FOREWARDThe Annual Tropical Cyclone <strong>Report</strong> isprepared by the staff of the Joint TyphoonWarninq Center (<strong>JTWC</strong>), a combined USAF/USNorgani~ation operating under the command ofthe Commanding Officer, U. S. NavalOceanography Command Center/ Joint TyphoonWarning Center, Guam. <strong>JTWC</strong> was establishedin April 1959 when USCINCPAC directedUSCINCPACFLT to provide a single tropicalcyclone warning center for the westernNorth Pacific region. The operations of<strong>JTWC</strong> are guided by CINCPACINST 3140.1(series).The mission of the Joint Typhoon WarningCenter is multi-faceted and includes:1. Continuous monitoring of alltropical weather activity in the Northern andSouthern Hemispheres, from 180 degreeslongitude westward to the east coast ofAfrica, and the prompt issuance of appropriateadvisories and alerts when tropicalcyclone development is anticipated.2. Issuing warnings on all significanttropical cyclones in the above area ofresponsibility.3. Determination of reconnaissancerequirements for tropical cyclone surveillanceand assignment of appropriate priorities.4. In depth post-storm analysis ofall tropical cyclones occurring within thewestern North Pacific and North Indian Oceansfor publication in this report.5. Cooperation with the NavalEnvironmental Prediction Research Facility,Monterey, California, on the operationalevaluation of tropical cyclone models andforecast aids, and the development of newtechniques to support operational forecastscenarios.Satellite imagery used throughout thisreport represents data obtained by thetropical cyclone satellite surveillancenetwork. The personnel of Detachment 1,lWW, colocated with <strong>JTWC</strong>”at Nimitz Hill,Guam, coordinate the satellite acquisitionsand tropical cyclone surveillance with thefollowing units:Det 5, lWW, Clark AB, RPDet 8, lWW, Kadena AB, JapanDet 15, 30WS, Osan AB, KoreaDet 4, lWW, Hickam AFB, HawaiiAir Force Global <strong>Weather</strong> Central,Offutt AFB, NebraskaIn addition, the Naval Oceanography CommandDetachment, Diego Garcia, and DMSP equippedU.S. Navy aircraft carriers have beeninstrumental in providing vital satelliteposition fixes of tropical cyclones in theIndian Ocean.Should <strong>JTWC</strong> become incapacitated, theAlternate Joint Typhoon Warning Center(A<strong>JTWC</strong>) located at the U. S. Naval WesternOceanography Center, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii,assumes warning responsibilities. Assistancein determining satellite reconnaissancerequirements, and in obtaining the resultantdata, is provided by Det 4, lWW, Hickam APB,Hawaii.A special thanks is extended to the menand women of: 27th Information SystemsSquadron, Operating Location C, for their “continuing support by providing high qualityreal-time satellite imagery; the PacificFleet AQdio-Visual Center, Guam, for theirassistance in the reproduction of satelliteand graphics data for this report; to theNavy Publications and Printing ServiceBranch Office, Guam, for their efforts tomeet publication deadlines; and to Mrs.Patricia G.

CHAPTER I - OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES1.GENERALThe Joint Typhoon Warning Center (<strong>JTWC</strong>)provides a variety of routine services to theorganizations within its area of responsi-bility, including:a. Significant Tropical <strong>Weather</strong> Advisories:issued daily, this product describesall tropical disturbances and assesses theirpotential for further development during theadvisory period;b. Tropical Cyclone Formation Alerts:issued when synoptic, satellite and/oraircraft reconnaissance data indicatesdevelopment of a significant tropical cyclonein a specified area is likely;Tropical Cyclone Warnings: issuedperi~dically throughout each day for significanttropical cyclones, giving forecastsof position and intensity of the system; andd. Prognostic Reasoning Messages:issued twice daily for tropical storms andtyphoons in the western North Pacific; thesemessages discuss the rationale behind themost recent <strong>JTWC</strong> warnings.The recipients of the services of <strong>JTWC</strong>essentially determine the conte~t of <strong>JTWC</strong>*Sproducts according to their ever-changingrequirements. Therefore, the spectrum ofroutine services is subject to change fromyear to year. Such changes are usually theresult of deliberations held at the AnnualTropical Cyclone Conference.2. DATA SOURCESa. COMPUTER PRODUCTS:A standard array of synoptic-scalecomputer analyses and prognostic charts areavailable from the Fleet Numerical OceanographyCenter (FLENUMOCEANCEN) at Monterey,California. These products are provided to<strong>JTWC</strong> via the Naval Environmental DataNetwork (NEDN).b. CONVENTIONAL DATA:This data set is comprised of land-basedand shipboard surface and upper-air observationstaken at or near synoptic times, cloudmotionwinds derived twice daily fromsatellite data, and enroute meteorologicalobservations from commercial and militaryaircraft (AIRSPS)within six hours ofsynoptic times. Conventional data charts areprepared daily at 00002 and 12002 using handandcomputer-plotted data for the surface/gradient and 200 mb (upper-tropospheric)levels. In addition to these analyses,charts at the 850, 700, and 500 mb levels arecomputer-plotted from rawinsonde/pibalobservations at the 12-hour synoptic times.c. AIRCRAFT RECONNAISSANCE:Aircraft weather reconnaissance data areinvaluable for locating the position of thecenter~f developing systems and essentialfor the accurate determination of numerousparameters, including;- maximum surface and flight level wind- minimum sea-level pressure- horizontal surface and flight levelwind distribution- eye/center temperature and dewpointIn addition wind and pressure-height dataat the 500 and/or 400 mb levels, provided bythe aircraft while enroute to, or from fixmissions, or during dedicated synoptic-scaleflights, provide a valuable supplement to theall too sparse data fields of <strong>JTWC</strong>CS area ofresponsibility. A more detailed discussionof aircraft weather reconnaissance ispresented in Chapter II.d. SATELLITE RECONNAISSANCE:Meteorological satellite data obtainedfrom the Defense Meteorological SatelliteProgram (DMSP) and National Oceanic andAtmospheric Administration (NOAA) spacecraftplayed a major role in the earlydetection and tracking of tropical cyclonesin 1984. A discussion of the role of theseprograms is presented in Chapter II.e. RADAR RECONNAISSANCE:During 1984, as in previous years, landbasedradar coverage was utilized extensivelywhen available. Once a tropical cyclonemoved within the range of land-based radarsites, their reports were essential fordetermination of small scale movement. Useof radar reports during 1984 is discussed inChapter II.3. COMMUNICATIONSa. <strong>JTWC</strong> currently has access to threeprimary communications circuits.(1) The Automated Digital Network(AUTODIN) is used for dissemination ofwarnings, alerts and other related bulletinsto Department of Defense installations.These messages are relayed for furthertransmission over U.S. Navy Fleet Broadcasts,and U.S. Coast Guard CW (continuous waveMorse Code) and voice broadcasts. Inboundmessage traffic for <strong>JTWC</strong> is received via.AUTODIN addressed to NAVOCEANCOMCEN GUAM,<strong>JTWC</strong> GUAM, or DET 1 lWW NIMITZ HILL GU.”(2) The Air Force Automated <strong>Weather</strong>Network (AWN) provides weather data to <strong>JTWC</strong>through a dedicated circuit from theAutomated Digital <strong>Weather</strong> Switch (ADWS) atHickam AFB, Hawaii. The ADWS selects end1


outes the large volume of meteorologicalreports necessary to satisfy <strong>JTWC</strong> requirementsfor the right data at the right time,<strong>Weather</strong> bulletins prepared by <strong>JTWC</strong> areinserted into the AWN circuit via the NEDSand the Nimitz Hill Naval TelecommunicationsCenter (NTCC) of the Naval CommunicationsArea Master Station Weetern Pacific.(3) The Naval Environmental DataNetwork (NEDN) is the communications linkwith the computers at FLENUMOCEANCEN. <strong>JTWC</strong>is able to receive environmental data fromFLENUMOCEANCEN and to access the computersdirectly to execute numerical techniques.b. The Naval Environmental DisplayStation (NEDS) has become the backbone ofthe <strong>JTWC</strong> communications system. It is theterminal that provides a direct interfacewith the NEDN and AWN circuits, and iscapable of preparing messages for indirectAUTODIN transmission. The NEDS alsoprovides a means for the Typhoon DutyOfficer (TDO) to request forecaet aids whichare processed on the FLENUMOCEANCENcomputers and transmitted to the TDO overthe NEDN circuit.4. ANALYSESA composite surface/gradient level(3000 ft (915 m)) manual analysis of the<strong>JTWC</strong> area of responsibility is accomplishedon the 00002 and 1200Z conventional data.Analysis of the wind field using streamlinesis stressed for tropical and subtropicalregions. Analysis of the pressure field isaccomplished routinely by the NavalOceanography Command Center (NOCC)Operations watch-team and is used by <strong>JTWC</strong> inconjunction with their analysis of thetropical wind fields.A composite upper-tropospheric manualstreamline analysis is accomplished dailyutilizing rawinsonde data from 300 mbthrough 100 mb, winds derived from cloudmotion analysis, and AIREPS (taken plus orminus 6 hours of chart valid time) at orabove 29,000 feet (8,839 m). Wind andheight data are used to generate a representativeanalysis of tropical cyclone outflowpatterns, mid-latitude steering currents,and features that may influence tropicalcyclone intensity. A1l charts are handplottedin the tropics to provide allavailable data as soon as possible to theT’DO. Theee charts are augmented by computerplottedcharts for the final analysis.Computer plotted charts for the 850, 700,and 500 mb levels are available for streamlineand/or height-change apalysis from the0000Z and 1200Z data base. Additionalsectional charts at intermediate synoptictimes and auxilary charts such as stationtimeplot diagrams and pressure-changecharts are also analyzed during periods ofsignificant tropical cyclone activity.5. FORECAST AIDSThe following objective techniques wereemployed in tropical cyclone forecastingduring 1984 (a description of these techniquesis presented in Chapter IV) :a. MOVEMENT(1) 12-HOUR EXTRAPOLATION(2) CLIMATOLOGY(3) TPAC (Extrapolation andClimatology Blend)(4) TYAN78 (Analog)(5) COSMOS (Model OutputStatistics)(6) OTCM (Dynamical Model)(7) NTCM (Nested Grid DynamicalModel )(8) TAPT (Empirical)b. INTENSITY(1) THETA E (Empirical)(2) DVORAK (Empirical)(3) CLIMATOLOGY(4) WIND RADIUS (Analytical)6. FORECAST PROCEDURESa. INITIAL POSITIONINGThe warning position is the bestestimate of the center of the surface circulationat synoptic time. It is estimatedfrom an analysis of all fix informationreceived up to one and one-half hours aftersynoptic time. This analysis is based on asemi-objective weighting of fix informationbased on the historical accuracy of the fixplatform and the meteorological featuresused for the fix. The interpolated warningposition reduces the weighting of any singlefix and results in a more consistentmovement and a warning position that is morerepresentative of the larger-scale circulation.If the fix data is not available dueto reconnaissance platform malfunctions orconununication problems, synoptic data orextrapolation from previous fixes are used.b. TRACK FORECASTINGA preliminary forecast track is developedbased on an evaluation of the rationalebehind the previous warning and the guidancegiven by the most recent set of objectivetechniques and numerical prognoses. Thispreliminary track is then subjectively modifiedbased on the following considerations:2


(1) The prospects for recurvatureor erratic movement are evaluated. Thisevaluation is based primarily on the presentand forecast positions and amplitudes of themiddle-tropospheric, mid-latitude troughsand ridges as depicted on the latest upperairanalysis and numerical forecasts.(2) Determination of the best steeringlevel is partly influenced by thematurity and vertical extent of the tropicalcyclone. For mature tropical cycloneslocated south of the subtropical ridge,forecast changes in speed of movement areclosely correlated with anticipated changesin the intensity or relative position of theridge. When steering currents are relativelyweak, the tendency for tropical cyclones tomove northward due to internal forces is animportant consideration.(3) Over the 12- to 72-hour forecastperiod, speed of movement during the earlyforecast period is usually biased towardspersistence, while the subsequent forecastperiods are biased toward objective techniques.When a tropical cyclone moves poleward,and toward the mid-latitude steeringcurrents, speed of movement becomes increasinglymore biased toward a selective group ofobjective techniques capable of estimatingsignificant increases in speed of movement.(4) The proximity of the tropicalcyclone to other tropical cyclones is closelyevaluated tc determine if there is a possibilityof interaction.A final check is made againstclimatology to determine whether the forecasttrack is reasonable. If the forecastdeviates greatly from one of the climatolog~caltracks, the forecast rationale may bereappraised.c. INTENSITY FORECASTINGIn this parameter, heavy reliance isplaced on intensity trends from aircraftreconnaissance reports, wind and pressuredata from ships and land stations in thevicinity of the tropical cyclone, theDvorak satellite empirical model andclimatology. An evaluation of the entiresynoptic situation is made, including thelocation of major troughs and ridges, the@osition and intensity of any nearbytropical upper-tropospheric troughs (TUTT’S),the vertical and horizontal extent of thetropical cyclone’s circulation and the~xtent of the associated upper-levelOutflow pattern. An essential elementa~fecting each intensity forecast is theaccompanying forecast track and theinfluence of environmental parameters alongthat track, such as terrain influences,ver’$icalwind shear, and the existence ofan extratropical environment.OnCe the forecast intensities have beenderived, the horizontal distribution ofsurface winds (winds greater than 30-, 50-,and 100-knots) is determined. The mostrecent wind radii and associated asymmetriesare deduced from all available surfacewind observations and reconnaissanceaircraft reports. Based on the currentsurface wind distribution, ~reliminaryestimates of future wind radii are providedby an empirically derived objectivetechnique. These estimates may besubjectively modified based upon theanticipated interaction of the tropicalcyclone’s circulation with forecastlocations of large-scale wind regimes andsignificant landmasses. Other factorsincluding the tropical cyclone’s speed ofmovement and possible extratropicaltransition are considered.7. WARNINGSTropical cyclone warnings are issuedwhen a closed circulation is evident andmaximum sustained winds are forecast toincrease to 34 knots (18 meters per second)within 48 hours, or if the tropical cycloneis in such a position that life or propertymay be endangered within 72 hours. Warningsmay also be issued in other situations ifit is determined that there is a need toalert military or civil interests toconditions which may become hazardous in ashort period of time.Each tropical cyclone warning isnumbered sequentially and includes thefollowing information: the position of thesurface center; estimate of the positionaccuracy and the supporting reconnaissance(fix) platforms; the direction and speed ofmovement during the past six hours; and theintensity and radial extent of surface windsover 30-, 50-, and 100-knots, whenapplicable. At forecast intervals of 12-,24-, 48-, and 72-hours, information on thetropical cyclone’s anticipated position,intensity and wind radii are also provided.Starting on 1 July 1984, vectors indicatingthe mean direction and mean speed betweenforecast positions were also included in allwarnings.Warnings in the western North Pacificand North Indian Ocean are issued every sixhours valid at standard times (00002, 06002,12002, and 18002). All warnings arereleased to the communications network noearlier than synoptic time and no later thansynoptic time plus two and one-half hours sothat recipients will have a reasonableexpectation of having all warnings “in handbysynoptic time plus three hours (0300Z,0900z, 1500z, and 21OOZ).Warning forecast positions are laterverified against the corresponding “besttrack” positions (obtained during detailedpost-storm analysis to determine the actualpath of the cyclone). A summary of theverification results from 1984 is presentedin Chapter IV.3


8. PROGNOSTIC REASONING MESSAGESFor tropical storms and typhoons in thewestern North Pacific Ocean, prognosticreasoning messages are transmitted followingthe 00002 and 12002 warnings, or wheneverthe forecast reasoning is no longer valid.This plain language message is intended toprovide meteorologists with the reasoning behindthe latest <strong>JTWC</strong> forecast.In addition to this message, prognosticreasoning information applicable to allcustomers is provided in the remarks sectionof warnings when significant forecastchanges are made or when deemed appropriateby the TDO.9.TROPICALCYCLONEFORMATION ALERTTropical Cyclone Formation Alerts(TCFAS) are issued whenever interpretationof satellite imagery and other meteorologicaldata indicates that the formation of asignificant tropical cyclone is likely.These formation alerts will specify a validperiod not to exceed 24 hours and musteither be cancelled, reissued, or supersededby a tropical cyclone warning prior to theexpiration of the valid time.10.SIGNIFICANT TROPICALWEATHER ADVISORYThis product contains a general, nontechnicaldescription of all tropical disturbancesin the <strong>JTWC</strong> area of responsibilityand an assessment of their potential forfurther (tropical cyclone) development. Inaddition, all tropical cyclones in warningstatus are briefly discussed. This messageis issued at 06002 daily and is valid for a24 hour period. It is reissued whenever thesituation warrants. For each suspect area,the words “poor”, “fair”, and “good” will beused to describe the potential for furtherdevelopment. “Poor” will be used to describea tropical disturbance that is not expectedto require a TCFA during the advisory period;“Fair” will be used to describe a tropicaldisturbance that is currently not covered bya TCFA, but for which it is likely that aTCFA will be issued during the advisory period;and “Good” will be used when the tropicaldisturbance is covered by a TCFA.4


