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 was 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 '99 webpage sent me the PAGASA and JMA tracks for these systems--a special thanks to Michael for his assistance. ************************************************************************* Storm Name: DAN/PEPANG (9920) Cyclone Number: 26W Basin: NWP Date Time Lat Lon Cent MSW MSW Remarks (GMT) Press 1-min 10-min (mb) (kts) (kts) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 99 OCT 02 1200 16.7 N 132.7 E 1008 25 30 99 OCT 02 1800 17.0 N 131.5 E 1008 30 30 99 OCT 03 0000 17.6 N 130.1 E 1006 35 30 99 OCT 03 0600 18.1 N 129.4 E 1006 35 30 99 OCT 03 1200 18.5 N 128.6 E 998 45 35 99 OCT 03 1800 18.4 N 127.8 E 990 55 45 99 OCT 04 0000 18.4 N 126.6 E 985 60 50 99 OCT 04 0600 18.3 N 125.4 E 975 65 65 99 OCT 04 1200 18.4 N 124.5 E 970 80 70 99 OCT 04 1800 18.2 N 123.5 E 965 90 70 99 OCT 05 0000 18.2 N 122.5 E 960 110 80 99 OCT 05 0600 18.4 N 121.3 E 960 100 80 Over northern Luzon 99 OCT 05 1200 18.5 N 120.0 E 965 90 70 99 OCT 05 1800 18.5 N 119.7 E 965 90 70 99 OCT 06 0000 18.5 N 118.9 E 965 85 70 99 OCT 06 0600 18.6 N 118.4 E 965 80 70 99 OCT 06 1200 19.0 N 117.7 E 965 80 70 PAGASA: 18.9 N, 118.5 E 99 OCT 06 1800 19.5 N 117.7 E 970 80 65 99 OCT 07 0000 20.0 N 117.6 E 970 85 65 99 OCT 07 0600 20.3 N 117.8 E 965 90 70 99 OCT 07 1200 20.7 N 118.1 E 960 90 75 99 OCT 07 1800 21.3 N 118.3 E 960 90 75 99 OCT 08 0000 21.8 N 118.1 E 965 90 70 99 OCT 08 0600 22.3 N 117.8 E 965 90 70 99 OCT 08 1200 22.6 N 118.0 E 965 90 70 99 OCT 08 1800 23.3 N 118.2 E 965 90 70 99 OCT 09 0000 24.0 N 118.2 E 975 85 60 99 OCT 09 0600 24.7 N 118.0 E 980 75 50 Inland over China 99 OCT 09 1200 25.8 N 118.2 E 990 55 40 99 OCT 09 1800 26.3 N 118.3 E 1000 35 30 99 OCT 10 0000 27.2 N 119.1 E 25 99 OCT 10 0600 28.3 N 120.2 E 25 99 OCT 10 1200 30.1 N 121.7 E 25 On coast near Shanghai 99 OCT 10 1800 31.1 N 123.4 E 20 Back over water 99 OCT 11 0000 33.1 N 125.4 E 20 Note: The storm position coordinates from JTWC, JMA, and PAGASA were in remarkably good agreement for this cyclone, even during the early formative stages. ************************************************************************* Storm Name: EVE/RENING (9921) Cyclone Number: 27W Basin: NWP Date Time Lat Lon Cent MSW MSW Remarks (GMT) Press 1-min 10-min (mb) (kts) (kts) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 99 OCT 15 0000 11.3 N 130.0 E 1008 30 PAGASA Warning 99 OCT 15 0600 11.2 N 127.7 E 1004 25 30 JMA: 12.0 N, 127.0 E 99 OCT 15 1200 11.3 N 126.4 E 1004 25 30 JMA: 12.0 N, 126.0 E 99 OCT 15 1800 11.7 N 125.5 E 1006 25 30 JMA: 12.0 N, 124.0 E 99 OCT 16 0000 12.2 N 124.3 E 1006 25 25 JMA: 13.0 N, 123.0 E 99 OCT 16 0600 13.4 N 122.4 E 1004 25 25 PAGASA: 14.1 N, 122.6 E 99 OCT 16 1200 14.2 N 121.2 E 1004 25 25 JMA: 15.0 N, 122.0 E 99 OCT 16 1800 14.6 N 119.9 E 1004 25 35 JMA: 15.0 N, 121.0 E 99 OCT 17 0000 15.0 N 119.1 E 1000 30 30 PAGASA: 15.3 N, 120.1 E 99 OCT 17 0600 15.4 N 118.9 E 998 30 35 99 OCT 17 1200 15.9 N 118.3 E 996 30 35 99 OCT 17 1800 16.3 N 117.5 E 996 30 35 PAGASA: 17.3 N, 117.2 E 99 OCT 18 0000 17.5 N 116.3 E 990 30 40 99 OCT 18 0600 17.1 N 114.5 E 992 30 40 JMA: 17.3 N, 115.1 E 99 OCT 18 1200 17.1 N 113.1 E 992 30 40 99 OCT 18 1800 16.6 N 111.4 E 992 35 40 JMA: 16.7 N, 112.0 E 99 OCT 19 0000 15.6 N 109.6 E 990 45 45 99 OCT 19 0600 15.3 N 108.9 E 990 35 45 On coast of Vietnam 99 OCT 19 1200 16.1 N 107.8 E 994 30 35 JMA: 17.0 N, 108.9 E 99 OCT 19 1800 17.3 N 107.9 E 994 35 JMA Warning 99 OCT 20 0000 17.3 N 106.5 E 996 35 " 99 OCT 20 0600 18.0 N 105.3 E 1004 30 " Note: In contrast to Typhoon Dan/Pepang (9920), there was considerable divergence in the center position coordinates between JTWC, PAGASA, and JMA for this system.
