. The "weakening" in the intensity after 16/0600 UTC is due to fewer ships roaming through the cyclone's neighborhood. Also, at 17/0000 UTC, which was the time of NHC's first advisory on TD-17, David's track reports a maximum wind of 45 kts, presumably based upon a ship report. All information presented after the final NHC advisory was gleaned from the High Seas Warnings and Forecasts issued by MPC. The first two positions likewise were obtained from the High Seas Warnings and Forecasts in the section prepared by TPC. It should be noted that the pre-Michael system was treated as a gale in the High Seas Warnings with winds to 35 kts. ************************************************************************* Storm Name: NADINE Cyclone Number: 18 Basin: ATL Date Time Lat Lon Cent MSW MSW Remarks (GMT) Press 1-min 10-min (mb) (kts) (kts) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00 OCT 19 1800 27.5 N 59.5 W 1008 30 00 OCT 20 0000 28.4 N 58.7 W 1010 30 00 OCT 20 0600 29.4 N 58.0 W 1008 30 00 OCT 20 1200 30.4 N 57.4 W 1004 35 00 OCT 20 1800 31.5 N 56.7 W 1002 40 00 OCT 21 0000 32.4 N 55.1 W 997 50 00 OCT 21 0600 33.4 N 53.3 W 997 50 00 OCT 21 1200 34.7 N 51.8 W 997 50 00 OCT 21 1800 34.8 N 51.3 W 1000 45 00 OCT 22 0000 35.7 N 50.5 W 1000 45 Final NHC Advisory 00 OCT 22 0600 37.0 N 50.0 W 1002 50 Extratropical/See Note 00 OCT 22 1200 40.0 N 47.0 W 1006 50 00 OCT 22 1800 43.0 N 42.0 W 1006 55 00 OCT 23 0000 44.0 N 41.0 W 1002 55 00 OCT 23 0600 46.0 N 36.0 W 1000 55 00 OCT 23 1200 49.0 N 34.0 W 1000 55 00 OCT 23 1800 50.0 N 33.0 W 1000 50 Note: All information regarding the extratropical stage of Nadine was taken from the High Seas Warnings and Forecasts issued by MPC. ************************************************************************* Storm Name: None Cyclone Number: None Basin: ATL (System was primarily subtropical in nature--track by David Roth.)

A minimal gale center remained in the same general area where the track above ends for several days--by 5 Nov it had drifted a bit to the east. I chose to end the track since the system was never a tropical cyclone in the first place, and since it basically sat over the same spot for the better part of a week without any significant change in intensity. Michael Pitt, a Weather Technician with the U. S. Navy, also sent me a track which contains some satellite classifications from SAB. ST numbers (from the Hebert/Poteat satellite classification scheme for subtropical cyclones) reached ST2.5: 35-40 kts on 26 Oct, and later reached the top of the scale at ST3.5: 55-65 kts on 28 Oct. (Thanks to Michael and David for the information they sent me.) ************************************************************************* ************************************************************************* NORTHEAST PACIFIC (NEP) - North Pacific Ocean East of Longitude 180 NOTE: The tracking and intensity information for Northeast Pacific Basin tropical cyclones is based upon operational advisories from the Tropical Prediction Center/National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida, for systems east of Longitude 140W; and from the Central Pacific Hurricane Center, Honolulu, Hawaii, for systems west of Longitude 140W.

Comparisons were made with track coordinates given in advisories from the meteorological services of Japan (JMA) and the Philippines (PAGASA). In general, whenever the center position differed by more than 40-50 nm from JTWC's, an entry was made in the Remarks column. The 1-min avg MSW were taken from the JTWC advisories while the 10-min avg MSW were obtained from PAGASA's advisories if the storm were in PAGASA's area of responsibility; otherwise, they were gleaned from JMA's advisories or high seas forecasts. In a few cases the 10-min MSW given by PAGASA and JMA did not agree; in those cases I reported the higher value. The estimates of central pressure were obtained from JMA's advisories. Michael V. Padua, owner of the Typhoon 2000 webpage sent me the PAGASA and JMA tracks for these systems--a special thanks to Michael for his assistance. A track is included for one system for which no warnings were issued by any official agency. This track was supplied by Dr. Mark Lander of the University of Guam, and I have allotted the Greek letter "Xi" to identify this system. A special thanks to Mark for sending me the information.