CHAPTER 11- RECONNAISSANCE AND FIXES1. GENERALThe Joint Typhoon Warning Center dependson reconnaissance to provide necessary,accurate, and timely meteorologicalinformation in support of each warning. <strong>JTWC</strong>relies primarily on three reconnaissanceplatforms: aircraft, satellite, and radar.In data rich areas synoptic data are alsoused to supplement the above. Optimumutilization of all available reconnaissanceresources is obtained through the SelectiveReconnaissance Program (SRP); various factorsare considered in selecting a specificreconnaissance platform including capabilitiesand limitations, and the tropicalcyclone’s threat to life and property bothafloat and ashore. A summary of reconnaissancefixes received during 1984 is includedin Section 6 of this chapter.2. RECONNAISSANCE AVAILABILITYa. AircraftAircraft weather reconnaissance for the<strong>JTWC</strong> is performed by-the 54th <strong>Weather</strong>Reconnaissance Squadron (54th WRS) located atAndersen Air Force Base, Guam. The 54th WRSis presently equipped with six WC-130aircraft and, from July through October, isaugmented by three additional aircraft fromthe 53rd WRS, Keesler Air Force Base,Mississippi, bringing the total number ofavailable aircraft to nine. The <strong>JTWC</strong>reconnaissance requirements are provideddaily to the Tropical Cyclone AircraftReconnaissance Coordinator (TCARC), whomarries the tasking from the <strong>JTWC</strong> with theavailable airframes from the 54th WRS.As in previous years, aircraftreconnaissance provided direct measurementsof height, temperature, flight-level wi?ds,sea-level pressure, estimated surface wln~s(when observable), and numerous additionalparameters. The meteorological data aregathered by the Aerial Reconnaissance <strong>Weather</strong>Officer (~WO) and dropsonde operators ofDetachment 3, 1st <strong>Weather</strong> Wing who fly withthe 54th WRS. These data provi#e the TyphoonDuty Officer (TDO) with indications afchanging tropical cyclone characteristics,radii of associated winds and currenttropical cyclone position and intensity.Another important aspect is the availabilityof the data for research on tropical cycloneanalysis and forecasting.b. SatelliteSatellite fixes from USAF/USN groundsites and USN ships provide day and nightcoverage in the <strong>JTWC</strong> area of responsibility.Interpretation of this satellite imageryprovides tropical cyclone positions andestimates of current and forecast intensitiesthrough the Dvorak technique.c. RadarLand radar provides positioning data onwell developed tropical cyclones when in theproximity (usually within 175 nm (324 km))of the rqdar sites in the Philippines,Taiwan, IfongKong, Japan, South Korea,Kwajalein, and Guam.d. SynopticIn 1984 <strong>JTWC</strong> also determined tropicalcyclone positions based on the analysis ofthe surface/gradient level synoptic data.These positions were helpful in situationswhere the vertical structure of the tropicalcyclone was weak or accurate surfacepositions from aircraft or satellite werenot available.3. &RJw;REcoNNAlssANcEDuring the 1984 tropical cvcloneseason, the <strong>JTWC</strong> levied ~10 .vor~ex fixes and53 investigative missions of which 14 wereflown into disturbances which did notdevelop. In addition to the levied fixes,251 intermediate fixes were also obtained.The average vector error for all aircraftfixes received at the <strong>JTWC</strong> during 1984 was12 nm (22 km).Air”&raft reconnaissance effectivenessis summarized in Table 2-1 using thecriteria set forth in CINCPACINST 3140.1(series).?ASLE2-1.

4.SATELLITE RECONNAISSANCE SUMMARYThe Air Force provides satellitereconnaissance support to <strong>JTWC</strong> using imageryfrom a variety of spacecraft. The tropicalcyclone satellite surveillance networkconsists of both tactical and centralizedfacilities. Tactical DMSP sites are locatedat Nimitz Hill, Guam; Clark AB, Republic,ofthe Philippines; Kadena AB, Japan; Osan AB,Korea; and Hickam AFB, Hawaii. These sitesprovide a combined coverage that includesmost of the <strong>JTWC</strong> area of responsibility inthe western North Pacific from near thedateline westward to the Malay Peninsula.<strong>JTWC</strong> relies on the Air Force Global <strong>Weather</strong>Central (AFGWC) to provide covera9e over theremainder of its area of responsibilityusing stored satellite data. The NavalOceanography Command Detachment, DiegoGarcia, provides NOAA polar orbitingcoverage in the central Indian Ocean as asupplement to this support. U. S. Navyships equipped for direct readout alsoprovided supplementary support.AFGWC, located at Offutt AFB, Nebraska,is the centralized member of the tropicalcyclone satellite surveillance network. Insupport of <strong>JTWC</strong>, AFGWC processes storedimagery from DMSP and NOAA spacecraft.Imagery processed at AFGWC is recordedonboard the spacecraft as it passes over theearth. Later, these data are downlinked toAFGWC via a network of command/readout sitesand communication satellites. This enablesAFGWC to obtain the coverage necessary to fixall tropical systems of interest to <strong>JTWC</strong>.AFGWC has the primary responsibility toprovide tropical cyclone surveillance overthe entire Indian Ocean, southwest Pacific,and portions of the western North Pacific onboth sides of the dateline. Additionally,AFGWC can be tasked to provide tropicalcyclone positions in the entire western NorthPacific as backup to coverage routinelyavailable in that reyion.The hub of the network is Det 1, lww,colocated with <strong>JTWC</strong> on Nimitz Hill, Guam.Based on available satellite coverage, Det 1coordinates satellite reconnaissancerequirements with <strong>JTWC</strong> and tasks theindividual network sites for the necessarytropical cyclone fixes. Therefore, when aposition from a polar-orbiting satellite isrequired as the basis for a warning, calleda “levied fix”, a dual-site tasking conceptcan be applied. Under this concept, twosites are tasked to fix the tropical cyclonefrom the same satellite pass. This providesthe necessary redundancy to virtuallyguarantee <strong>JTWC</strong> a successful satellite fix onthe tropical cyclone. Using this dual-siteconcept, the satellite reconnaissance networkis capable of meeting all of <strong>JTWC</strong>ts leviedsatellite fix requirements.The network provides <strong>JTWC</strong> with severalproducts and services. The main service isone of surveillance. Each site reviews itsdaily satellite coverage for indications oftropical cyclone development. If an areaexhibits the potential for development, <strong>JTWC</strong>is notified. Once <strong>JTWC</strong> issues either aformation alert or warning, the network istasked to provide three products: tropicalcyclone positions, intensity estimates, and24-hour intensity forecasts. Satellitetropical cyclone positions are assignedposition code numbers (PCN) depending on theavailability of geography for precisegridding, and the degree of organization ofthe tropical cyclone”s cloud system (Table2-2). During 1984, the network provided<strong>JTWC</strong> with a total of 1971 satellite fixes ontropical systems in the western North’Pacific. Another 184 fixes were made fortropical systems in the North Indian Ocean.A comparison of those fixes made on numberedtropical cyclones in the western NorthPacific with their corresponding <strong>JTWC</strong> besttrack positions is shown in Table 2-3.Estimates of the tropical cyclone’s currentintensity and 24-hour intensity forecast are?iuure 2-1.POLAR ORBITERS FOR 1984NOAA6(0727LST)D.NOAA7(1529LST)A*NOAA8(0737LST)D17540 (F6Y(062LST)A.18541 (F7~( 100LST)AP1ST = Local Sun Time. .

A similartechnique using enhanced infrared imagery isunder development.Four polar orbiters were availablethroughout the season. Figure 2-1 showsthe status of operational polar orbiters.NOAA 6 was reactivated a year after beingplaced in standby mode (20 June 1983) tocompensate for the untimely loss of NOAA 8.Although not shown NOAA 9 was successfullylaunched on 12 December and should be ofbenefit in 1985.6. RADAR RECONNAISSANCE SUMMARYFourteen of the 30 significant tropicalcyclones in the western North Pacific during1984 passed within range of land based radarwith sufficient cloud pattern organizationto be fixed. The land radar fixes that wereobtained and transmitted to <strong>JTWC</strong> totaled510. Two radar fixes were obtained byreconnaissance aircraft.The WMO radar code defines threecategories of accuracy: good (within 10 km(5nm)), fair (within 10 to 30 h (5 to16 rim)),and poor ( within 30 to”50 km(16 to 27nm)). This year 510 radar fixeswere coded in this manner; 167 were good,156 were fair, and 187 poor. Compared tothe <strong>JTWC</strong> best track, the mean vectordeviation for land radar sites was 20 nm(37 km). Excellent support through timelyand accurate radar fix positioning allowed<strong>JTWC</strong> to track and forecast tropical cyclonemovement through even the most difficulterratic tracks.As in previous years, no radar reportswere received on North Indian Ocean tropicalcyclones.TABLE 2-2.PCNPOSITION CODE NUNBERSNETHOD OF CENTER DETERMINATION/GRIDDING1 EYE/GEOGRAPHY2 EYE/EPHEMERIS3 WELL DEFINED CC/GEOGRAPHY4 WELL DEFINED CC/EPHENERIS5 POORLY DEFINED CC/GEOGRAPHY6 POORLY DEFINED CC/EPHENRRIS6.TROPICALCYCLONE FIX DATAA total of 2918 fixes on 30 westernNorth Pacific tropical cyclones and 193fixes on four North Indian Ocean tropicalcyclones were received at <strong>JTWC</strong>.

Low-level missionsare normally flown at 1500 ft (457 m).(2) 700 MB HGT - Minimum heightof the 700 mb pressure surface within thevortex recorded in meters.(3) OBS MSLP - If the surfacecenter can be visually detected (e.g., in theeye) , the minimum sea-level Pressure isobtained by a dropsonde release above thesurface vortex center. If the fix is madeat the 1500-foot level, the sea levelpressure is extrapolated from that level.(4) MAX-SFC-WND - The maximumsurface wind (knots) is an estimate made bythe ARWO based on sea state. This observationis limited to the region of the flightpath and may not be representative of theentire tropical cyclone. Availability ofdata is also dependent upon the absence ofundercast conditions and the presence ofadequate illumination. The positions of themaximum flight level wind and the maximumobserved surface wind do not necessarilycoincide.(5) MAX-FLT-LVL-WND - Wind speed(knots) at flight level is measured by theAN/APN 147 droppler radar system aboard theWC-130 aircraft. This measurement may notrepresent the maximum flight level windassociated with the tropical cyclone becausethe aircraft only samples those portions ofthe tropical cyclone along the flight path.In many instances, the flight path isthrough the weak sector of the tropicalcyclone. In areas of heavy rainfall, thedoppler radar may track energy reflectedfrom precipitation rather than from the seasurface, thus, preventing accurate windspeed measurement. In obvious cases, sucherroneous wind data will not be reported.In addition, the doppler radar system onthe WC-130 restricts wind measurements todrift angles less than or equal to 27 degreesif the wind is normal (perpendicular) to theaircraft heading.9F@uLe 2-i?.

CHAPTER Ill - SUMMARY OF TROPICAL CYCLONES1. WESTERN NORTH PACIFIC TROPICAL CYCLONESDuring 1984, the western North Pacificexperienced the sixth consecutive year ofbelow average tropical cyclone activity.Thirty tropical cyclones occurred in 1984,one less than the annual average. Onlythree significant tropical cyclones failedto develop beyond the tropical depression(TD) stage and eleven tropical storms (TS)failed to reach typhoon intensity. Of the16 tropical cyclones that developed totyphoon (TY) intensity, two reached the130 kt (67 m/s) intensity necessary to beclassified as super typhoons (STY). In thewestern North Pacific, tropical cyclonesreaching tropical storm intensity or greaterare assigned names in alphabetical orderfrom a list of alternating male/femalenames (refer to Appendix III). Table 3-1provides a summary of key statistics for allwestern North Pacific tropical cyclones.Each tropical cyclone’s maximum surface wind(in knots) and minimum sea level pressure(in millibars) were obtained from bestestimates based on all available data. Thedistance traveled (in nautical miles) wascalculated from the <strong>JTWC</strong> official besttracks (see Annex A).Table 3-2 through 3-5 provide furtherinformation on the monthly and yearlydistribution of tropical cyclones andstatistics on Tropical Cyclone FormationAlerts and Warnings.TAsLE 31.wEsrEmNoRmPACIFIC1984 SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONESCAIJMMR NU?43EROFMAXIMJM SWrTRAalMYSOF WAFN~ SURFACE ESTIMATED DISTAKZTKQPKAL CYCLCNE PEKKD OFWAIWU?G wAEwING — — Is.5uEDWINlX (m) l.SLF (m) TRAVEmD (N&0olwl-svEFNCN 09 JUN-ll JONOiw Ts WYNNE 19 JUN-26JUN03WTYAIEX04w TssElTY05W’TYCARYOIJUL-05JUL06 JUL-09JUL07 JUL-14JUL06W TY DINAH 24 JUL-OIAUG07WTYEDomTS FREDA25 JuL-OIAUG05 AUG-08AUGD9W m 09W 31 AuG-15AuGlowm~llw TY HOILY16 AUG-21AUG16 AUG-22AUG12WTDEW13WTY IKE24 AUG-25AUG27 ALE3-06SEP14W Is JuNE 28 AUG-30AUGMWTYKELLY16wls LYNN13SEP-18SEP24 SEP- 27 SEPliw ’rsmum 28SEP-01LX2r18WTSN3NA28SEP-O1OCC19w TY00XN O7OCI7-1OOCI’20W TY PnYIms llccr-14m23.wTs2t3Y llm-13CX21’2m % slEAN 11OCX-12(XY2W TD 23W 17ccr-18m24W TY ‘HiAD 190CI’-24a?r25W STY VANESSA 22 03?- 31OCI!26WTYWAP.RIN 23 Wl?-310Cr27wTYmOINDV-08N3V28W STY BILL 08 NOV-22DKYV29wTY-14 N3v-211x3v30W’ITEOYLE 04 DB2.-2J.Dm23984~ :* ovERmPPINGLnYs INcLumD cNLYcwEINsLM.38i89;5672364:44322610981588130*9281812303528X2102425542U1814:21213952:3131285230266114060’75559012510055305575$56075:5570803540251201551::13011012599398097098395591.59479829969799639959479839659969929909829749969929989258799769259099389355561609132011571355282617001094132810091712605280673812975538631.2012.23697273557628723623125I..ll.l266628922709296011

TROPICAL STORM VERNON(OIW)The formation of Tropical Storm Vernonmarked the start of the western Pacifictropical cyclone season. This is the secondyear in a row that the first tropical cycloneof the season did not develop until June, andthe first time since <strong>JTWC</strong> was establishedthat two consecutive seasons have started solate in the year.Tropical Storm Vernon was very similarto its 1983 season opening counterpart,Tropical Storm Sarah, in that it formed inthe South China Sea during June, developedinto a weak Tropical Storm, and made landfallin central Vietnam.The disturbance which was to developinto Tropical Storm Vernon was first detectedearly on 7 June as an area of poorly organizedconvection on the eastern end of the monsoontrough in the central South China Sea. Thedisturbance drifted slowly to the northwestand consolidated during the next 24 hours.At 0411Z on the 8th, a TCFA was issued basedon improved organization of the convectionand synoptic data which indicated the disturbancehad a closed surface circulation withwinds of 15 to 25 kt (8 to 13 m/s). Vernoncontinued moving to the northwest at 5 kt(9 km/hr) and at 00002 on the 9th the firstwarning was issued based on numerous 25 to 30kt (13 to 15 m/s) ship reports. The MSI+P atthis time was near.999 mb.Over the next 18 hours Vernon’s forwardspeed doubled to 10 kt (19 km/hr) as thestorm intensified, attaining tropical stormstrength between 00002 and 06002 on the 9thand reaching a maximum intensity of’~0 kt(21 m/s) approximately 6 to 9 hours later(Figure 3-01-1).Vietnamese authorities reported thatVernon caused flooding of rice, sweet potato,and sesame crops in the Quang Nam-Danangprovince. No loss of life or other significantproperty damage was reported.After reaching maximum intensity, Vernonmoved in a more westerly direction at 12 kt(22 krn/hr), and began to weaken as the stormentered a strong shearing environment.Vernon continued toward the coast of Vietnam,making landfall just north of Da Nang (WMO48855) at approximately 1012OOZ. By thistime most of Vernon’s convection was shearedto the west of the low-level circulation.Vernon quickly dissipated over land.F&me 3-01-1.

