The weak system then drifted northeast- ward into central Alabama before retreating southward toward the coast. It moved through the Florida Panhandle and back into the Gulf on the 16th. The two data points above taken from vortex messages were during this second overwater phase. The LOW was given a high chance of redevelopment, but this never materialized. The system became disorganized and subsequently moved inland into southern Mississippi once more without revelopment. ************************************************************************* Storm Name: DANIELLE Cyclone Number: 06 Basin: ATL Date Time Lat Lon Cent MSW MSW Remarks (GMT) Press 1-min 10-min (mb) (kts) (kts) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 AUG 21 1800 10.8 N 31.8 W 1008 25 10 AUG 22 0000 11.2 N 32.3 W 1008 30 10 AUG 22 0600 11.8 N 33.0 W 1007 30 10 AUG 22 1200 12.2 N 33.9 W 1007 30 10 AUG 22 1800 13.2 N 34.6 W 1005 35 10 AUG 23 0000 14.0 N 35.3 W 1000 45 10 AUG 23 0600 14.5 N 36.5 W 997 50 10 AUG 23 1200 14.8 N 38.7 W 994 55 10 AUG 23 1800 15.2 N 40.7 W 987 65 10 AUG 24 0000 15.5 N 42.3 W 982 75 10 AUG 24 0600 15.7 N 44.0 W 973 85 10 AUG 24 1200 16.1 N 45.8 W 985 70 10 AUG 24 1800 17.1 N 47.5 W 993 60 10 AUG 25 0000 17.9 N 49.1 W 990 65 10 AUG 25 0600 18.5 N 50.3 W 982 75 10 AUG 25 1200 19.3 N 51.7 W 982 75 10 AUG 25 1800 20.6 N 52.7 W 982 75 10 AUG 26 0000 22.0 N 53.6 W 975 85 10 AUG 26 0600 23.0 N 54.4 W 968 90 10 AUG 26 1200 24.0 N 55.4 W 970 90 10 AUG 26 1800 24.8 N 56.4 W 968 95 10 AUG 27 0000 25.5 N 57.2 W 965 95 10 AUG 27 0600 26.2 N 58.3 W 955 105 10 AUG 27 1200 26.6 N 59.4 W 946 115 10 AUG 27 1800 27.1 N 60.1 W 942 115 10 AUG 28 0000 27.7 N 60.4 W 942 115 10 AUG 28 0600 28.3 N 61.1 W 950 105 10 AUG 28 1200 28.9 N 60.8 W 950 95 10 AUG 28 1800 29.6 N 60.2 W 950 95 10 AUG 29 0000 30.9 N 59.2 W 958 90 10 AUG 29 0600 32.3 N 57.9 W 972 80 10 AUG 29 1200 34.7 N 56.1 W 976 75 10 AUG 29 1800 37.3 N 55.0 W 977 70 10 AUG 30 0000 38.8 N 53.7 W 980 70 10 AUG 30 0600 40.0 N 52.5 W 984 65 10 AUG 30 1200 40.6 N 51.7 W 970 65 10 AUG 30 1800 41.0 N 50.1 W 973 60 10 AUG 31 0000 41.2 N 48.0 W 975 60 Final NHC advisory 10 AUG 31 0600 41.0 N 45.0 W 985 55 Post-tropical 10 AUG 31 1200 42.0 N 41.0 W 988 55 10 AUG 31 1800 43.0 N 36.0 W 988 55 10 SEP 01 0000 44.0 N 34.0 W 988 See Note 10 SEP 01 0600 45.0 N 28.0 W 992 10 SEP 01 1200 46.0 N 25.0 W 994 10 SEP 01 1800 47.0 N 23.0 W 993 10 SEP 02 0000 49.0 N 20.0 W 996 10 SEP 02 0600 51.0 N 20.0 W 998 10 SEP 02 1200 53.0 N 21.0 W 999 10 SEP 02 1800 55.0 N 22.0 W 998 10 SEP 03 0000 56.0 N 25.0 W 999 Note: The positions and CP values from 01/0000 UTC forward were sent by Kevin Boyle and are taken from the UK Meteorological Service's warnings. ************************************************************************* Storm Name: EARL