I am including preliminary tracks on these systems which were prepared by two young and rather knowledgeable tropical cyclone enthusiasts. Some sketchy information on each follows the tracks. In keeping with the policy I established last month, I have chosen to unofficially refer to these systems with letters of the Greek alphabet. These Greek letter designations are just for the purpose of having some "handle" by which to refer to interesting systems which are both unnamed and unnumbered. Any person doing further research or analysis on them is free to use the names if they choose-- they need not feel compelled to do so. ************************************************************************* Storm Name: TD "DELTA" Cyclone Number: None Basin: ATL (Track is a composite of data supplied by Steve Filoso of Phoenix, Arizona, and information gleaned from Tropical Weather Discussions issued by TPC/TAFB.)

I have since learned from Chris Landsea that Jack is seeking surface wind observations taken in the vicinity of this system to see if there is justification for writing it up as an unnamed tropical storm. I know that John Wallace based his estimate of 35-kt winds for 14-15 Sep on CIMSS low-level wind analyses which yielded winds of 35-40 kts in the lower levels (but not necessarily at the surface) and at some distance from the center of the cyclone. This LOW did exhibit a very well-defined, tight LLCC but with deep convection sheared well away to the east. In the author's opinion, it was the lack of central convection which largely was responsible for TPC/NHC not classifying this system at least as a tropical depression operationally. ************************************************************************* ************************************************************************* 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 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: YORK/NENENG (9915) Cyclone Number: 21W Basin: NWP Date Time Lat Lon Cent MSW MSW Remarks (GMT) Press 1-min 10-min (mb) (kts) (kts) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 99 SEP 10 0600 15.6 N 123.5 E 1004 30 PAGASA Warning 99 SEP 10 1200 15.6 N 123.0 E 1004 30 " 99 SEP 10 1800 16.1 N 122.0 E 1004 25 " 99 SEP 11 0000 16.8 N 121.6 E 1002 25 " 99 SEP 11 0600 16.9 N 121.4 E 1002 25 " 99 SEP 11 1200 16.0 N 123.5 E 1000 30 " - Relocated 99 SEP 11 1800 16.2 N 123.7 E 1000 25 30 99 SEP 12 0000 16.5 N 124.0 E 1000 25 30 PAGASA: 17.5 N, 122.4 E 99 SEP 12 0600 18.6 N 120.3 E 998 25 30 NW tip of Luzon 99 SEP 12 1200 19.1 N 118.4 E 996 30 30 99 SEP 12 1800 19.1 N 117.5 E 996 30 30 JMA: 18.8 N, 118.9 E 99 SEP 13 0000 19.3 N 117.0 E 996 30 35 PASASA: 19.1 N, 118.2 E 99 SEP 13 0600 18.8 N 117.3 E 994 35 35 PAGASA: 19.0 N, 119.0 E 99 SEP 13 1200 18.8 N 117.3 E 994 40 35 PAGASA: 19.1 N, 118.6 E 99 SEP 13 1800 18.6 N 117.1 E 992 40 40 PAGASA: 19.1 N, 117.9 E 99 SEP 14 0000 19.3 N 116.0 E 992 45 40 99 SEP 14 0600 19.9 N 116.4 E 985 45 50 99 SEP 14 1200 20.4 N 116.1 E 980 50 55 99 SEP 14 1800 20.8 N 115.9 E 980 55 55 99 SEP 15 0000 21.1 N 115.8 E 980 55 55 99 SEP 15 0600 21.3 N 115.5 E 980 60 55 99 SEP 15 1200 21.5 N 115.3 E 980 65 55 99 SEP 15 1800 21.8 N 115.0 E 980 70 55 99 SEP 16 0000 22.3 N 114.0 E 980 70 55 99 SEP 16 0600 22.3 N 113.7 E 980 70 55 99 SEP 16 1200 22.5 N 113.1 E 985 55 50 Inland 99 SEP 16 1800 22.8 N 112.4 E 990 40 45 JMA: 23.3 N, 113.0 E 99 SEP 17 0000 23.5 N 112.1 E 996 30 35 99 SEP 17 0600 24.0 N 112.4 E 1000 30 JMA Warning Note: Normally when comparing positions from JTWC, PAGASA, and JMA, two of the three will usually be fairly close together.

A reminder--the official definition of a tropical cyclone in WMO Region V (Australia and the South Pacific) requires that the center of the system be surrounded by gales (winds > 33 kts); hence, there are often depressions with gale-force winds in only one or two quadrants which do not qualify to be named as tropical cyclones. ************************************************************************* ************************************************************************* *************************************************************************