TROPICAL STORM WYNNS(02W)After Tropical Storm Vernon (~W) dissipatedover Vietnamr the southwest monsoon wasslow to re-establish itself. Surface ridgingfrom an anticyclone over the northernPhilippine Sea and later from a 1030 mb higheast of Japan kept easterlies in thePhilippine Sea and across Luzon until the 14thof June. By then the ridge east of Japan hadmoved far enough east to allow a weak southwestmonsoon to become established from theSouth China Sea eastward into the PhilippineSea. This set the stage for the developmentof Tropical Storm Wynne.The disturbance which developed into thesecond storm of the season was first detectedlate on 16 June in the northern PhilippineSea as an area of concentrated convectionembedded in the southwest monsoon. By 17June a broad, weak sur”facecirculation haddeveloped near 20N 137E with an MSLP of 1005mb and 10 to 20 kt (5 to 10 m/s) surfacewinds. The organization of the convectioncontinued to improve, prompting the issuanceof a TCFA at 1600z on the 18th. At that time,synoptic data indicated a weak upper-levelanticyclone had developed aloft providinggood outflow to the south and west. Late onthe 18th, the first aircraft reconna~ssanceflight into the disturbance found a 6 nm (11km) wide surface center with an MSLP of 998mb and maximum surface winds of 20 kt (10m/s ). At 190933Z the first warning on Wynne,valid at 190600z, was issued.Wynne maintained a predominantly westwardtrack throughout its life. The stormwas steered by the westward flow along thesouthern side of the mid to low-levelsubtropical ridge. This ridge was apparentlytoo narrow to be resolved by <strong>JTWC</strong>’S priinaryforecast aid, the One-Way InteractiveTropical Cyclone Model (OTCM). As a result,OTCM repeatedly predicted a northward trackfor the storm. By the second warning, <strong>JTWC</strong>forecasters had noticed this apparentproblem with OTCM and began forecasting amore westward track than OT,CMindicated.On 19 June a mid-latitude trough passedto the north of Wynne causing Wynne to turnbriefly to the northwest. However, thetrough did not weaken the subtropical ridgeenough to allow for recurvature. After thetrough passed on the 20th, Wynne once againresumed its westward heading which it maintaineduntil landfall.Despite the five days Wynne remained inthe Philippine Sea east of Taiwant it did notintensify beyond 55 kt (28 m/s) . The weakuPPer-level anticyclone which developed overWynne on the 18th remained very small, beingovershadowed by a much larger upper-levelanticyclone to the north over mainland China.Therefore, Wynne remained under a strongshearing environment from the north andnortheast throughout its lifer which hinderedintensification.~FAA 23170 ti?~ @&&f JtxQ2 /0612 s2giG..:.:..,.., .,.. ~~: .....

Wynne strengthened to 55 kt (28 m/s)just prior to passing the southern coast ofTaiwan. The sea level pressure of Lanyu(WMO 46762), located just east of thesouthern tip of Taiwan, dropped 14 mb in the12 hours preceding the storm’s arrival,reaching 984 mb with Wynness passage. AsWynne passed the southern tip of Taiwan(Figure 3-02-1), its low-level circulationwas disrupted causing Wynne to weakenslightly as it entered the South China Sea(Figure 3-02-2).Wynne passed 70 nm (130 km) south ofHong Kong (WMO 45005) about 24 hours afterpassing the southern tip of Taiwan. By thistime Wynne had intensified to its peakintensity of 60 kt (31 m/s). This wasconfirmed by the USS Mauna Kea (AE22) whichinadvertently passed very close to Wynne’scenter and reported “maximum winds to 60 kt,gusts to 70 kt.” Fortunately, no damage orpersonnel injuries were reported aboard theMauna Kea. Further north, Hong Kong reportedgusts to 60 kt (31 m/s) with the passage ofWynne.As Wynne traversed the Philippine Seaand the northern Luzon Straits, the southwestmonsoon was enhanced producing 20 to 30 kt(10 to 15 m/s) winds, high seas and heavyrainfall. In Luzon, at least 20 familieswere reported left homeless and 10,000 hectaresof riceland destroyed by floods.North of Luzon, three fishermen drowned whentheir boats capsized in heavy seas.Tropical Storm Wynne made landfall atapproximately 1200Z on the 25th on the coastof the PeopleTs Republic of China near theLuichow Peninsula, and weakened rapidly asit moved inland.

TYPHOON ALEX(03W)Typhoon Alex was the first typhoon ofthe 1984 western Pacific season. It was alsothe season’s first recurver. The satellitefixes during the formative stages of Alexwere somewhat misleading and contributed torather large forecast errors on the firstday in warning status. After reachingtyphoon intensity and crossing Taiwanr thelast phase of Alex’s life was characterizedby a complex transition into an extratropicallow.The seedlings of Alex first caught theattention of the <strong>JTWC</strong> forecasters on the 28thof June. Based on several ship reportsshowing that a circulation center had developedin the Philippine Sea, the SignificantTropical <strong>Weather</strong> Advisory (ABEH PGTW) wasreissued at 281415Z stating that a 10 to 15kt (5 to 8 m/s) surface circulation haddeveloped near 16N 129E, within a disorganizedarea of convection in the monsoon trough(point A on Figures 3-03-1 and 3-03-2).This area was identified as one with a “poor”potential for development (meaning thedisturbance was not expected to require aTCFA during the advisory period). For thenext day-and-a-half the disturbance persistedwith no signs of development. At 2301z onthe 29th, visual satellite pictures indicatedthat a partially exposed low-level circulationhad developed on the northern edge ofthe disturbance (point B on Figures 3-03-1and 3-03-2). Consequently an aircraftinvestigation of the area was requested forthe following day.F.igum3-03-1.

NOW things happened quickly.The forecaster first notified his customerson Luzon that a tropical depression wasdeveloping just to the east of them and theycould experience 30 kt (15 m/s) winds within18 hours. At 2300Z on the 30th a TCFA wasissued. Shortly thereafter, at 2338Z, thevortex fix was radioed to <strong>JTWC</strong> containingdetails on the closed surface circulation.The first warning on Alex, valid at 0000Z on1 July quickly followed.Unfortunately, the first four warningsforecast Alex to move to the west. Satellitefixes starting late on the 29th and continuingthrough 1800z on the 1st indicated thatthe depression was moving west-southwest.Limited radar fixes indicated that the systemwas nearly stationary. However, when thedaylight satellite pictures became availablelate on 1 July, it was obvious that thesystem had in reality moved north-northwest(along track CD in Figure 3-03-2) and wasnow a tropical storm. Thus it was not untilwarning number five that the westward trackwas abandoned and not umtil warning numberseven that the recurvature scenario was fullydeveloped.The rationale behind the forecasttrack on warning number one now becomesinstructive: When the system was firstdetected “on the doorstep” of Luzon, thereFiguze3-03-2.

was an urgency to let the people there knowthat the potential existed for a tropicalcyclone to affect them almost immediately.Therefore it was deemed necessary to devisethe forecast track before all of the <strong>JTWC</strong>forecast aids could be obtained. Availableto the forecaster were the past fixes whichlead to best track BC on Figure 3-03-2 and asynoptic situation characterized by a midtroposphericridge north of the storm asillustrated in Figure 3-03-3. Given thepresent and past position of the storm andthe northeasterly flow across Luzon, a westwardforecast with recurvature beyond the 72hour point seemed logical. This scenariowas briefed to all concerned. When theforecast aids did arrive, they generallyagreed with this reasoning. One of the aidswhich did not agree was the One-Way InteractiveCyclone Model (OTCM), <strong>JTWC</strong>’S primaryforecast aid, which forecast Alex to move tothe north-northwest to near point D inFigure 3-03-2 in twenty-four hours. TheOTCM forecast was discounted for threereasons. First, it was perpendicular. to themid-tropospheric flow and headed toward thecenter of the ridge near Taiwan. Second,the track BCD seemed highly improbable.Finally, OTCM had consistently and erroneouslyforecast a westward moving storm (TropicalStorm Wynne (02w)) to go to the north only aweek earlier in the same general area.As it turned out, the OTCM forecast wasexcellent. Figure 3-03-4 reflects the newsynoptic situation. The anticyclone thathad been over Taiwan did not persist asoriginally anticipated but weakened andmoved to the east. This movement allowedAlex to accelerate to the north-northwesttowards Taiwan. The OTCM had correctlyforecast this to occur. With the postanalysisknowledge that Alex did not transitthe Philippines, but instead went northnorthwest,Figure 3-03-2 should be examinedfor an explanation of the true origin ofAlex. The track BCD seems highly improbableThere is currenkly no explanation for a pathfrom B to C at a speed of nearly 10 kt (19km/hr), a slow down to 3 kt (6 km/hr) at Cfollowed by a sudden 120 degree turn to theright and an acceleration to 12 kt (22 km/hr)by point D. A much more likely path wouldbe genesis near point A, as was indicated bysynoptic data back on 28 June, westwardmovement at about 5 kt (9 km/hr) to C andthen a more gradual turn to the right withacceleration to D. Consequently it is nowthought that the low-level circulationcenter found by satellite imagery at point 13on the 29th of June was a ‘red-herring”;nothing more than an eddy in the monsoontrough.Once the northward movement of Alex waswell established, the forecasts were relativelyaccurate (although the speeds weresomewhat slow) . The only question waswhether Alex would track up the east coastof Taiwan, cross the middle of the EastCnina Sea and transit through the KoreanStrait, or transfer across Taiwan, movealong the coast of mainland China and crossSouth Korea. By warning number 11 thisquestion was correctly resolved as the lasteight warnings had excellent track forecasts.Alex continued to intensify reaching amaximum intensity of 75 kt (39 m/s) justprior to crossing Taiwan (Figures 3-03-5 and3-03-6). During the middle and last phasesof Alex’s life, the southwesterlies infront of a trough that laid over centralKorea provided the steering mechanism.This trough with its associated surfacefront was the same trough observed overnorthern China in Figure 3-03-4 severaldays earlier. Starting on 5 July Alexunderwent a complex extratropical transitionwith this front. The final warning wasissued at 051200z as Alex became indistinguishablefrom the frontal system over theSea of Japan.In summary, Typhoon Alex can be identifiedas a typical, well-behaved recurverthat transitioned into an extratropicalsystern. Th& first four warnings were marredby erroneous rejection of OTCM, and byacceptance of early fixes from a featurethat was probably not part of the genesismechanism.Figtie 3-03-5.

TROPICAL STORM BETTY(04W)Tropical Storm Betty originated in theeastern extension of the monsoon trough earlyin July but took several days to develop intoa significant tropical cyclone. Oncedeveloped, Betty moved steadily to the northwestthrough the South China Sea eventuallymaking landfall and dissipating over southernChina.At 0000Z on the 2nd, a disturbance whichlater developed into Tropical Storm Betty waslocated approximately 550 nm (1019 km) southweetof Guam. Synoptic data showed thedisturbance to be a broad, weak surfacecirculation with winds of 10 to 15 kt(5 to 8 m/s). Concurrent satellite imageryshowed the disturbance as an area of poorlyorganized convection. Strong surface ridgingwas present between the disturbance and thedeveloping Tropical Storm Alex (03W) to thenorth which was then located off the eastcoast of Luzon. Above this surface ridginga TUTT was providing good upper-level outflowto the north of the disturbance enhancing theconvective activity.When the disturbance was mentioned onthe 030600Z Significant Tropical <strong>Weather</strong>Advisory (ABEH PGTW), it had moved northwestbehind now Typhoon Alex (03W) which waslocated east of Taiwan and moving rapidlynorthward. With the TUTT providing goodupper-level outflow over the disturbance,the convection exhibited a marked increasein organization and intensity over 24 hoursearlier.By 02002 on the 4th, the disturbancehad moved to ne~r 15N 128E and was becomingmore organized. At this time the first TCFAwas issued on the system. Figure 3-04-1shows the disturbance at the time the TCFAwas issued. Note the banding in the convectionand anticyclonic upper-level outflow.Synoptic data indicated that only a broad10 to 15 kt (5 to 8 m/s) surface circulationwas present.

Aircraft reconnaissance flights on 3 and4 July at the 1500 ft (457 m) level wereunable to close-off a circulation center,finding instead a broad surface trough. TheTCFA was reissued at 050200z July since thepossibility existed that the system wouldremain east of Luzon and develop. Aircraftreconnaissance during the afternoon of $he5th indicated that the system had intensifiedslightly into a weak tropical depressionwith an MSLP of 1002 mb and maximum surfacewinds of 25 kt (13 m/s). However, nofurther development occurred as the systemmoved west and approached the Philippines.By the 6th, the depression had weakenedas it transited Luzon. At this time thethird and final TCFA was issued since it wasconsidered likely that a significant tropicalcyclone would finally develop once thedisturbance moved out over the South ChinaSea.At 1200Z on the 6th, synoptic dataindicated that the disturbance had movedoffshore west of Luzon and was developing.With surface reports of 20 to 25 kt (10 to13 m/s) and further intensification verylikely, the first warning was issued.Visual satellite imagery late on the 6th(Figure 3-04-2) showed Betty, then adepression, with a large, mostly clear areaat its center. b exposed low-levelcirculation is evident as indicated by thespiraling low-level cumulus clouds.Convective activity is heaviest in thesouthern semicircle surrounding the mostlyconvection-free center. Aircraft reconnaissanceat about the same time reported a largelight and variable center 50 to 60 nm (93 to111 km) in diameter associated with thedepression. Surface winds of 25 to 30 kt(13 to 15 m/s) were observed southeast of thecenter where the depression’s flow wasenhanced by the southwest monsoon.F&Juhe 3-04-Z.

Betty was upgraded to a tropical stormat 1200Z on the Ith based upon receipt of35 kt ship reports and satellite imageryshowing improved convective organization.Aircraft reconnaissance at 080034z indicatedthat Tropical Storm Betty had intensifiedfurther with maximum surface winds of 50 kt(26 m/s) being reported in a small area inthe east semicircle.The Hong Kong Royal Observatory (WMO45005) picked up Betty on weather radar atapproximately 080300z and transmittedposition fixes until 090600Z. These hourlyreports aided greatly in positioning thetropical storm during this period.Between 0600z on the 8th and 0600Z onthe 9th, Betty maintained an intensity of50 to 55 kt (26 to 28 m/s), making landfallat 090300z approximately 135 nm (250 km)west-southwest of Hong Kong. Figure 3-04-3shows Betty at maximum intensity just priorto landfall. Dissipation occurred after091800z over the southwestern portion ofthe Peoples Republic of China. No forecastproblems were encountered with TropicalStorm Betty since it moved steadily to thenorthwest around the southwestern peripheryof the subtropical ridge.f~gwte 3-04-3. rJLQpid ~22Y0rI &.t@O.tmO,%imwnLmtm$itg oi 55 tat (2g mlbl jtif ptioz .tQ &wd@.U(090737Z Jutg v~p v~~ -GWWLY1 .29

TYPHOON CARY(05W)Typhoon Cary was the first storm of theseason to be initiated by tbe Tropical UpperTropospheric Trough (TUTT] in a mannersimilar to that described by Sadler (1976).While remaining over water its entire life,Cary distinguished itself by unusualintensity changes.The disturbance which eventually developedinto Typhoon Cary was first noticed onthe 2nd of July as an area of very poorlyorganized convection near 18N 168E in theeastern, divergent side of a westward moving‘TUTT cell. During the next two days, theconvection remained poorly organized as itmoved to the west-southwest. Surfacesynoptic data indicated only easterly tradeswere present beneath the convection. Earlyon the 5th, the convection became moreorganized with satellite imagery indicatingan anticyclone developing aloft over thesystem: however, due to sparse surfacere~rts, the presence of a surface circulationcould not be confirmed. Because ofthe improved organization, the area ofconvection was mentioned in the 050600ZSignificant Tropical <strong>Weather</strong> Advisory (ABEHPGTW) . Subsequent satellite imagery showedcontinued development of the convection andthe ABEH was reissued at 051200Z indicatingthat the potential for significant tropicalcyclone development was “fair” (meaning thatit is likely that a TCFA will be issuedduring the advisory period). Early on the6th, satellite imagery (Figure 3-05-1)showed that the convection had become commashaped, with evidence that a surface circulationwas forming. Consequently a TCFA wasissued at 060317z. During the following 21hours the disturbance moved to the westnorthwest,with no significant intensification.Aircraft reconnaissance late on the 6th,had no trouble locating a surface circulationand reported that the disturbance hadan NLSP of 1004 mb with estimated maximumsurface winds of 25 kt (13 m/s). Based onthis report, the first warning on Cary wasissued at 0000Z on the 7th. During the next12 hours, satellite imagery indicated thedepression was slowly intensifying. Thiswas confirmed by the next aircraftreconnaissance flight which found Cary hadintensified to storm strength with a narrowband of 35 to 40 kt (18 to 21 m/s) surfacewinds north of its center and an NSLP of999 Mb.Cary continued to intensify as it movedto the northwest toward an apparent break inthe subtropical ridge. Due to uncertaintyin the Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center(FNOC) analysis fields in the data sparseregion southeast of Japan, 400 mb synoptictrack missions were flown on 8 and 9 July tobetter define the mid-level flow north ofCary. These flights confirmed the presenceof a weakness in the ridge, which indicatedthat forecasts for slow northwestwardmovement with eventual recurvature to thenortheast were sound. Cary slowed as itapproached the weakness in the subtropicalrxdge wh~le continuing to intensify. At091200Z, Cary was upgraded to typhoon statusbased on aircraft and satellite data whichindicated that a 30 nm (56 km) wide eye hadformed, 700 mb flight level winds were 64 kt(33 m/s), and an MSLP of 975 mb existed.During the subsequent 12 hours Cary intensifiedquite rapidly, reaching a maximumintensity of 90 kt (46 m\s) with an IISIIP of955 mb at 0923322.