Cyclone Number: 07 Basin: ATL Date Time Lat Lon Cent MSW MSW Remarks (GMT) Press 1-min 10-min (mb) (kts) (kts) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 AUG 25 1200 14.2 N 30.3 W 1007 30 10 AUG 25 1800 14.3 N 31.5 W 1006 35 10 AUG 26 0000 14.6 N 32.8 W 1006 35 10 AUG 26 0600 15.0 N 34.1 W 1004 40 10 AUG 26 1200 14.8 N 36.3 W 1004 40 10 AUG 26 1800 15.1 N 38.0 W 1003 40 10 AUG 27 0000 15.4 N 39.6 W 1003 40 10 AUG 27 0600 15.7 N 40.9 W 1003 40 10 AUG 27 1200 15.7 N 42.6 W 1003 40 10 AUG 27 1800 15.7 N 45.1 W 1003 40 10 AUG 28 0000 15.9 N 47.0 W 1003 40 10 AUG 28 0600 15.6 N 49.2 W 1002 45 10 AUG 28 1200 15.8 N 51.0 W 999 50 10 AUG 28 1800 16.2 N 53.3 W 1000 48 10 AUG 29 0000 16.5 N 54.6 W 989 55 10 AUG 29 0600 16.7 N 56.2 W 989 55 10 AUG 29 1200 17.1 N 57.7 W 985 60 10 AUG 29 1800 17.4 N 58.9 W 978 65 10 AUG 30 0000 17.7 N 60.4 W 972 75 10 AUG 30 0600 18.1 N 61.8 W 969 85 10 AUG 30 1200 18.5 N 63.0 W 965 95 10 AUG 30 1800 19.0 N 64.2 W 955 110 10 AUG 31 0000 19.6 N 65.2 W 939 115 10 AUG 31 0600 20.0 N 66.3 W 932 115 10 AUG 31 1200 20.8 N 67.4 W 933 115 10 AUG 31 1800 21.5 N 68.3 W 940 115 10 SEP 01 0000 22.6 N 69.2 W 940 115 10 SEP 01 0600 23.5 N 70.6 W 942 115 10 SEP 01 1200 24.5 N 71.6 W 943 110 10 SEP 01 1800 25.7 N 72.7 W 941 110 10 SEP 02 0000 27.1 N 73.4 W 941 115 10 SEP 02 0600 28.6 N 74.4 W 930 120 10 SEP 02 1200 30.1 N 74.8 W 932 125 10 SEP 02 1800 31.7 N 75.2 W 943 110 10 SEP 03 0000 33.0 N 74.7 W 948 95 10 SEP 03 0600 34.6 N 74.4 W 955 90 10 SEP 03 1200 36.2 N 73.5 W 955 90 10 SEP 03 1800 37.5 N 72.5 W 961 70 10 SEP 04 0000 38.9 N 70.9 W 961 65 10 SEP 04 0600 40.8 N 68.3 W 960 60 10 SEP 04 1200 43.0 N 65.7 W 965 60 See Note 10 SEP 04 1800 46.0 N 63.3 W 965 60 10 SEP 05 0000 49.7 N 60.3 W 966 55 10 SEP 05 0300 50.7 N 59.2 W 970 55 Final NHC advisory 10 SEP 05 1200 52.0 N 56.0 W 987 40 10 SEP 06 0000 55.0 N 54.0 W 992 35 10 SEP 06 1200 57.0 N 55.0 W 992 35 10 SEP 06 1800 57.0 N 55.0 W 993 35 10 SEP 07 0600 57.0 N 55.0 W 994 35 10 SEP 07 1200 56.0 N 55.0 W 997 35 10 SEP 07 1800 55.0 N 55.0 W 1001 35 10 SEP 08 0600 52.0 N 52.0 W 1001 25 10 SEP 08 1200 51.0 N 50.0 W 1001 30 10 SEP 08 1800 51.0 N 48.0 W 1001 30 10 SEP 09 0600 50.0 N 39.0 W 1002 30 10 SEP 09 1200 49.0 N 37.0 W 1004 30 10 SEP 09 1800 50.0 N 33.0 W 1005 25 10 SEP 10 0000 51.0 N 28.0 W 1005 25 Note: A preliminary analysis by the Canadian Hurricane Center indicates that Earl was likely still of hurricane intensity at landfall in Nova Scotia. A station (location unknown to the author) recorded maximum 10-min mean winds of 56 kts with peak gusts to 73 kts. Converting 56 kts to a 1-min avg MSW by the most-widely-used factor of 0.88 yields 64 kts, and in such situations it can be argued that the sampled winds might not have been the highest occurring within the circulation.

