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 Typhon '99 webpage sent me the PAGASA and JMA tracks for these systems--a special thanks to Michael for his assistance. ************************************************************************* Storm Name: Tropical Storm 9904 Cyclone Number: 07W Basin: NWP Date Time Lat Lon Cent MSW MSW Remarks (GMT) Press 1-min 10-min (mb) (kts) (kts) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 99 JUL 15 0000 21.6 N 153.7 E 25 99 JUL 15 0600 23.0 N 153.3 E 25 99 JUL 15 1200 23.3 N 152.9 E 30 99 JUL 15 1800 24.1 N 152.5 E 30 99 JUL 16 0000 24.4 N 151.5 E 30 30 JMA: 23.1 N, 150.5 W 99 JUL 16 0600 24.7 N 149.8 E 30 30 JMA: 23.4 N, 149.7 W 99 JUL 16 1200 25.0 N 148.9 E 30 99 JUL 16 1800 26.2 N 147.3 E 996 30 35 JMA: 25.0 N, 146.6 W 99 JUL 17 0000 26.9 N 145.9 E 996 30 35 JMA: 26.0 N, 146.3 W 99 JUL 17 0600 27.3 N 144.7 E 996 30 35 JMA: 26.1 N, 145.5 W 99 JUL 17 1200 27.8 N 143.6 E 996 25 35 JMA: 26.7 N, 144.4 W 99 JUL 17 1800 28.7 N 143.1 E 998 25 35 JMA: 28.2 N, 143.0 W 99 JUL 18 0000 28.8 N 142.4 E 25 99 JUL 18 0600 29.7 N 142.6 E 20 ************************************************************************* Storm Name: Tropical Depression Cyclone Number: 08W Basin: NWP Date Time Lat Lon Cent MSW MSW Remarks (GMT) Press 1-min 10-min (mb) (kts) (kts) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 99 JUL 21 0600 29.3 N 129.4 E 25 99 JUL 21 1200 29.9 N 128.5 E 25 99 JUL 21 1800 30.7 N 127.7 E 30 99 JUL 22 0000 32.4 N 127.5 E 30 99 JUL 22 0600 33.7 N 126.8 E 30 99 JUL 22 1200 35.0 N 126.9 E 25 Inland ************************************************************************* Storm Name: NEIL/HELMING (9905) Cyclone Number: 09W Basin: NWP Date Time Lat Lon Cent MSW MSW Remarks (GMT) Press 1-min 10-min (mb) (kts) (kts) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 99 JUL 21 0000 17.1 N 127.4 E 30 PAGASA Warning 99 JUL 21 0600 17.1 N 127.3 E 30 " " 99 JUL 21 1200 17.2 N 127.0 E 30 " " 99 JUL 21 1800 17.5 N 126.7 E 30 " " 99 JUL 22 0000 17.5 N 126.6 E 35 " " 99 JUL 22 0600 17.5 N 126.5 E 40 " " 99 JUL 22 1200 17.5 N 126.5 E 40 " " 99 JUL 22 1800 17.5 N 126.4 E 45 " " 99 JUL 23 0000 17.8 N 126.0 E 45 " " 99 JUL 23 0600 18.7 N 124.5 E 45 " " 99 JUL 23 1200 18.8 N 124.0 E 45 " " 99 JUL 23 1800 18.9 N 123.8 E 45 " " 99 JUL 24 0000 18.9 N 123.8 E 35 " " 99 JUL 24 0600 19.2 N 123.8 E 35 " " 99 JUL 24 1200 19.6 N 123.8 E 35 " " 99 JUL 24 1800 20.5 N 124.4 E 35 " " 99 JUL 25 0000 21.7 N 125.1 E 35 " " 99 JUL 25 0600 23.0 N 127.4 E 990 25 40 99 JUL 25 1200 23.9 N 128.3 E 990 30 45 99 JUL 25 1800 26.4 N 128.3 E 980 30 50 JMA: 26.3 N, 129.3 E 99 JUL 26 0000 27.3 N 128.9 E 980 35 50 JMA: 27.9 N, 129.2 E 99 JUL 26 0600 28.9 N 128.9 E 980 40 50 99 JUL 26 1200 30.1 N 128.5 E 980 40 50 JMA: 30.8 N, 129.0 E 99 JUL 26 1800 31.9 N 127.9 E 980 40 50 99 JUL 27 0000 33.6 N 127.3 E 985 35 45 99 JUL 27 0600 35.0 N 126.8 E 985 30 45 JMA: 34.3 N, 126.3 E 99 JUL 27 1200 35.8 N 126.5 E 990 25 40 JMA: 35.1 N, 125.9 E 99 JUL 27 1800 36.5 N 126.2 E 990 25 40 JMA: 35.9 N, 125.9 E 99 JUL 28 0000 37.0 N 126.3 E 25 30 99 JUL 28 0600 37.2 N 126.7 E 15 Note: Positions from 27/0600 UTC onward are inland or along the western Korean coast. ************************************************************************* Storm Name: Tropical Storm 9906 Cyclone Number: 10W Basin: NWP Date Time Lat Lon Cent MSW MSW Remarks (GMT) Press 1-min 10-min (mb) (kts) (kts) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 99 JUL 26 1800 20.5 N 113.7 E 25 99 JUL 27 0000 21.3 N 114.5 E 985 25 40 99 JUL 27 0600 22.6 N 115.4 E 990 25 35 JMA: 22.9 N, 116.2 E 99 JUL 27 1200 24.2 N 117.4 E 992 35 JMA Warning 99 JUL 27 1800 25.6 N 117.6 E 994 35 " " Note: The 27/0600 UTC position (per JTWC) was located on the Chinese coast about 60 nm east-northeast of Hong Kong.

JMA's values were lower during this period. The 10-min MSW values from 01/0600 UTC onward were taken from JMA's warnings since PAGASA's AOR ends at latitude 25N.

For weaker systems not in warning status by JTWC, information gleaned from the twice-daily issuances of the Indian Meteorological Depart- ment (IMD) was used to complete the tracks. These bulletins usually give analyzed center positions at either 0300 or 0600 UTC and 1200 or 1500 UTC. 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. For synoptic observations in the North Indian region, both 10-min and 3-min average winds are employed, but IMD makes no attempt to modify the Dvorak scale for estimating tropical cyclone intensity; hence, a 1-min avg MSW is implied. In the North Indian basin JTWC usually does not initiate warnings until a system is well-organized and it is likely to attain tropical storm status within 48 hours. Windspeeds are usually not reported in the IMD bulletins. Systems are usually classified as depressions, deep depressions, or cyclonic storms. For depressions I assigned a MSW of 25 kts and for deep depressions 30 kts. If the early stages of a system were referred to as a low-pressure area, I assigned 20 kts. ************************************************************************* Storm Name: Tropical Depression Cyclone Number: None Basin: NIO Date Time Lat Lon Cent MSW MSW Remarks (GMT) Press 1-min 10-min (mb) (kts) (kts) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 99 JUL 27 0300 21.0 N 89.0 E 25 99 JUL 28 1200 23.5 N 84.5 E 25 Inland - See Note Note: Very little information is available about this system, which was classified as a depression only by IMD.