Between 0000Z on the 9th and 1200z on the10th, Cary moved very slowly through theridge axis. At the same time, a mid-latitudetrough was forecast to deepen in the lee ofJapan, supress the subtropical ridge furthersouth, and allow Cary to enter the westerliesand be steered to the northeast. Acceleration,although considered, was not forecastsince the strong upper-level westerlies wereforecast to remain well north of 30N throughthe forecast period.Recurvature to the northeast was underwayby 1012OOZ. This was accompanied by asignificant shearing of the convection inthe northwest semicircle of the storm(Figure 3-05-3) resulting in a reduction ofintensity to near minimum typhoon strength.Approximately 18 hours later the troughapproached a blocking ridge along 170E,turned to the north, and weakened. Thisallowed the shearing environment over Caryto decrease resulting in a gradual increasein convection and a halt to the weakeningtrend. At 111118z the ARWO reported thatCary was once again developing an eye; thistime 40 nm (74 km) across. This large eyepersisted for 24 hours (Figure 3-05-4) asCary reintensified.

TYPHOON DINAH(06W)During much of July, the North Pacificwas dominated by slow moving or stationaryfeatures. After Tropical Storm Bettydissipated over southern China, the southwestmonsoon did not re-develop. Instead,surface ridging was established in the SouthChina Sea, Gradually this ridging spreadeastward, and by mid-July dominated thewestern North Pacific from Southeast Asia tothe dateline. This anomalous ridgi”ngpersisted fox almost two weeks. Accompanyingthis ridging was an almost total absence ofsignificant convection in the tropics. Withhigh pressure dominating the climatologicallyfavored area for tropical cyclone development,it was up to a cold front to provide thegenesis mechanism for the next storm of theseason. This front had persisted for nearlya week, extending across much of the centralNorth Pacific southwestward to just north ofWake Island (WMO 91245). while the southernend of the associated trough had, at times,shown some convective activity, it was notuntil the front began to move eastward thatthe disturbance detached from the front anddeveloped into Typhoon Dinah.On the 20th and 21st, satellite imageryindicated that the trough and its associatedsurface front, which had been inactive fornearly a week, were finally moving east. Asthe trough moved eastward, an area of convectionremained behind and began to show someorganization. Synoptic data at 12002 on the21st indicated a surface circulation hadformed beneath the convection, approximatelyFi.guae 3-06-1. Mid-lx.oPobPh&cuind &OU) which. . .~q btetned Typhoon Dinah.

During the next two days, thedisturbance drifted slowly westward with nosignificant development. This lack ofdevelopment and slow movement are attributedto the passage to the north of a developingmid-latitude frontal system which significantlyelongated the convection.Late on the 23rdr with the frontalsystem passing to the northeast and itsinfluence lessening, the convectionassociated with the disturbance increasedconsiderably. Based on the 2400002 imagery,a TCFA was issued. As the TCFA was beingissued, the first aircraft reconnaissanceof the disturbance was already underway. By2402502 the aircraft had located a 1000 mbcirculation center, and had observed surfacewinds of 30 kt (15 m/s). Since continueddevelopment was expected, the first warningon Dinah valid at 2406002 was issued.During the next two days, Dinah trackedto the west-southwest and intensified. Lateon the 25th, Dinah attained typhoon intensitywith aircraft reporting that a 30 nm (56 km)wide circular eye had formed. Dinah’s trackto the west-southwest is attributed to theflow around a narrow mid-tropospheric ridgeto its north (Figure 3-06-1). At this time,Tropical Storm Ed (soon to be Typhoon Ed)was moving southeast towards Dinah. Thiscaused the ridge to the north to slide tothe east allowing Dinah to turn to the northwestinto the weakness.Between 00002 on the 26th and OOOOZ onthe 28th, Dinah and Ed were within 900 nm(1667 km) of each other, wi’@ the closestpoint of approach being at 2621OOZ when theywere approximately 630 nm (1167 km) apart(Figure 3-06-2). While <strong>JTWC</strong> was warning onthese systems it was thought that the majortrack changes to both were a result of theirinteraction. However, post-analysisindicates this interaction between Dinah andEd was not nearly as great a factor asinitially thought. It is now believed thatthe proximity of the storms did not have amajor affect on their respective tracks andonly a short-lived influence on Dinahisintensity.Figure 3-06-3 shows the intensityvariations of Dinah as measured by reconnaissanceaircraft. After intensifying forthree days, Dinah weakened for a 12 to 24hour period on the 27th. This weakeninghappened after the closest point of approachbetween the two storms had occurred. Themechanism responsible for this temporaryweakening was the well developed outflow ofEd which interacted with Dinah late on the26th and early on the 27th. Figure 3-06-4contains a series of three infraredsatellite pictures shcwing the approach andinteraction of Ed’s outflow with Dinah.This interaction resulted in a significantshearing and suppression of the convection35


i’nthe northwest quadrant of Dinah, atemporary weakening of the eye and eyewalland an increase in the central pressure asobserved in Figure 3-06-3. Figure 3-06-5shows afienhanced infrared picture ofTyphoon Dinah after interaction with Ed hadtaken place. Note that the eye is open tothe northwest, and there is a lack ofsignificant convection in the northwestquadrant. Although not verifiable, Dinah’sbrief turn to the east-northeast on the 27thmay also be attributable to the pressurefrom Ed’s outflow. By early on the 28th,with the distances between Ed and Dinahincreasing, the shearing decreased andDinah intensified rapidly, reaching itsmaximum intensity of 125 kt (64 m/s) at00002 on the 29th.By now Dinah was moving to the northnortheastand increasing its forward speed asthe storm tracked along the westward edge ofthe mid-Pacific high. At approximately290600z Dinah made its closest point ofapproach to Marcus Island (Minami Tori Shims(WMO 47991)) with an intensity of 115 kt(59 m/s). This was Dinahts only interactionwith land and caused extensive damage tovegetation on the island. The Coast GuardLoran station sustained an estimated $30,000worth of damage to various buildings andequipment. Maximum observed winds on theisland were 63 kt (32 m/a) with a peak gustto 89 kt (46 m/s).F@uLe 3-06-2.

TYPHOON ED(07W)Typhoon Ed, like its predecessor TyphoonDinah, originated from a mid-latitude system.Forming just south of Japan, Ed initiallymoved to the southeast, a very unusualdirection of movement for tropical cyclonesin the northwest Pacific. After brieflyinteracting with Typhoon Dinah, Ed turned tothe west-northwest, a course it maintaineduntil it made landfall on the east coast ofChina.The disturbance which eventuallydeve oped into Ed began as an area ofconvtction at the southern end of adissipating cold front transiting Japan.Although the convection was first noticedon 23 July, it was not until late c?nthe24th that the cloud mass became detachedfrom the front and showed signs of becominga tropical disturbance. At 0000Z on the25th, synoptic data indicated a surfacecirculation had formed, with an MSLP near1002 mb. Satellite imagery and synopticdata indicated an upper-level anticyclonehad developed over the disturbance providingexcellent outflow to the south. Thesedevelopments prompted the SignificantTropical <strong>Weather</strong> Advisory (A13EHPGTW) to bereissued at 250135Z in order to include thissystem as a suspect area. The potential forsignificant tropical cyclone development wasassessed as being “fair”. Indeed this wasan understatement. The area rapidlytransitioned from an extratropical featureto a tropical depression as the convectionincreased and became more organized. At250600Z, synoptic data showed surfacepressures had decreased to 999 mb andDvorak satellite intensity analysis estimatedthat surface winds of 30 kt (15 m/s) werepresent. Consequently a TCFA was issued at250745Z. The disturbance continued todevelop overnight and the first warning onEd was issued at 1800z on the 25th.While Ed was developing, Typhoon Dinahlocated approximately 900 nm (1667 km) tothe southeast, was moving to the west andintensifying. The first five warningsforecast Ed to move generally towards Dinah,remain weak and eventually be assimilatedinto Dinah’s inflow. However, Ed did notremain weak but continued to intensify as itmoved to the southeast. Aircraft reconnaissanceat 252219Z found Ed had deepened to985 mb and was supporting winds of 40 to 50kt (21 to 26 m/s). Ed maintained a 50 kt(26 m/s) intensity during the next 24 hoursas it moved closer to Dinah. Throughoutthis period, Ed’s outflow remained very wellorganized and was elongating to the easttowards Dinah. This outflow had a significantshort term effect on Dinah’s convectionand intensity early on the 27th.During the 26th, a short-wave troughmoved eastward across the Sea of Japan. Inresponse to the trough, Ed turned to thenorth while maintaining its intensity. By270000z, the trough had moved to the northeastand was weakening. Ed now came underthe influence of a mid to low-level ridgeeast of Japan. This ridge kept building tothe west and forced Ed to move to the westnorthwestta course it maintained untillandfall.While moving to the west Ed slowlyintensified, reaching its peak intensity of100 kt (51 m/s) shortly after passing southof the island of Kyushu (Figure 3-07-1). AsEd transited the East China Sea, entrainmentof drier air and passage over cooler watersbegan to weaken the system. At 0900Z on the31st, Ed made landfall approximately 60 nm(111 km) north of Shang-Hai (WMO 58367).Maximum sustained winds at landfall were 60kt (31 m/s). After making landfall, Edturned to the northwest, transited alongcoastal China and gradually dissipated. Thefinal warning was issued at 1200z on the 1stof August.The only known damage caused by TyphoonEd occurred to shipping. The Korean registeredIshlin Glory enroute from Pohang,South Korea to Nagoya, Japan sank in theKorea Strait on 29 July. One crew member isknown dead, with eleven others reportedmissing.FLgcuuz 3-07-1.

TROPICA.LSTORM FREDA(08w)Tropical Storm Freda was the first ofseven significant tropical cyclones todevelop durinq Auqust. Freda bewan just asTyphoo& Ed wa~ di~sipating over ~ast;rn Chinaand Typhoon Dinah was completing kts extratropicaltransition well to the east ofJapan. In the wake of these two typhoons,the atmosphere had not yet returned to itsseasonally normal condition before Fredabegan to show signs of developing. Thissituation meant that Freda would be slow todevelop and take several days to pulltogether into a tropical cyclone.On the 1st of August, just prior to thedevelopment of Freda, the western Pacific wasdominated at the surface by a deep troughextending southwest from Dinah into adisturbance north of Guam and then southwestwardinto the southern Philippine Sea(Figure 3-08-1). The southwest monsoon,which had re-established itself during thelast week of July, ha~ not yet returned toits climatological position and would not doso for several more-days. The low-levelconvergence at the bas~ of this trough westof Guam, was the primary genesis mechanismfor Freda. By 0206002, enough convection haddeveloped over the area to merit inclusion ofthe disturbance in the Significant Tropical<strong>Weather</strong> Advisory (AREH PGTW). At 0212002, aclosed surface circulation was first analyzedin the Philippine Sea with an estimated MSLPof 1005 mb. The ABEH was reissued shortlythereafter upgrading the potential forsignificant tropical cyclone development to“fair”. r+naircraft investigation of thearea was requested for the following afternoon.Although at this time it was assumedthat the disturbance would progress into atypical tropical cyclone, it would turn outthat the most difficult part of warning onthis storm would be locating the surfacecenter.L-tIII ,* ,I I Y-t II /, 1. -.1’ I rFi.glLte 3-08-1.

Like Typhoon Ed, a week earlier,Freda held together over land for two moredays before finally dissipating.In summary, Tropical Storm Freda was aslow developing system that exhibited twocenters of action for a portion of its life.The southern center was more dominant untilreconsolidation around the northern centeroccurred just prior to Freda crossing Taiwan.Freda tracked generally to the northwest andwas identifiable over land for several daysafter it moved ashore.43

TROPICAL DEPRESSION(09W)Tropical Depression 09W, just like itspredecessor Tropical Storm Freda, was ~difficult storm to warn on. The depression’slow-level circulation remained weak andpoorly organized which made it very difficultto locate. Extensive post-analysis indicatesthat <strong>JTWC</strong> warned on the mid-level circulation,which was co-located with the organizedconvection, rather than the ill-defined lowlevelcenter which remained well to the southof the main convection.Tropical Depression 09W first appearedearly on the 7th of August as a broad 1006 mblow in the Near-Equatorial Trough approximately660 nm (1222 km) south of Guam. Thedisturbance was.mentioned on the 070600ZSignificant Tropical <strong>Weather</strong> Advisory (ABEHPGTW) . As it moved to the northwest, thedisturbance showed signs of increasedorganization on satellite imagery, promptingthe issuance of a TCFA at 0B1200Z.Aircraft reconnaissance on the afternoonof 9 August, indicated that the surfacecirculation associated with the disturbancewas broad and weak. only 10 to 15 kt (5 to8 m/s) surface winds were observed with anMSLP of 1004 mb. The TCFA was reissued dailyfrom the 9th to the llth as the systemcontinued to show convective organizationand the presence of a surface circulation inthe synoptic data. During this period, thedisturbance was very slow to develop afavorable upper-level circulation. The 200mb flow persisted in being unidirectional(eaeterly) over the convection. Thiseasterly flow sheared the convectionpreventing the accumulation of warm, moistair at the low-to-mid levels and thesttendant surface pressure drop.north of the depression. In retrospect, themore accurate and synoptically correctforecast, especially with such a weak systemas Tropical Depression 09W, would have beena west-northwest to west track along thenorthern side of the monsoon trough.Complicating the forecasting ofTropical Depression 09W was the difficultyin positioning the surface center. Thesurface circulation center was poorlyorganized because it was embedded in themonsoon trough. The displacement of themid-to-upper level circulation to the northwithin the convection, made accuratepositioning by satellite imagery of theactual low-level depreeeion center verydifficult. Figure 3-09-1 shows one of thefew times that the weak , poorly defined,low-level circulation was visible onsatellite imagery. Post-analysis ofaircraft reconnaissance, synoptic, andsatellite data, shows that the depressioncenter, as reflected in the warningpositions, was the middle-to-upper levelcenter and not the weak and poorly definedsurface circulation center which was locatedapproximately 150 nm (278 km) to the south.<strong>JTWC</strong> warned on this mid-level feature until150000Z when the convection finallydissipated over Taiwan and it was obviousthat no significant low-level circulationpersisted. It is now apparent that thesurface center moved along the monsoontrough as a sheared, sometimes exposedlow-level circulation from 111200Z to131800Z and dissipated shortly thereafteras it merged with a cyclonic circulationin the northern South China Sea. Thiscirculation would develop into TropicalStorm Gerald a few days later.The aircraft reconnaissance investigativeflight on the morning of 10 August could notfind a surface circulation center. By thistime, the system had moved out of the Near-Equatorial Trough and had become the southeasternextension of the monsoon trough.Between 1006OOZ and 1106OOZ, thedisturbance moved almost due north. Thisbrought the disturbance under the influenceof a TUTT cell located to the northwest nearTaiwan. The 200 mb flow over the system nowcame from the south and was diffluent norththrough east of the surface circulation.Satellite imagery confirms this by indicatingthe presence of the heaviest convection inthat area. At 110729Z, aircraft reconnaissanceclosed-off a surface circulation centerwith 25 kt (13 m/s) surface winds and an MSLPof 1003 mb. Based on the improved upperlevelwind flow and the closed circulationfound by aircraft, the first warning onTropical Depression 09W was issued at 111200Z.The first six warnings on 09W forecastit to move to the northwest. These forecastswere based on objective forecast aids,including the One-Way Interactive TropicalCyclone Model (OTCM).

However, winds near the center were circulation being exposed east of thelight - only 5 to 15 kt (3 to 8 m/s), while convection (Figure 3-10-1).Fi.gw 3-10-1.