Ship A8CG6 reported 40 kts at 30/1800 UTC. ************************************************************************* Storm Name: None Cyclone Number: None Basin: NWP PAGASA Internal Name: None JMA Tropical Storm Number: None Date Time Lat Lon Cent MSW MSW Remarks (GMT) Press 1-min 10-min (mb) (kts) (kts) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 AUG 29 1800 7.0 N 179.0 E 1010 25 JMA Bulletins 10 AUG 30 0000 7.0 N 178.0 E 1010 25 10 AUG 30 0600 6.0 N 176.0 E 1008 25 10 AUG 30 1200 7.0 N 174.0 E 1010 25 10 AUG 30 1800 8.0 N 173.0 E 1010 25 10 AUG 31 0000 8.0 N 171.0 E 1012 25 10 AUG 31 0600 10.0 N 170.0 E 1010 25 10 AUG 31 1200 10.0 N 167.0 E 1012 25 10 AUG 31 1800 10.0 N 166.0 E 1012 25 Note: This system began in the Central Pacific where it was tagged as Invest 93C. However, it was not classified as a tropical depression by CPHC while east of longitude 180. SAB assigned a T2.0/2.0 rating at 30/0232 UTC, and included the remark "VERY SMALL RAPIDLY MOVING SYSTEM HAS VERY INTERESTING MI PRESENTATION IN TMI THAT SHOWS BANDING TYPE MOAT SHOWING GOOD ORGANIZATION AND DEEP CONVECTION WITHIN THE CDO FEATURE." Therefore, it is possible the system had 1-min avg MSW of 30 kts. However, SAB's rating had dropped to T1.5/2.0 six hours later, and to T1.0/1.5 by 30/2032 UTC. ************************************************************************* ************************************************************************* ********** SPECIAL NOTE ********** I now have some assistants who are helping to prepare the monthly tropical cyclone files, and I'd like to thank them for their willing- ness to assist me. Kevin Boyle, of Stoke-on-Trent, UK, will be preparing the tracks for Northwest Pacific basin tropical cyclones during the most active part of the NWP season from June through December. Michael Bath, of McLeans Ridges, New South Wales, Australia, is now preparing the track files for Australian Region and South Pacific tropical cyclones. Also, Steve Young sends me tracks with data for the pre-warning and post-warning stages of tropical cyclones in all basins, prepared primarily from NCEP re-analysis data or else taken from NRL files. A very special thanks is due to Kevin, Michael and Steve for their assistance. ************************************************************************* SOURCES OF TROPICAL CYCLONE INFORMATION The purpose of this section is to list some websites where many and varied types of tropical cyclone information are archived. Many readers will know about these already, but for the benefit of those who don't, I wanted to include them. (1) Aircraft Reconnaissance Information --------------------------------------- Various types of messages from reconnaissance aircraft may be retrieved from the following FTP site: Information regarding how to interpret the coded reconnaissance messages may be found at the following URL: Links are also included to websites with further information about the U. S. Air Force 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron and the NOAA Air- craft Operations Center. (2) Archived Advisories ----------------------- All the advisory products (public advisories, forecast/advisories, strike probabilities, discussions, various graphics) issued by TPC/NHC are archived on TPC's website. For the current year (using 2004 as an example), the archived products can be found at: Links to tropical products archives for earlier years are available at the following URL: JTWC warnings for past storms are archived on the NRL Monterrey website: On the NRL site, the link to past years can be found in the upper left corner of the screen. I am not aware at the moment of any other TCWC which archives all its tropical cyclone warning/advisory products for public access, but if I learn of any, I will add them to this list. (3) Satellite Imagery --------------------- Satellite images of tropical cyclones in various sensor bands are available on the NRL Monterrey and University of Wisconsin websites, courtesy of Jeff Hawkins and Chris Velden and their associates. The links are: On the NRL site, the link to past years can be found in the upper left corner of the screen. For the CIMSS site, a link to data archives is located in the lower left portion of the screen. Additional tropical satellite imagery, along with looping ability for composite microwave imagery for the Western Hemisphere north of the equator, can be found at: (1) For the Eastern North Pacific: (2) For the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea: (4) Cyclone Tracking Information -------------------------------- There is a U. S. Navy site that tracks tropical cyclones at 6-hourly intervals which often includes pre and post-advisory positions. The link to the site is: Steve Young has compiled many of these tracks onto a single webpage which is very user-friendly: ************************************************************************* !!!!!! 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 Kevin Boyle michaelpace@btinternet.com Michael Bath mbath@ozemail.com.au SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS BY: Michael V.
