************************************************************************* 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). 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.

That this depression was very diffuse and poorly-defined is evidenced by the considerable disparity between the center coordinates issued by JMA, GRMC, CWB and the Thai Meteorological Department. The track through 13/0600 UTC is based upon JMA's bulletins with the largest discrepancy annotated. Beginning at 13/1200 UTC the track is based upon bulletins from the Thai Meteorological Department (TMD). This system was the predecessor of the later Cyclonic Storm Pyarr in the Bay of Bengal. The TMD was the only agency to track the system continuously as a depression from its birth in the South China Sea until its demise inland in India. Huang Chunliang kindly supplied me with the entire TMD track, but I have split it into two segments at 100E; the latter portion will be covered in the North Indian Ocean basin. Following is the MSW comparison table compiled and sent by Huang Chunliang. This includes the entire life cycle of the system. (In the South China Sea its NRL invest number was 93W; in the Bay of Bengal it was 96B.) ================================================================== == Cyclonic Storm 93W/96B/PYARR/BOB0502 (September 12-22, 2005) == ================================================================== TCWC STORM ID PEAK MSW (kt) -------------------------------------------------------------- JMA Tropical Depression 30* HKO Tropical Depression 30* CWB Tropical Depression --# TMD Tropical Depression 30 IMD Cyclonic Storm BOB0502 (PYARR) 35-45 Note 1: During Phase 1 (Tropical Depression 93W in SCS), GRMC (Guangzhou), HKO (Hong Kong), CWB (Taipei), SMG (Macao), JMA (Tokyo) & TMD (Bangkok) all classified the system as a TD, while JTWC (Honolulu) ranked it as a tropical disturbance only. GRMC even forecast the TD to intensify into a TS in a couple of bulletins, but this never materialized before the system moved out of their AOR, though. Note 2: During Phase 2 (Cyclonic Storm 96B in BOB), Both IMD (New Delhi) and PMD (Islamabad) classified the system as a CS, while TMD (Bangkok) ranked it as a TD only. Note 3(*): The MSW is merely the "peak" value based on the limited warnings released only when the system was travelling within the restricted AOR, so it could have not been the real peak. Note 4(#): CWB normally doesn't make any wind estimations for tropical depressions. ************************************************************************* Storm Name: VICENTE Cyclone Number: 16W

************************************************************************* ************************************************************************* 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.

Following is the MSW comparison table compiled and sent by Huang Chunliang for the entire system's history. (The same table is included with the track of the aforementioned South China Sea depression.) JTWC issued no warnings on Cyclonic Storm Pyarr, it being treated as a 'poor' area in a couple of STWOs. Satellite classifications from SAB justified tropical storm intensity for Pyarr, peaking at T3.0/3.0 (45 kts) at 18/0230 UTC. ================================================================== == Cyclonic Storm 93W/96B/PYARR/BOB0502 (September 12-22, 2005) == ================================================================== TCWC STORM ID PEAK MSW (kt) -------------------------------------------------------------- JMA Tropical Depression 30* HKO Tropical Depression 30* CWB Tropical Depression --# TMD Tropical Depression 30 IMD Cyclonic Storm BOB0502 (PYARR) 35-45 Note 1: During Phase 1 (Tropical Depression 93W in SCS), GRMC (Guangzhou), HKO (Hong Kong), CWB (Taipei), SMG (Macao), JMA (Tokyo) & TMD (Bangkok) all classified the system as a TD, while JTWC (Honolulu) ranked it as a tropical disturbance only. GRMC even forecast the TD to intensify into a TS in a couple of bulletins, but this never materialized before the system moved out of their AOR, though. Note 2: During Phase 2 (Cyclonic Storm 96B in BOB), Both IMD (New Delhi) and PMD (Islamabad) classified the system as a CS, while TMD (Bangkok) ranked it as a TD only. Note 3(*): The MSW is merely the "peak" value based on the limited warnings released only when the system was travelling within the restricted AOR, so it could have not been the real peak. Note 4(#): CWB normally doesn't make any wind estimations for tropical depressions. ************************************************************************* ************************************************************************* 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.

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.