Forecasting Gerald’s movement proved tobe difficult. Initially most forecast aidsand <strong>JTWC</strong>’S official forecast aid called forthe storm to move northwest and make landfallover China. However, as Holly intensifiedand moved west Gerald slowed itswestward movement, doing a small cyclonicloop early on the 17th. When Gerald slowedand moved to the south, the forecastscenario changed and called for Gerald toremain quasi-stationary for twelve totwenty-four hours, and then move slowlynortheast under the influence of the inflowpattern of the developing Typhoon Holly.Figure 3-10-2 shows Tropical Storm Geraldand the developing Typhoon Holly near theirclosest point of approach. However, aftercompleting its loop, Gerald once againresumed its westward course as Holly turnedto the northwest.Starting at 191800Z, Gerald turned tothe northeast as the very large mid-levelcirculation of Typhoon Holly, now locatedin the East China Sea, again affectedGerald. Accompanying this turn to thenortheast was a decrease in the convectionas the shearing increased. This began aweakening trend which continued untildissipation.Gerald accelerated to the northeast andweakened making landfall at 2104OOZ approximately50 nm (93 km) east-northeast of HongKong (WMO 45005). The closest point ofapproach to Hong Kong was at 2101OOZ whenGerald passed 30 nm !56 km) to the southeast.After making landfall, Gerald turned tothe north and weakened rapidly as Holly’sinfluence decreased. <strong>Report</strong>s from thecoastal stations along southern Chinaindicated winds of 20 to 30 kt (10 to 15 m/s)accompanied Gerald as it made landfall.There were no reports of damages as Geraldmcved inland over China and dissipated.49

TYPHOON HOLLY(llW)Typhoon Holly formed in the easternextension of the monsoon trough at the sametime that Tropical Storm Gerald was formingin the South China Sea. It was the fourthsignificant tropical cyclone to develop inthe trough in less than two weeks. Holly wasunusual in that it never was, by definition,a tropical depression. Because it evolvedfrom a very active monsoon trough, Holly wasalready at tropical storm strength when itfinally attained a closed circulation.Despite only reaching a maximum intensity of75 kt (39 m/s), Holly significantly affectedmuch of the western North Pacific due to itslarge wind field.Even as Tropical Depression 09W wastransiting the Luzon Straits, synoptic dataindicated that a very active trough withpoorly organized convection persisted to theeast. At 131200Z the monsoon trough extendedfrom the weakening Tropical Depression 09Weastward to just northwest of Guam. By141200z the eastern end of the trough hadmoved northwest and become sharper. Synopticdata indicated the trough had deepened withan MSLP near 1000 mb. Numerous 20 to 35 kt(10 to 18 m/s) ship reports existed south ofthe trough axis in the active southwestmonsoon. Organization of the convectionover the trough also improved during thisperiod, and suggested that a surfacecirculation was forming. These developmentsprompted the issuance of the first of twoTCFAS at 1415152.The first aircraft reconnaissancemission into the disturbance at 0000Z on the15th found only a sharp trough with 25 kt(13 m/s) surface winds and an NSLP of 998 mb.At 151200Z synoptic data indicated that thesouthwest monsoon along with a tight pressuregradient between the monsoon trough and thesubtropical ridge to the northeast, were nowgenerating gale force winds both north andsouth of the trough axis. This occurredbefore any closed circulation was analyzed.These areas of gale force winds werecontained in a NAVOCEANCOMCEN Guam (WWPNPGTW) extratropical wind warning bulletin.The second aircraft investigativemission into the disturbance closed-off acirculation center at 1602252 and found that‘Ae MSLP had decreased to 992 mb. Gale forcewinds were observed within two degrees of thecenter. The first warninng, valid at 1600002,Was issued shortly thereafter with Holly attropical storm strength.Determination of the initial intensitiesof Holly and its associated 30 kt (15 m/s)wind radii were difficult since the galeforce monsoon flow extended for hundreds ofmiles to the south and east of the storm.At first, the monsoon flow was included as agale area in the NAVOCEANCOMCEN Guam extratropicalwind warnings. However, as Hollydeveloped, it took the monsoon flow into itscirculation and subsequently became a verylarge storm. Figure 3-11-1, the 1806002surface analysis, shows the very large areainfluenced by Holly. Aircraft and satellitedata also indicated that Holly was abnormallylarge.F@Ae 3-11-1.

It was notuntil.the aircraft was more than 60 nm(111 km) from the center that it encounteredwinds above 50 kt (26 m/s). Generallythroughout the life of Holly, the highestwinds were found in a band 60 to 150 nm(111 to 278 km) from the center. Withinthis band, the strongest winds were usuallyobserved in the northern and eastern portionsof the storm. The winds observed at KadenaNoticeAB, Okinawa confirmed the aircraft reports. circulation. - -The strongest winds observed at Kad~na werein two different per~ods: from 1713002 to1809002 and from 1902002 to 1917002 whengusts above 50 kt (26 m/s) were reported.Lighter winds, corresponding to the passageof the huge center, were reported betweenthese periods. The maximum sustained windreported at Kadena was 50 kt (26 m/s) at1913552 with a peak gust to 72 kt (37 m/s) at1908502. Fortunately, despite the strongwinds and the 16.76 in (425 mm) of rain,there were no deaths or serious damagereported on Kadena AB.

TROPICAL DEPRESSION(12W)Tropical Depression 12W developed in theeastern periphery of the monsoon trough, afavorable position for development, but hada very brief existence. Although thissystem was located in an area of highlyconvergent low-level flow, the upper-levelsupport, while initially favorable fordevelopment was unable to maintain itself andcontributed to the depression’s dissipation.The combination of a weak low-level circulationand ill-defined mid and upper-levelfeatures made satellite fixing difficult,resulting in a wide disparity between fixes.Aircraft reconnaissance also experienceddifficulty in fixing this weak system.The southwest monsoon was slow tore-develop in the wake of Typhoon Holly.Late on 20 August, with a broad troughextending across the northern Philippine Sea,an area of convection began to develop at theeastern end of the trough just to the northof Guam. Synoptic data at 21OOOOZ indicatedthat a weak 1011 mb closed circulation hadformed approximately 200 nm (370 km) northnortheastof Guam. These developmentsprompted a discussion of the disturbance inthe 2106OOZ Significant Tropical <strong>Weather</strong>Advisory (ABEH PGTW). The disturbancetracked generally to the northwest during thenext two days, and slowly consolidated.Satellite imagery at 230000z showed thatthe disturbance was separating from thetrough. Dvorak satellite intensity analysisestimated that surface winds of 25 kt(13 m/s) were now associated with the system.The first aircraft reconnaissance mission wasalready underway, but could only find a broadweak circulation. No winds greater than20 kt (10 m/s) were observed. During thistime, a weak, upper-level ant~cYclonedeveloped over the convection. Its developmentwas aided by a TUTT cell locatedapproximately 6 degrees to the west whichprovided good divergence aluft. These factorscontributed tothe issuance of a TCFA at2305002.During the following 18 hours thedisturbance showed little change. AI-Iaircraft reconnaissance mission the nextmorning fixed a broad wind and pressurecenter, with an MSLP of 999 mb. Once againno winds greater than 20 kt (10 m/s) wereobserved within 250 nm (463 km) of thecenter. Dvorak satellite intensity estimatesnow indicated that maximum sustained windsof 30 kt (15 m/s) were present and forecasted35 kt (18 m/s) winds in 24 hours.Synoptic data revealed that 30 kt (15 m/s)winds were indeed present, but they werelocated approximately 250 nm (463 km)northeast of the disturbance’s center, andwere associated with the tight pressuregradient between the subtropical ridgelocated north of Marcus Island (Minami Tori-Shima (WMO 47991)) and the disturbance.However, upper-level support remainedfavorable for some intensification whichmeant that the disturbance would pose athreat within 36 hours to the military andcivilian populations on the Ryukyu Islands.Accordingly, the first warning on TropicalDepression 12W was issued at 240000z.The favorable upper-level supportproved to be short-lived. Visual satelliteimagery at first light the next morning(Figure 3-12-1) revealed an exposed lowlevelcirculation with the associatedconvective activity displaced severalhundred miles to the north. Upper-levelsynoptic data indicated the TUTT cell hadmoved northwest to near Taiwan, and theconvection had sheared to the north, remainingin the divergent region east of the TUTTcell. There was no longer any evidence ofan upper-level anticyclone over thedepression.. The upper-level flow patternover Tropical Depression 12W was nowdominated by 30 to 50 kt (15 to 26 m/s)easterly winds from a large anticyclonewhich had been present near Japan forseveral days. This flow was sufficient toprevent the redevelopment of any significantconvection near the low-level circulationcenter. With further development now55


unlikely, the final warning was issued at00002 on the 25th.There were a total of four aircraftreconnaissance missions flown into thissystem, but only two could fix a center, andboth of these had large meteorological andnavigational errors. The maximum surface or1500 ft (457 m) winds found within 200 nm(320 km) of the center were 20 kt (10 m/s).The minumum sea-level pressure found byaircraft was 995 mb at 2407082 which couldsupport 35 kt (18 m/s) winds according toAtkinson and Holliday (1977). However, nosuch winds were observed with TropicalDepression 12W.The exposed low-level circulation,completely void of convection, was trackednorthwest after the final warning was issuedwith 15 to 20 kt (8 to 10 m/s) winds andpressures near 1000 mb being reported. Thiscirculation crossed the Ryukyu Islands nearOkinawa before merging with a weak midlatitudefront in the northern East ChinaSea late on 26 August.57

TYPHOON IHE (13W)The deadliest typhoon to strike thePhilippines this century began innocentlyenough as a weak disturbance on the easternend of the monsoon trough. After passingGuam as a developing tropical storm, Iketurned to the west-southwest and graduallyintensified. Four days later, Ike attainedan intensity of 125 kt (64 m/s) and crossedthe central Philippines causing extensivedamage and over 2000 deaths. After wreckinghavoc on the Philippines, a weakened Ikemoved into the South China Sea where itreintensified to 115 kt (59 m/s) beforemaking landfall and finally dissipating overmainland China.As early as 21 August, a weak surfacecirculation was being analyzed southeast ofGuam on the eastern extension of the monsoontrough. From the 21st through the 25th,various Trust Territory of the PacificIslands reporting stations and shipobservations indicated that a weak 1009 mblow persisted in this area. The lack ofdevelopment of this circulation during thisperiod was attributed to the strong windsaloft from the same anticyclone that shearedTropical Depression 12W.Late on the 25th the upper-levelshearing began to decrease. This resulted ina rapid increase in the convection over thelow-level circulation center. By 2600002 thedisturbance, which was to develop into Ike,began to show continuity. Synoptic data at2612002 indicated the disturbance was intensifyingwith 20 to 35 kt (10 to 18 m/s) windsbeing reported on the southern periphery ofthe circulation center. The MSLP of thedisturbance was estimated to be near 1006 mb.The first aircraft reconnaissance flightinto Ike fixed the center at 27051OZ approximately120 nm (222 km) south of Guam with anMSLP of 997 mb and estimated the maximumsurface winds at 35 kt (18 m/s) . Ikecontinued moving to the northwest at a speedof 7 to 9 kt (13 to 17 km/hr) during thenext 24 hours and intensified. The stormremained compact as it passed 90 nm (167 km)southwest of Guam. At its closest point ofapproach to Guam, Ike supported winds of 50to 60 kt (26 to 31 m/s) but due to thecompact circulation, Guam suffered no illeffects from the storm. The NavalOceanography Command Center (NAVOCEANCOMCEN)on Nimitz Hill recorded only 15 kt (8 m/s)sustained winds with a peak gust to 21 kt(11 m/s) during Ike’s passage. Guam returnedto Condition of Readiness IV at 272130zbased on the 2718002 warning position andforecast track.After passing to the southwest of Guam,Ike continued tracking to the northwest forthe next 12 hours. At approximately 0600zon the 28th, Ike reached the northern most’latitude it would attain in the PhilippineSea. At that time Ike was located 160 run(296 km) due west of Guam. For the nextfour days Ike would track towards thePhilippines on a west-southwest course.At 21OOZ on the 26th, a TCFA was issuedbased on the earlier mentioned synopticreports and satellite imagery which showedrapid development of a compact circulation(Figure 3-13-1). Due to the persistentimprovement in organization and the proximityof the disturbance to Guam, the first warningon Ike was issued a few hours later at2700002.The initial forecast track called forIke to move to the northwest. This forecastwas based on persistence and the One-WayInteractive Tropical Cyclone Model (OTCM),the best forecast aid currently available tothe Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Based onthe location of the system and the forecasttrack, Guam was placed in Condition ofReadiness III at 2705302. This was the ,~~rsttime since 1 December 1982 that Guam had”beenin other than Condition of Readiness I*.(At that time Typhoon Pamela was a~proach~ngfrom the east.):iglm 3-73-1.

This change in track was due to theeffects of the subtropical ridge south ofJapan. From the 26th to the 28th, thisridge was orientated from east to west.However, as Tropical Storm June (whichdeveloped over the western Philippine Sea on28 August) moved westward, the ridge builtsouth in June’s wake and took on a morenorth-south orientation. This forced Ike ona generally west-southwest course until itneared the central Philippines. Between2718002 and 2818002, Ike did not increasein intensity due to strong shearing of theconvection from the north.Late on the 28th, the shearing decreasedslightly which allowed Ike to intensify totyphoon strength. During this intensificationthe Atkinson and Holliday (1977)pressure-wind relationship did not hold.For example, at 282341z aircraft reconnaissancereported surface and flight level windsof 75 kt (39 m/s), yet the MSLP was only991 mb. This would normally be expected tosupport winds of 45 kt (23 m/s), some 30 kt(15 m/s) less than what was being observed.After moving almost due west for 12 hours,Ike again turned to the southwest. Duringthis time Ike weakened to below typhoonforce due to the persistent strong shearingaloft. However, this weakening was to betemporary.As Ike turned more to the west on the30th, the upper-level anticyclone over Ikeredeveloped and the weakening trend ceased.By 301200Z Ike had regained typhoon intensity.During this second intensificationperiod the pressure-wind relationships werein better agreement. At 30231OZ aircraftreconnaissance found the MSLP had decreasedto 971 mb and reported 700 mb flight levelwinds of 65 kt (33 m/s). This was in muchbetter agreement with the 70 kt (36 m/s)winds expected by Atkinson and Holliday(1977). During this second intensification,Ike’s circulation became larger - moretypical of a WESTPAC typhoon.For the next two days Ike trackedtoward the central Philippines at anaverage speed of 12 kt (22 km/hr) anddoubled in intensity. Figure 3-13-2 showsIke as it neared the Philippines. On the1st of September just prior to hitting thePhilippines, the last aircraft reconnaissanceflight was made. The lowest MSLP foundwas 947 mb at O1O845Z and 700 mb flight levelwinds of 117 kt (60 m/s) were measured inthe eyewall of a 25 nm (46 km) circular eye.The maximum surface winds were estimatedat 120 to 130 kt (62 to 67 m/s).For the next 30 hours Ike cut a path ofdeath and destruction across the centralPhilippine Islands that is unequaled inrecent history (Figure 3-13-3). In the wakeof its path, Ike left a reported 1026 peopledead, with 1147 people missing and presumeddead. Published figures for the number ofpeople left homeless in the central Philippinesrange from 200,000 to 480,000. Theworst hit region was the Surigao del NorteProvince of Northern Mindanao whereapproximately 1000 people died (Figure3-13-4).F@(me 3-13-2. Typhoon lkehttenb.i@ng ub XX nathe ?%L@@tti.

Ike tracked to the west-northwest andthen to the northwest at an average speed of11 kt (20 km/hr) as it crossed thePhilippines and weakened. At 00002 on the3rd of September Ike had weakened to 45 kt(23 m/s). Ike guickly reintensified as itmoved into the South China Sea attainingtyphoon intensity by 031200Z. Aircraftreconnaissance penetrating the 30 nm (56 km)wide eye at 0308432 found 65 kt (33 m/s)winds at the surface and 68 kt (35 m/s) windsat 700 mb. Ike continued to track steadilyto the northwest at 12 to 13 kt (22 to 24km/hr) reaching an intensity of 115 kt(59 m/s) at 0418002. Ike gradually lostintensity from this point on, due to theproximity of land restricting the inflow,and shearing from a trough passing to thenorth.Ike transited across Hainan Island on 5Sqptember still packing winds of 70 to 80 kt(36 to 41 m/s). Shortly after 0000Z on the6th, Ike cro~sed the coast of mainland China,as a tropical storm, approximately 60 nm(111 km) south-southeast of Nan-Ning(WMo59431). News reports indicate Ike wasreepensible for at leaet 13 deaths in China.Extensive flooding and crop damage were alsoreported as Ike moved inland and dissipated.Figure 3-13-3.

TROPICAL STORM JUNE(14W)Tropical Storm June, the last of sevensignificant tropical cyclones to developduring August, originated in the monsoontrough like most of the other storms beforeit. June would also be typical of severalother storms during the month, in that themost difficult part of warning on the systemwould be in locating the actual surfacecenter.Even as the final warning was beingissued on the exposed low-level circulationof Tropical Depression 12W, satellite imageryindicated a large area of convectionpersisted further south over the activemonsoon trough (Figure 3-14-1). At 1200Z onthe 25th of August, synoptic data indicateda closed 1000 mb circulation had formed inthe trough. During the next two days thiscirculation drifted westward as theassociated convection tried to consolidate.Strong upper-level shearing, from the sameanticyclone which sheared TropicalDepression 12W, inhibited development on the25th and 26th. But early on the 27th, anuPPer-level anticyclone began to form overthe disturbance making conditions morefavorable for development. Although SYnOPtiCdata clearly indicated a surface circulationwas present during this time, the low-levelcenter was not consistently locatable onsatellite imagery within the broad area ofconvection. This problem would plague <strong>JTWC</strong>throughout the life of Tropical Storm June.The first ,aircraft reconnaissancemission into the disturbance at 270651z founda closed 30 kt (15 m/s) circulation with alight and variable wind center 50 nm (93 km)in diameter. Based on this information andindications from satellite imagery that theconvection was becoming more organized, aTCFA was issued at 270800Z. As typical withmost monsoon disturbances, the strongestwinds were observed south of the circulationcenter and associated with the southwestmonsoon.During the following 18 hours, synopticdata indicated the disturbance continued tointensify. However, the convection failed toshow the expected increase in organization.During much of this time satellite imageryactually indicated multiple circulationcenters were present! Although <strong>JTWC</strong> wantedto go to warning status on this disturbanceas early as 271200Z, the inability toaccurately position the surface center madethis impossible. The area of gale forcewinds, however, were covered in theNAVOCEANCOMCEN Guam, extratropical windwarning bulletin (WWPN PGFW).Between 280000Z and 280600Z thedisturbance finally consolidated into asingle circulation center (Figure 3-14-2).Aircraft and satellite fixes now began toconsistently agree on the location of thatcenter. This prompted the issuance of thefirst warning on June as a tropical stem at280600Z.F.@x.e 3-14-2. The devetophg Tfwp.ical.StohmJuneea.bto~the Ph.i2ip@Iu.

At the time of the first warning,Tropical Storm June was located 110 nm(204 km) east of Luzon. June was a broadcirculation with the strongest winds in aband 60 to 150 run (111 to 278 km) from thecenter. During the next 12 hours Juneheaded west steered by the flow along thesouth side of a mid to low-level subtropicalridge. The storm made landfall on the eastcoast of northern Luzon at about 281500Z.After landfall synoptic data indicatedthe surface circulation of June apparentlytracked to the west-northwest following thelow-level terrain over northern Luzon andre-emerged on the northwest coast atapproximately 290000z. However, the midlevelcirculation and nearly all of theconvection continued bo move almost duewest. Since the passage over Luzonoccurred at night when only infraredimagery was available, accurate positioningof the low-level center from satelliteimagery was impossible.F.igukt 3-14-3.

As June emerged in the northern SouthChina Sea a mid-latitude trough moved acrosseastern China and weakened the subtropicalridge. This allowed June to turn to thenorthwest. June made landfall at approximately3017002 on the coast of mainlandChina 130 nm (241 km) east of HOn9 KOn9(WMo 45005). Although June did intensify to60 kt (31 m/s) as it transitted the northernSouth China Sea, the storm remained poorlyorganized (Figure 3-14-3). During this timeaircraft and radar were the only accurateand consistent means of locating thecirculation center.TropicalStorm June was the first namedtropical cyclone of the 1984 season todirectly strike the Philippines. Heavy rainsfrom the combination of June and the southwestmonsoon caused extensive floodingthroughout much of Luzon, particularly alongthe west coast and in river valleys. Atleast 67 deaths were attributed to the storm.The deaths resulted primarily from heavyrains, flooding and the accompanyinglandslides. In addition to extensivedamage to crops and vegetation, over 25,000families lost their homes. However, despitethe considerable damage caused by June, itwas relatively minor compared to the deathand destruction Typhoon Ike brought to thecentral Philippines only four days later.

TROPICAL STORM LYNN(16W)After Typhoon Ike moved inland overChina early on 6 September, strong surfaceridging from the subtropical ridge kepteasterlies across much of the tropicalNorthwest Pacific. By mid-September, theridging began to give way to the southwestmonsoon. This helped set the stage for thedevelopment of Tropical Storm Lynn.The disturbance that would eventuallybecome Lynn was first noticed as an area ofpoorly organized convection near Guam on 19September. During the following three daysthe area of convection moved west across thenorthern Philippine Sea with little cievelopmentnoted. The convection was apparentlyassociated with a westward moving TUTT cell.As the TUTT cell weakened east of Luzon,divergence from an upper-level anticyclonenorth of Guam, which was ridging westward,maintained the convection. By the 22nil,asecond upper-level anticyclone had developedjust northeast of Luzon near the disturbanceand the convection began to increase. Duringthis entire time, surface synoptic dataindicated only convergent easterly tradeswere present beneath the convection.At 230000Z, the convection entered theSouth China Sea. At the same time, a leeside low-level cyclonic circulation formed inthe monsoon trough just west of Luzon,apparently the result of persistent easterlyflow across the mountainous terrain ofnorthern Luzon. This provided the low-levelcirculation which would accelerate thedevelopment of Tropical Storm Lynn.During the next several hours thedisturbance rapidly consolidated. Shipreports indicated the surface circulation had10 to 20 kt (5 to 10 m/s) winds with an hiSLPestimated at 1003 mb. The associatedconvection showed a significant increase indevelopment as it tried to organize near thelow-level circulation. In addition, a cutofflow over southern China was enhancing theoutflow from the enticyclone northeast ofLuzon. Based on this collective information,the Significant Tropical <strong>Weather</strong> Advisory(ABEH PGTW) was reissued at 231OOOZ toinclude this disturbance as a suspect area.The potential for significant tropicalcyclone development was assissed as “fair”.Cyclone Noael (OTCM). During the next 18hours Lynn aid intensify some, reachingtropical storm strength at 241800z andpeaking at 40 kt (21 m/s) at 250000z. Afterthat point in time, since Lynn had beenmoving slowly west-southwest away from theupper-level anticyclone northeast of Luzon,it lost its upper-level outflow and entereda shearing environment. This resulted in adisplacement of the convection to the northof the low-level circulation center and thestart of a weakening trend (Figure 3-16-1).In addition to the shearing, the enhancementof the anticyclonic outflow by the cut-offlow over southern China had now ceased asthe low dissipated at about 250000z.At 0600z on the 25th, it was apparentthat Lynn had become a sheared system andthat no further intensification would likelyoccur . The closest convection was locatedmore than 120 nm (222 km) to the northeast.Lynn was now expected to follow a westsouthwesttrack along the northern peripheryof the low-level monsoon trough until itdissipated over central Vietnam. TropicalStorm Lynn posed no further forecastproblems after that except for the difficultyin positioning the exposed low-levelcirculation center at night.During the twenty-four hours prior tolandfall, Lynn did experience a flare-up ofits convection. Synoptic data at 0000Z onthe 27th showed that the upper-level anticyclonehad reformed near Hainan Island andthat the flow over Lynn had become weak butidiffluent. Also possibly contributing tothis convective flare-up prior to landfallwas convergence of the low-level flow andorographic lifting; both caused by themountainous terrain inland of the Vietnamcoast. After making landfall 50 nm (93 km)southeast of Da Nang (WMO 48855) Lynnturned northwest dissipating along theVietnam/Laos border after 2718002. Therewere no reports of damage or injuries fromTropical Storm Lynn.During the next nine hours, the tropicaldisturbance continued to show signs ofincreased organization on satellite imagery.At 231800Z, imagery indicated that a centralarea of intense convection had formed.Synoptic data showed the disturbance now hadwinds of 20 to 30 kt (10 to 15 m/s). Baseaon these developments a TCFA was issued at231900Z.The first warning on Lynn as a tropicaldepression was issued at 2406002 whensatellite imagery indicated that theconvection was moving over the low-levelcirculation center and intensifying.

TROPICAJ_ISTORM MAURY(17W)During a four week period extending fromthe last week of September until the middleof October, a large-amplitude long wavetrough persisted in the western NorthPacific. This trough weakened the subtropicalridge and displaced it to the eastof its climatological position. As aresult, tropical cyclones developing in thewestern North Pacific would accelerate tothe north and recurve almost as soon as theydeveloped. Tropical Storm Maury was thefirst of five storms to develop in thewestern North Pacific during this period.As would be the case with the four stormsafter it, Maury failed to show anysignificant westward movement prior toaccelerating to the north and recurving.Tropical Storm Maury formed near MarcusIsland (Minami Tori-Shims (WMO 47991)) atapproximately the same time that TropicalStorm Nina was developing some 700 nm(1296 km) to the west-southwest. Nina’sproximity would ultimately have a significantinfluence on Maury’s future.Usury was originally detected early on27 September as an area of developingconvection on the northeast extension of themonsoon trough. Initially the trough waslinked to the trailing end of a midlatitudefront and this may have suppliedsome low-level vorticity which aided in therapid developmentof the system.The disturbance was first discussed onthe 2706002 Significant Tropical <strong>Weather</strong>Advisory (ASEH PGTW) as one of several weakcirculations embedded in the trough. Duringthe next 10 hours it became evident thatonly two circulations would dominate.Consequently the ASEH was reissued at2716002 to indicate this concern. Thesetwo circulations would soon develop intoMaury and Nina respectively.The disturbance continued to develop ata rapid pace; much faster than <strong>JTWC</strong>anticipated. Dvorak intensity analysisperformed on the 2718002 imagery indicatedthat 25 kt (13 ro/s)winds were present. Theimagery over the area two hours later showedthat a well-defined compact low-levelcirculation center had developed. Consequently,a TCFA was issued at 2723002. At2723412, Dvorak analysis of Figure 3-17-1indicated that 35 kt (18 m/s) winds werenow present in this rapidly developingsystem. Based on the satellite intensityanalysis, <strong>JTWC</strong> issued the first warning onMaury as a 35 kt (18 m/s) tropical storm at2800002. Synoptic data during this Periodwas unable to shed any light on the trueintensity of Maury.Figwce 3-17-1. A wmpac.tThop.icatStohmkkumgjubt@.Ohd% tibUaIVW o{-the @wtwmt.Lng.

The first aircraft reconnaissance,conducted early on the 28th, quickly foundthe well-defined circulation center at280303z and reported that Maury was strongerthan expected. Maximum surface winds of50 kt (26 m/s) were found both southwest andnortheast of the center. Consequently, the280000Z warning was ammended to reflectthese higher wind speeds.During the next 30 hours, Maury movedslowly west, then northwest and furtherintensified reaching its peak intensity of60 kt (31 m/s) at 290600Z. From now on themovement and intensity of Maury would begoverned primarily by the much largerTropical Storm Nina.The upper-level anticyclone which waslocated just east of Nina exertedconsiderable pressure on Maury’s convectionfrom the start. The large anticyclonebrought strong northerly upper-level windsover Maury which displaced the convectionto the south. As a result, Maury’s low -level circulation center was consistentlylocated near the northwest edge of theconvection (Figure 3-17-1). This strongwind shear prevented Maury from everattaining typhoon strength.In addition to affecting Maury’sintensity, these strong winds aloft may alsohave been restJonsible for vrevenkjnq Maurvfrom turning ;O the north on 27 and 28September. It is likely that the outflowfrom the anticyclone descended and generateda weak mid-level induced ridge north ofMaury which temporarily prevented anysignificant movement of the storm until Ninahad moved further north.On 29 September, Nina began to movenortheast and approach Maury. This broughtMaury under the influence of Nina’s largelow-level inflow. As a result, the weakridge eroded and Maury began to accelerateto the north. As Maury accelerated-to thenorth, the strong upper-level winds continued?0 displace Maury’s convection away from thelow-level center. This caused Maury’slow-level circulation to become exposed(Figure 3-17-2) and marked the start of theweakening trend. The subtropical ridgelocated to the east of Maury was ,also afactor contributing to the acceleration.With these two factors combined, Mauryreached a top speed of 26 kt (48 km/hr)between 3006002 and 3012002.The presence of the subtropical ridgedominated the <strong>JTWC</strong> forecast philosophyfrom the start. Maury was forecast to movearound the ridge and recurve to the northeast.The actual movement was fairly closeto the predicted track, although forecastingthe speed of movement and the latitude ofrecurvature was difficult due to theinfluence of Nina.F.iguw 3-r7-2.

At 301200z, Maury was approximately320 nm (593 km) northeast of Nina. Bothstorms were now moving to the northeastaround the subtropical ridge. Instead ofaccelerating to the northeast like stormsnormally do, Maury slowed since it hadentered Nina’s larger circulation. WithNina’moving to the northeast at 28 kt(52 km/hr) it took less than 12 hours tocatch Maury and assimilate it into itscirculation.Maury was no longer identifiable onsatellite imagery after 301831Z; however,aircraft reconnaissance several hours laterwas still able to locate both Maury and Nina(Figure 3-17-3). Satellite imagery at thistime however, showed that only one storm,Nina, was present (Figure 3-17-4). AtO1OOOOZ, with Maury’s continuation as aseparate system highly unlikely, tie finalwarning was issued.F.QwLe 3-17-3.

TROPICALSTORN NINA(18W)Tropical Storm Nina wastropical storm to develop in the thirdthe monsoontrough during the latter-half of September.Despite originating in a region fav~rablefor cyclogenesis, Nina never intensifiedbeyond 55 kt (28 m/s). This was due to theinability of an upper-level anticyclone topersist over the storm. The last phase ofNina’s life was noteworthy due to the storm’sreintensification and assimilation ofTropical Storm Naury into its circulation.On the 25th of September, a midlatitudefrontal system moved across thewestern North Pacific. AS the front passednorth of the monsoon trough, the trough waspulled to the northeast on the 26th. At2700002, the trough extended from the centralPhilippine Sea northeast to near MarcusIsland (Minami Tori-Shims (WMO 47991)) whereit became connected with the trailing edgeof the cold front. Embedded in this troughwere several weak circulations; mostnoticeable were the ones northeast and northwestof Guam. These would later develop intoTropical Storms Maury and Nina respectively.Synoptic data at 2700002 indicated aclosed 1004 mb circulation had formed 500 nm(926 km) north-northwest of Guam. Theconvection associated with the disturbancewas poorly organized, but a large upperlevelanticyclone north of Guam was providinggood outflow channels to the south and east.During the following twelve hours thecirculation and the associated convectionmoved north and consolidated. At 2712002numerous ship reports indicated the systemhad intensified and was detaching from thetrough. Tropical cyclone development duringthe next 24 hours now became a distinctpossibility. Consequently, the SignificantTropical <strong>Weather</strong> Advisory (ASEH PGTW) wasreissued at 2716002 upgrading the potentialfor development of this disturbance toIIfair!l . This was followed by a TCFA at2720302 based on satellite imagery whichshowed the disturbance was consolidating andbecoming comma shaped.The first aircraft reconnaissance flightinto Nina took place late on the 27th andfound only a sharp trough oriented northeastto southwest with an MSLP of 998 mb.However, a band of 30 to 40 kt (15 to 20 m/s)winds were observed south of the trough axis.This prompted the issuance of the firstwarning at 2800002.During the following 24 hours, Ninamoved slowly north reaching an intensity of45 kt (23 m/s) at 2812002. Nina failed todevelop a central dense overcast (CDO) aswould be expected with normal tropicalcyclone development. Instead, due to thedisplacement of the upper-level anticycloneto the east of the low-level circulation,Figuhc 3-18-1. The bzoad expohtd .20w=Lev&ticutation 06 Thop.icat Stohm Nina (2901022Septembu NOAAu~ud.imagay].77


Nina more closely resembled a subtropicalsystem. The convection was located polewardand eastward of the low-level center, andthe radius of maximum winds was removed fromthe center. In addition, reconniassanceaircraft found only sight temperatureincreases at the center.This displacement of the convectionnorth and east of the low-level centerintroduced uncertainty in the storm’sposition on the night of 28 September whenthe low-level circulation was poorlydefined. Analysis of satellite imageryindicated that the upper-level circulationcenter passed east of Iwo-Jima (WMO 47981),but the surface winds at Iwo-Jima remainedfrom the southeast until about 281800Z.This clearly indicates the surfacecirculation passed west of the island.During this time, synoptic data wasessential in fixing the surface center sincethe low-level center was not locatable onsatellite imagery.Early on the 29th, Nina entered thewesterlies and the convection was displacedeven further to the east remaining under thestrongest upper-level diffluence. Thisresulted in a weakening of the storm. Thebroad low-level circulation was nowcontinuously exposed, generally 100 to 180nm (185 to 333 km) west of the mainconvection (Figure 3-18-1).By early on the 30th, Nina had weakenedto depression strength with reconnaissanceaircraft unable to locate the low-levelcirculation center and satellite imageryindicating several possible low-levelcirculation centers. Nina was now foreczstto dissipate over water during the next 12to 24 hours. However, this weakening was tobe temporary.F@#uz 3-18-2.

Between 3006002 and 3018002, the lowlevelcirculation moved rapidly northeastunder the active convection resulting in arapid reintensification of Nina. Duringthis intensification, Tropical Storm Maurybecame incorporated into the largercirculation of Nina. However, there is noevidence to indicate that this intensificationwas due to the presence of Maury. At00002 on 1 October, Nina reached maximumintensity of 55 kt (28 m/s) (Figure 3-18-2).Early on the first of October, extratropicaltransition began. The convectionrapidly decreased during the day as Ninacontinued to the northeast. Nina becameextratropical between 011200Z and 011500Z,with the final warning being issued at0118002.79

TYPHOON OGDEN(19W)Typhoon Ogden was the first of a seriesof eight tropical cyclones during the monthof October which established a new recordfor northwest Pacific tropical cycloneactivity for that month. Ogden like the twostorms before it, moved almost due northfrom the time it developed until it began torecurve. Ogden had great difficulty inbecoming vertically aligned and wouldprobably never have attained typhoon intensityif it had not accelerated afterrecurvature thereby adding the translationspeed of movement to the storm’s wind field.The disturbance that developed into theeighth typhoon of the season was initiallydetected as a weak surface circulation westof Truk (WMO 91334) on the 3rd of October.NO significant convection directly associatedwith the circulation was evident on satelliteimagery at the time. The disturbance movedto the northwest over the next 18 hours andbecame part of the eastward extension of theresurging southwest monsoon trough.Synoptic data at 040000Z indicated a 10 to20 kt (5 to 10 m/s) surface circulation waspresent, with an MSLP near 1008 mb. Thepersistence of the circulation prompted itsinclusion in the 040600Z SignificantTropical <strong>Weather</strong> Advisory (ASEH PGTW).The monsoon trough began to extendnorthwestward on the 4th as it had a weekearlier when Tropical Storms Maury and Ninadeveloped. As the circulation becameembedded in the trough, the disturbancefollowed the trough orientation and trackedto the northeast. Some poorly organizedconvection associated with the surfacecirculation could now be detected on satelliteimagery. Upper-level flow up to thistime was weak but generally diffluent.On 5 October, the convection indicateda further improvement in organization andwas now consolidating in the northeastperiphery of the monsoon trough, severaldegrees northeast of the surface circulation.An upper-level anticyclone was also observedto be developing over the disturbance.Early on the 6th, the convection movedslightly southwest and continued to increasein size and organization. This brought thelow-level circulation in closer proximity tothe mid and upper-level features.It was determined from sparse synopticdata at 0600002 that the circulation hadturned more northward with an MSLP likelybelow 1004 mb. This led to the issuance ofa TCFA at 0604002. At 0606002, a ship nearthe disturbance’s center reported a 1002 mbpressure to confirm the earlier analysis.The first of seven aircraft reconnaissanceflights into Ogden occurred early on6 October. A surface center was not locatedbut a sharp low-level trough orientednortheast to southwest with an MSLP of 1000mb was evident. Maximum sustained winds of20 kt (10 m/s) were reported southeast ofthe trough axis. The second aircraftreconnaissance mission closed-off acirculation center at 0622272 with an MSLPof 999 mh and reported 15 kt (8 m/s) windsnear the broad center. Winds of 35 kt(18 m/s) were found approximately 170 nm(315 km) east-northeast of the centerassociated with the tight pressure gradientbetween the developing Ogden and thesubtropical ridge to the northeast.Intensity estimates from satellite analysisat this time indicated surface winds of25 kt (13 m/s) were present. Although thedisturbance was still located within themonsoon trough, satellite data indicated thesystem was moving north and separating fromthe trough. This in combination with theaircraft data prompted the issuance of thefirst warning on Ogden as a 25 kt (13 m/s)tropical depression at 070000Z (Figure3-19-1).F.@Iw 3-19-1.

Over the next 24 hours, Ogden trackedaround the southwest periphery of the nid-Pacific ridge. The ridge was retreatingeastward in advance of a mid-latitudetrough approaching from Japan. Althoughthe first four <strong>JTWC</strong> warnings forecasteventual recurvature to the northeast, theactual recurvature was much sharper thananticipated, with significant accelerationoccurring during the first twenty-fourhours of the forecast period. This was dueto the mid-latitude trough moving eastfaster than anticipated, resulting in a morerapid retreat of the mid-Pacific ridge.This quickly put Ogden under a southwesterlysteering flow.At approximately 0716002, Ogdenobtained tropical storm intensity. At thistime, Ogden was already accelerating to thenortheast. Part of the storm’s intensificationduring the next 30 hours would be aresult of the forward translational speedbeing added to the true wind speed. Thiswould consistently put the stronger windsin the southeast semicircle.The only land affected by Ogden wasMarcus Island (Minami Tori-Shims (WMO47991)). Ogden passed just to the east ofthe island at approximately 0802002. Theisland was subjected to the weaker, northwestsemicircle of the storm, and as aresult, no damage was reported. Thehighest known wind occurred at 0800002 whennortheast winds of 27 kt (14 m/s) wereobserved. At the same time the sea-levelpressure was 990.3 mb. Only two hoursearlier, aircraft reconnaissance reportedan MSLP in Ogden of 993 mb. This suggeststhat the intensifying surface center passedvery close to the island.At 12002 on 8 October, the midlatitudewesterlies began to accelerateOgden to the northeast in earnest and Ogdenbegan its transition to an extratropicallow as it attained typhoon intensity(Figure 3-19-2). A combination of theextratropical transition and a 20 kt(37 km/hr) northeast movement contributedto an expanded asymmetric wind field and tothe typhoon force winds in the southeastsemicircle. Aircraft reconnaissance at0821322 reported 70 kt (36 m/s) surfacewinds 30 nm (56 km) from the surface centerin the southwest and southeast quadrants.82


The ARWO also verified that extratropi-Cal transition had commenced. Stratiformclouds were observed in the surface centerand a 10 nm (19 km) northeast tilt waspresent from the surface to the 700 mbcenter. In addition, the measured MSLP wasonly 993 mb. This would normally supportwinds of 55 kt (28 m/s) according toAtkinson-Holliday (1977) pressure-windcurve. This discontinuity is oftenobserved during extratropical transition.The southwesterlies continued to shearOgden as it accelerated to the northeast,further separating the 700 mb and upperlevelcenters from the surface center.Ogden weakened to tropical storm strengthapproximately twenty-four hours after itobtained typhoon strength, even thoughmaximum sustained winds of 77 kt (40 m/s)were indicated from satellite imagery. Thesatellite intensity estimates at this timewere based on the Dvorak model of asubtropical system. Consequently, Ogden’s25 kt (46 km/hr) movement was directlyadded to the initial model intensity. Itwas apparent on satellite imagery at 0000Zon 10 October that Ogden had lost allconvection and had completed its extratropicaltransition. It still supported 55kt (28 m/s) winds and had a 32 kt (59 km/hr)northeast movement. At this time, the finalwarning was issued. The upper-level centerwas located more than one degree northeastof the surface center based on satelliteimagery. The remains of Ogden continuednortheast towards the International Datelineas an extratropical storm.83

TYPHOON PHYLLIS(20W)Typhoon Phyllis was the first of foursignificant tropical cyclones to develop inthe monsoon trough during a two day period.Three of these would form in WESTPAC, withthe fourth, Tropical Cyclone 02B developingin the Bay of Bengal. Of the four, Phylliswas by far the strongest, reaching a maximumintensity of 80 kt (41 m/s). However,despite its strength, Phyllis caused noreported damage as it remained over waterthroughout its life.As an intenisfying Typhoon Ogden beganto accelerate to the northeast on 7 October,a broad area of troughing and low-levelconvergence persisted in its wake. By lateon the 7th, the seedling of Phyllis was beinganalyzed as a weak surface circulationembedded in the trough east of Guam. Duringthe next day-and-a-half, the disturbancedrifted to the northeast with no significantdevelopment noted. Figure 3-20-1 depictsthe surface situation at 0900002 as Phyllisfinally began to develop. A broad troughextends southwest from Typhoon Ogden acrossGuam and into the Philippine Sea. Embeddedin this trough are two circulations; one tothe northeast and one to the southwest ofGuam . These would later develop into TyphoonPhyllis and Tropical Storm Roy respectively.Although surface synoptic data wassparse near the circulation northeast ofGuam, satellite imagery during the 9th andinto the 10th indicated that a compactcirculation was developing. This resulted ina TCFA being issued at 10063OZ. At the timethe TCFA was issued, Dvorak intensityanalysis indicated that surface winds of25 kts (13m/s) were present.F@uhe 3-20-1. Sut{ace ana.tyti al the time TyphoonPhyU and Tmp.ka..? SY@un Roy beganto develop(090000ZOctobti 1984).


The first warning on Phyllis was issuedat 11OOOOZ after satellite imagery indicatedthe disturbance had intensified further andnow supported winds of 35 kt (18 m/s). Bynow Phyllis had nearly detached from thetrough and would soon begin to accelerate tothe north. During the next twenty-four hoursPhyllis intensified rapidly reaching typhoonstrength by 120000z. The upgrade to typhoonstatus was based upon reports from reconnaissanceaircraft and from Dvorak intensityanalysis of Figure 3-20-2.Phyllis continued to strengthen reachinga maximum intensity of 80 kt (41 m/s) twelvehours later at 1212002. At the time Phyllisattained its peak intensity, it was locatedunder a well-defined synoptic scale anticyclone(Figure 3-20-3). This anticycloneprovided good outflow to all quadrants of thestorm. As Phyllis moved north, however, theanticyclone would remain quasi-stationarynear Marcus Island (Minami Tori-Shims (WMO47991)). As a result, less than twelvehours later Phyllis would enter the 50 to 70kt (26 to 39 m/s) westerly flow and begin toshear and weaken.Typhoon Phyllis maintained a predominantlynorthward track from the time itseparated from the monsoon trough until itbegan to dissipate. The initial movementnorthward was a result of Typhoon Ogdenweakening and displacing the subtropicalridge to the east. As Phyllis began to movenorth, a digging mid-latitude shortwaveformed a vigorous cut-off low south ofHonshu. This allowed the ridge east ofPhyllis to rapidly build back northward,keeping Phyllis under a strong southerlysteering flow. This southerly flow resultedin Phyllis accelerating to the north andprevented the typhoon from following a moretypical recurvature track to the northeast.F.igwtt 3-20-2.

As Phyllis passed north of 25N, thecut-off low with its associated frontalsystem began to accelerate to the northeast.At the same time, Phyllis began to encounterthe strong upper-level westerlies and theconvection was displaced to the east of thelow-level circulation (Figure 3-20-4).Phyllis responded by weakening at an evenfaster rate than it had earlier intensified.The last aircraft reconnaissancemission was flown into Phyllis late on 13October and found only a trough at the700 mh level where less than twelve hoursearlier, a well-developed circulationexisted. At the surface, however, thea~rcraft still found a 999 mb surfacecirculation. Satellite imagery at nearlythe same time showed a broad low-levelcirculation center defining the remnants ofPhyllis (Figure 3-20-5). All the convectionhad been displaced to the northeast. At1400002, the final warning was issued asPhyllis became indistinct from the coldfront transiting through the region.There were no reports of damage fromPhyllis although Marcus Island (Minami Tori-Shima (WMO 47991)) did report 20 to 30 kt(10 to 15 m/s) winds for almost two daysas Phyllis passed some 150 nm (278 km) tothe west.F.igute 3-20-4.

TROPICAL STORM ROY (21W)Tropical Storm Roy developed in themonsoon trough southwest of Guam at the sametime that Typhoon Phyllis was developingfurther to the northeast. Despite formingin an area climatologically favorable fortropical cyclone development, Roy was unableto persist. Strong upper-level wind shearresulted in a rapid weakening and eventualdissipation of the storm after only two daysin warning status.Early on 9 October, a weak circulationwas first analyzed in the monsoon troughsouthwest of Guam. Development of thedisturbance was slow during the next twentyfourhours due to strong wind shear from theupper-level outflow of Typhoon Ogden. Byearly on the 10th, Ogden’s influence hadlessened which resulted in the convectionover the disturbance increasing and becomingmore organized. At 1004OOZ, Dvorak intensityanalysis of the convective bandingindicated that 25 kt (13 m/s) surface windswere present. This prompted the issuance ofa TCFA at 1007OOZ.During the development stage no upperlevelanticvclone was detected over thedisturbance, although the flow did becomediffluent. As it turned out, Roy neverdeveloped an upper-level anticyclone. Thisinability to develop a good outflow patternwould ultimately be responsible for Roy’squick dissipation.The first aircraft reconnaissancemission into the system found a small 1000mb center at 11OO46Z located approximately90 nm (167 km) west-southwest of Guam.Winds of 15 kt (8 m/s) were found aroundmost of the center except for a small areaof 30 kt (15 m/s) winds in the southeastquadrant. The ‘aircraft position of thedisturbance’s center confirmed whatsatellite imagery indicated - that thesystem had turned to a more northerlyheading from the steady northeast course ofthe previous two days. This meant Roy wouldpass safely to the west of Guam.Based on the data obtained by reconnaissanceaircraft and the expectation forfurther intensification, the first warningwas issued at 110227z, valid at 11OOOOZ(Figure 3-21-1). Later that afternoon thesecond reconnaissance flight found Roy hadindeed intensified. The MSLP had decreasedto 998 mb and minimal tropical storm forcewinds existed 20 to 30 nm (37 to 56 km) fromthe center.F.igwie3-21-1. ROy jwt beifoaetit tjim.dwaning WA.Aued.

As it turned out, these would be thestrongest winds observed in Roy. Roy passed80 nm (148 km) west of Guam as a minimaltropical storm, but caused no damage to theisland. The Naval Oceanography CommandDetachment (NOCD) at Brewer Field, NAS Agana,recorded maximum winds of only 14 kt (7 m/s)during Roy’s passage.As Roy moved to the north-northeast,strong easterlies from the synoptic scaleanticyclone that was nearly co-located withthe developing Typhoon Phyllis began toshear the storm. In addition, much of themonsoon flow which had earlier been directedinto Roy was now feeding into the strongerTyphoon Phyllis. This began a weakeningtrend which continued until Roy’s dissipationless than 36 hours later.During the next twenty-four hours,ROYdid make several attempts to redevelop itsconvection about the low-level circulationcenter, but due to the strong shear, everyattempt was doomed to fail. By the 12th,Roy had become an exposed system with theoverall convection decreasing (Figure3-21-2). However, it was at this time thatthe lowest MSLP was observed. At 1205312,reconnaissance aircraft recorded an MSLP of996 mb. Despite the lower pressures, nosurface winds above 20 kt (10 m/s) werereported.Late on the 12th, the last mission intothe dissipating Roy was flown. It wasunable to locate any circulation center andobserved surface winds of 5 to 15 kt(3 to 8 m/s). This prompted the finalwarning to be issued at 1300002 as Roydissipated over water.91

TROPICAL STORM SUSAN (22W)Tropical Storm Susan was the third offour significant tropical cyclones todevelop in the monsoon trough in less thantwo days. During a brief existence Susancaused considerable damage to centralVietnam despite only intensifying to 40 kt(21 In/s).Occasionally, when a typhoon is activein the Philippine Sea a “sympathetic” stormwill form in the South China Sea. Recentexamples of such storm pairs are Abby/Carmenand Orchid/Percy from the 1983 season.mechanism at work in these cases is aThecombination of excess vorticity and convergenceat low-levels, found aroundcirculation centers embedded in the monsoontrough, and upper-level ventilation due tothe divergence in the outflow downstream(west) of the dominant typhoon in thePhilippine Sea. These “sympathetic” stormsoften exhibit erratic movement and are thevictims of significant upper-level shearing.Intensification beyond minimal typhoonstrength is unusual.As a first impression, one mightassume that this scenario was valid in theIcase of Tropical sto~ Susan.situation present as Susan wasThe surfaceforming isshown in Figure 3-22-1. The monsoon troughextends from the Marshall Islands acrossMicronesia, the Philippines, Southeast Asiaand into the Bay of Bengal. Embeddedwithin this trough is the precursor ofTropical Cyclone 02B in the Bay of Sengal,the depression that is soon to be Susan inthe South China Sea and the short-livedTropical Storm Roy just west of Guam.Tropical Storm Phyllis (soon to be typhoonPhyllis) had recently separated from thetrough and was accelerating to the north.The first impression, however, is incorrectin this case. Susan was not a sympatheticstorm induced by either of the storms tothe east, but was instead a completelyindependent system. The inflow patternsabout Roy and Phyllis disrupt each otherwhereas the flow around Susan dominates theentire South China Sea and controls muchmore mass than the other two. Given timeand more open ocean, Susan wouldprobably have become the most intense of thefour systems.F.tguhe3-22-1.

The upper-air pattern present duringthe development stage of Susan is shown inFigure 3-22-2. The anticyclone over theSouth China Sea is well-formed and distinctfrom one northeast of Guam. In fact, theupper-level anticyclone over the PacificOcean does not resemble the typical outflowpattern from a tropical storm. The systemis much more representative of theclimatological synoptic scale high. Theoverall pattern shows clearly that Susandeveloped on its own merits and not as aresult of a “s~pathetic” reaction.The disturbance, which would laterdevelop into Susan, was first noticed on 10October as a loosely defined but very broadlow-level circulation in the central SouthChina Sea. Synoptic data showed that windsof 10 to 20 kt (5 to 10 m/s) were presentwith the disturbance. The inflow patterncovered a very large area and was slow toconsolidate. During this consolidationperiod the system remained nearly stationary.By 1106OOZ the system had started toaccelerate to the west along the axis ofthe monsoon trough. The convection andorganization had both increased significantly,resulting in the issuance of a TCFA at11073OZ. BY now winds near the center were20 to 25 kt (10 to 13 m/s). The stormcontinued to develop as it moved quickly tothe west-northwest,issued at 111800z.with the first warningSusan made landfall asa 35 to 40 kt (18 to 21 m/s) tropical stormjust north of Nha Trang, Vietnam (WMO 48877)some 16 hours later (Figure 3-22-3) .

transited up the Mekong Valley. Even thoughSusan dissipated as a significant tropicalcyclone at 1300002, its remnants were stillevident three days later as an area ofconvection just to the west of Hanoi(WMO 48820). Initial reports indicate 33people were killed and some 68,000 familiesleft homeless due to the heavy rains andfloods which accompanied Susan. Thousandsof hectares of ripening autumn rice werealso reported destroyed.In summary, although Susan wassimultaneously active with three othertropical cyclones, analysis proves that itwas not a sympathetic storm induced by theinflow/outflow patterns of its companions.Susan started as a very broad systemembedded in the monsoon trough end stayedin the axis of the through as it movedinland over Vietnam.

TROPICAL DEPRESSION(23W)Tropical Depression 23w was a shortlivedsystem which developed in the monsoontrough. The lack of upper-level supportresulted in dissipation only 18 hours afterit became a significant tropical cyclone.After the dissipation of TyphoonPhyllis on 14 October, the low-level monsoontrough still extended from Southeast Asia tothe Marshall Islands. At 1500002, the upperlevelwind-flow was similar to the patternpresent several days earlier, with a largeanticyclone located near Marcus Island(Minami Tori-Shims (WMO 47991)). Inaddition, a westward moving TUTT cell wasnow located near 18N 172E. At this time theconvection associated with the monsoon troughshowed little organization. Upper-level flowover the area was generally easterly, withnortheast flow inhibiting convectivedevelopment along the northern side of thelow-level trough.Early on the 16th, the convection beganto show signs of increased organization.This was especially evident near the islandof Truk. (WMO 91334), where the eastwardextension of the monsoon trough and thestrongest low-level cyclonic turning werelocated. Synoptic data at this timeindicated a 1005 mb surface circulation waspresent. The Significant Tropical <strong>Weather</strong>Advisory (ABEH PGTW) at 1606002 mentionedthis area as having a “fair” potential forsignificant tropical cyclone development.Satellite imagery during the next 18hours showed the convection had become moreorganized with the development of a centralconvective feature. Synoptic data revealedsea-level pressures of 1003 mb to 1006 mbaround the periphery of the circulation withthe central pressure estimated to be near1000 mb. These developments prompted theissuance of a TCFA at 1700002. Upper-leveldata indicated the flow was now slightlydiffluent as the disturbance was located inthe TUTT axis.h investigative reconnaissance flightinto the disturbance closed-off a surfacecirculation at 1706002 and reported maximumsurface winds of 25 kt (13 m/s). The MSLPhad decreased to 998 mb. Since furtherdevelopment was expected, the first warningon Tropical Depression 23W valid at 1706002was issued a short time later (Figure3-23-l).During the next 18 hours, TropicalDepression 23W moved northwest and weakenedrather than intensified. Aircraft reconnaissanceat 1720302 could not locate asurface circulation, but instead observedwinds which indicated that a much largercirculation was developing to the southeast.Consequently, the final warning on thedissipated Tropical Depression 23W wasissued at 1800002.Post-analysis indicates that TropicalDepression 23W dissipated as a result ofunfavorable upper-level support. As thepoorly organized depression moved westnorthwestalong the northern periphery ofthe low-level monsoon trough, it moved intoan area of 30 to 40 kt (15 to 21 m/s)northerly upper-level winds from thecombined effects of the anticyclone (nowlocated near Iwo Jima (WMO 47981)) and theTUTT cell to the northeast. The strongwind shear over the depression created anenvironment which was unfavorable fortropical cyclone development. In comparison,the area southeast of Tropical Depression23w was located in a reqion of diffluentflow with the upper-level TUTT cell to thenortheast enhancing the diffluence.Satellite imagery reflected this favorableuPPer-level outflow as much strongerconvection was forming in this area. Thisarea of convection would soon develop intoTyphoon Thad..FigwLe3-23-1. Ttopi.cat Qqxwi%ion 23W at .tk?timeJ%? &A-4kwAn.ingUU4 Llbued.

TYPHOON THAI) (24W)Typhoon Thad developed southeast ofGuam just as Tropical Depression 23W wasdissipating several hundred miles to thenorthwest. Unlike its predecessor, Thaddeveloped under favorable upper-levelenvironment which permitted fmtherintensification. As Thad developed, ittracked steadily to the north-northwestbefore recurving to the northeask. Thetyphoon’s movement was well forecast exceptduring the initial stages.Late on 17 October, satellite imageryrevealed that an area of strong convectionwas developing a few hundred miles southeastof the short-lived Tropical Depression 23W.The development of the convection was aidedsignificantly by the presence of a tieakeningTUTT cell to the north-northeast whichprovided strong diffluence aloft over theconvection.Synoptic data at 180000z confirmed whatthe last aircraft reconnaissance missioninto Tropical Depression 23W had observed afew hours earlier; that a broad surfacecirculation was developing near Truk(WMo 91334). This circulation was underneaththe developing convection and on theeastern end of the monsoon trough. Synopticdata south of the trough axis indicated thesouthwest monsoon was reintensifying withnumerous 20 to 30 kt (10 to 15 m/s) westwinds being reported.Over the next several hours, theconvection rapidly consolidated. Inaddition, satellite imagery and synopticdata showed an anticyclone was developingaloft providing good outflow to allquadrants. As a result, a TCFA was issuedat 180630z.During the next 18 hours satelliteimagery indicated the disturbance was movingnorthwest towards Guam. With Dvorak intensityanalysis indicating 30 M (15 m/s)surface winds present and 45 kt (23 m/s)surface winds forecast in 24 hours, thefirst warning on Thad was issued at 190000Z.The initial warning forecast Thad tocontinue to move to the northwest, paes justsouth of Guam and gradually turn towards thewest-northwest in the 48 to 72 hour period.This forecaet was in good agreement with all<strong>JTWC</strong> forecast aids. Also the NOGAPSanalysis and prog series indicated thesubtropical ridge had returned closer to itsclimatological position north of Guam whichfurther convinced <strong>JTWC</strong> that this track wasreasonable.As it turned out, this forecast wouldbe wrong for two reasons. First, <strong>JTWC</strong> didnot accurately know where the low-levelcenter was located. Second, and moreimportantly., the subtropical ridge was notnearly as strong nor as far west asindicated in the analysis and prog series.Between 190000Z snd 190600z, as Thadsupposedly neared Guam (WMO 91212), thewinds on the island should have veered tothe east or southeast. Instead, theyremained from the northeast. But analysisof satellite imagery indicated that Thadwas heading directly towards Guam. Clearlysomething was amiss! <strong>JTWC</strong>’S efforts tolocate the surface center were furtherhampered by maintenance problems whichprevented reconnaissance aircraft frompenetrating the disturbances center.At 190728Z the first aircraftreconnaissance flight into the center of thedisturbance was finally made and quicklysettled the discrepancy. It located Thadalmost 180 nm (333 km) east of Guam with anMSLP of 990 mb. As a result, the 190600zwarning position relocated Thad some 120 nm(222 km) to the northeast! This meant thatthe storm would now safely c’learGuam.At 2000002, as a now well-developedThad continued to move to the northnorthwestat 13 to 14 kt (24 to 26 km/hr),it became obvious the storm was not going toturn towards the west. Clearly the subtropicalridge was not as well-establishednor as far west as the NOGAPS progs hadearlier indicated (Figure 3-24-l). <strong>JTWC</strong>now forecast continued north-northwestmovement for the next 24 hours withrecurvature to the northeast between21OOOOZ and 220000Z due to the approach ofa mid-latitude trough., As it turned out,this forecast track was excellent, with thespeeds of movement after recurvature beingonly slightly faster than anticipated.Thad intensified steadily from the time<strong>JTWC</strong> went into warning status at 190000Z,until it reached its peak intensity of120 kt (62 m/s) at 211800Z (Figure 3-24-2).By this time Thad had begun to recurve andlink-up with a mid-latitude trough. Aftermaintaining the 120 kt (62 m/s) intensityfor approximately 12 hours, Thad began aS1O.Wweakening trend which continued untilthe storm went extratropical. During thisperiod, Thad accelerated from 16 to 30 kt(3O to 56 km/hr) as it became embedded inthe westerlies. As would be expected withthe storms that accelerate after recurvature,the strongest surface winds wereconsistently observed in the southeastsemicircle.As Thad accelerated to the northeast,strong upper-level westerlies began todisplace the upper-level circulation andconvection from the surface center. Thiswas confirmed by the 22231OZ aircraftreconnaissance fix which found the 700 mbcenter 28 nm (52 km) east-northeast of thesurface center. All significant convectionwas now located north of the surface center.On the 23rd, Thad lost most of itsconvection with an exposed low-levelcirculation center visible on satelliteimagery. The final warning on this systemwas issued by <strong>JTWC</strong> at 240000z. Futurewarnings on the extratropical low werecontained in NAVOCEANCOMCEN GUAN extratropicalwind warning bulletins (WWPN PGFW).

SUPER TYPHOON VANESSA(25W)Super Typhoon Venessa, the first supertyphoon of the 1984 season, also developedinto the most intense storm of the year. Atpeak intensity Vanessa had an MSLP of 879 mb,only 9 mb above the record 870 mb observedin Super Typhoon Tip (1979). Except for abrief period when the storm brushed Guam,Vanessa remained clear of land and generallyposed a threat only to shipping.Super Typhoon Vanessa originated in theNear Equatorial Trough southeast of Ponape(WMO 91348) three days after Typhoon Thadformed some 700 nm (1296 km) further to thewest. The disturbance was initiallydetected on 20 October as an area of convectionnear 4N 163E. Its rapid developmentresulted in the Significant Tropical <strong>Weather</strong>Advisory (ABEH PGTW) being reissued at201900Z to include this area of convectionas a suspect disturbance.During the 21st and into the 22nd, thearea of convection slowly increased inorganization as the disturbance movednorthwest to just north of Ponape. Thepersistent improvement in organizationduring this period resulted in the issuanceof a TCFA at 220500Z. Sparse synoptic dataat the time of the TCFA was only able toconfirm the presence of a 10 to 15 kt(5 to 8 m/s) surface circulation. By now anupper-level anticyclone had.developed,providing good outflow to all but thenorthwest quadrant which was still feelingsome effects from the outflow of TyphoonThad. The first warning on Vanessa wasissued at 221800z when analysis of satelliteimagery resulted in an estimate that thedisturbance now supported surface winds of35 kt (18 m/s).From beginning to end, Vanessa followeda very climatological track becoming one ofthe “great-recurver” storms of 1984. Fromthe time it attained depression strengthuntil it began to recurve, it moved almostdue west-northwest. After recurving southof Okinawa, Vanessa underwent a complextransition into an extratropical low east ofJapan.Vanessa’s intensity came very close toequalling the records established by SuperTyphoon Tip in 1979. Figure 3-25-1 showsthe NSLP versus time for Vanessa as obtainedby reconnaissance aircraft. The pressuredropped 100 mb in a 48 hour period to reacha miniuum of 879 mb at 2611142. This isonly 9 mb higher than the 870 mb recordedin Tip. (These pressures convert to 155 kt(8O mls) and approximately 165 kt (85 m/s)for Vanessa and Tip, respectively, using theAtkinson and Holliday (1977) pressure-windrelationship) .The initial warning forecast Vanessa tomove west-northwest and pass over Guamwithin 48 hours as a 65 kt (33 m/s) typhoon.The accuracy of the first forecasts gave themilitary and civilian communities on Guamsufficient time to properly prepare.Consequently there was little structuraldamage on the island and no personalinjuries when Vanessa did approach as an 80kt (41 m/s) typhoon. Vanessa’s closestpoint of approach to Guemwas 90 nm (167 km)to the south-southwest at 2411OOZ. Sustainedwinds above 30 kt (15 m/s) were recorded atnumerous locations on the island with apeak gust of 59 kt (30 m/s) recorded at theNaval Oceanography Command Center(NAVOCEANCQMCEN) building on Nimitz Hill.Fi.gwte 3-25-1.

The only significant damage on Guam occurretito vegetation. An estimated 1.7 milIiondollars worth of crops were lost, principallybananas. Flooding was also reported inthe southern coastal areas of the island.Vanessa continued to intensify andmove west-northwest after it passed southof Guam. The dominate synoptic feature wasthe subtropical ridge north of Vanessawhich redeveloped in the wake of TyphoonThad. Vanessa moved along the southernside of the ridge for nearly five daysbefore recurving. It was just prior torecurvature, at 2612002 that a peakintensity of 155 kt (80 m/s) was attained(Figure 3-25-2). The ARWO flying the2611142 fix mission that observed the 879mb MSLP, described the 10 nm (19 km)circular eye as exhibiting a “fishbowleffect” with the convection in the eyewallspiraling vertically to the point ofresembling corkscrews. During this flight,at a 700 mb height of 2022 m, the 700 mbtemperature within the eye was an exceptionallyhigh 30”c. Vanessa remained asuper typhoon from 251800z to 280000Z.The recurvature which eventually tookplace on the 27th and 28th was initiallyforecast on the 2500002 warning. A frontalsystem over eastern China was identified asthe mechani~m for recurvature. Vanessa wasforecast to recurve at 21N to 22N, butactually turned to the northeast at 20N asthe frontal system moved slightly fasterthan predicted. At no point during thisperiod was Typhoon Warren in the SouthChina Sea considered to be a factor inVanessa’s movement since Vanessa was thedominant storm both in size and strength.The final phase of Vanessa’s life wasa complex transition to an extratropicallow . Interaction with the front beganshortly after recurvature. The 2823302aircraft reconnaissance mission indicatedthe transition was underway with stratocumulusundercast present throughout muchof the storm. Vanessa continued to weakenuntil the transition was complete.Post-analysis indicates that extratropicaltransition was completed by3012002 as satellite imagery showed noconvection was present. Vanessatransitioned to a storm force low along thefront and rapidly moved off to the northeast.The final warning was issued at31OOOOZ.105

TYPHOON WARREN(26W)Typhoon Warren was the most erraticmoving tropical cyclone of 1984. The systemwas the subject of two TCFAS. It made botha cyclonic and anticyclonic loop and variedin speed from quasi-stationary for 12 hoursto 8 kt (15 m/s). Warren’s erratic movementswere due to interactions with eastwardmoving mid-latitude troughs and SuperTyphoon Vanessa and due to its location inthe monsoon trough.The precursor of Warren appeared lateon 17 October as an area of poorly organizedconvection at the trailing end of a shearline approximately 300 nm (556 km) northeastof Mindanao. Synoptic data at the timeindicated that a broad 15 to 25 kt (8 to 13m/s) circulation was collocated with theconvection and embedded in the monsoontrough. Over the next 24 hours the convectionpersisted and appeared to be separatingfrom the shear zone while increasingslightly in organization and intensity.This prompted the first TCFA to be issued at1815002. Aircraft reconnaissanceinvestigated the alert area at 1901592 andfound a broad weak surface circulation withan MSLP of 1006 mb. Satellite imagery nowshowed the convection to be decreasing whichwas confirmed by the ARWO who reported thatno significant convection was directlyassociated with the disturbance. The TCFAwas cancelled at 1911302 based on the lackof persistent significant convection nearthe low-level center, strong upper-leveleasterly winds over the region, and theproximity of the disturbance to land.Over the next several days the surfacecirculation weakened and moved west-southwestalong the trough axis across the Philippinesand entered the South China Sea on 22.!..,., .! .October. During this period synoptic dataindicated that several weak circulationswere embedded in the monsoon trough. Lateon 22 October the tropospheric patternbecame more favorable for development.Synoptic data showed that west of Palawan astrong northeast monsoon outbreak combinedwith a moderate southwest monsoon to thesouth had produced a well-defined surfacecirculation. Meanwhile, upper-leveldiffluence developed over the South ChinaSea on the western edge of an anticyclonelocated east 05 Luzon (Figure 3-26-l).On 23 October the disturbance rapidlydeveloped. Satellite imagery at 2303002showed that an exposed low-level circulationcenter was present some 30 to 60 nm (56 to111 km) southeast of the developing intenseconvection. Satellite data also indicatedthat the tightly wrapped surface circulationwas moving north towards the convection.The 30 to 40 kt (15 to 21 m,’s) eastsoutheastupper-level wind over thedisturbance, while providing some diffluence,which contributed towards development, alsohindered the surface circulation fromaligning with the convection. At 2306002the disturbance was again mentioned on theAEEH, followed several hours later by thesecond TCFA at 2311OOZ. With continueddevelopment evident, the first warning wasissued at 18002. Infrared satellite imageryat the time of the first warning indicatedthe surface center was now located on theeastern edge of the Central Dense Overcast(CDO). Although Dvorak satellite intensityanalysis on the 2318002 infrared imageryindicated that 35 kt (18 m/s) winds werepresent, <strong>JTWC</strong> did not upgrade Warren fromFiguze3-26-1. 200 mb anatqdh at 230000ZCkiobet.The di6@ence oueAthe SouthChina-% wab@@ient .too-Mow(daz.tendevelop, d-thoughitwouldtieh tindctthe .Low-levztci,tcu.htion ~nombewning coticated with the convection.107


depression status until 12 hours later whenvisual imagery confirmed that the upgradewas warranted. Post analysis indicatesthis upgrade should have occurred at2318002. Warren and the monsoon troughmoved north over the next 18 hours. Visualsatellite imagery showed that a partiallyexposed low-level circulation center wasnow evident on the northeast edge of theconvection.Between 2406002 and 2700002 Warrenmoved erratically. It did a small cyclonicloop on the 24th and 25th, before resuminga slow westward course followed by a turnto the north and a 12-hour quasi-stationaryperiod between 2612002 and 2700002. Thiserratic movement was partially due toWarren’s remaining embedded in the monsoontrough and the passage of a mid-latitudetrough to the north.During this period, despite the stronguPPer-level easterly winds which keptnearly all the convection west of the lowlevelcenter, Warren strengthened totyphoon intensity. Aircraft reconnaissanceat 2603302 found a band of 60 to 70 kt(31 to 36 m/s) surface winds in the southsemicircle of Warren. These winds we= theresult of the southwest monsoon enhancingWarren’s circulation. Warren maintainedthis minimum 65 kt (33 m/s) typhoonintensity through 2818002.Warren became quasi-stationary at2612002. At this time Super TyphoonVanessa (located some 960 nm (1778 km) tothe east of Warren in the central PhilippineSea) was moving towards the northwest.Warren,now came under the influence ofVanessa’s large inflow and a mid-latitudetrough passing to the north. (This troughwould also be responsible for Vanessa’srecurvature) . Warren responded by turningto the east-northeast and accelerating to7 kt (13 km/hr) (Figure 3-26-2). Thisplaced the Philippine Islands north of 14Nincluding Clark AB and the Subic Bay NavalFacilities in imminent danger of being hitby Warren. As a result, all Navy and AirForce Bases in the region were placed inCondition of Readiness I early on the 28th.Fortunately, Warren’s interaction withVanessa and the mid-latitude trough wasshort-lived sparing the Philippines a directhit. On 28 October, with Vanessa recurvingand the trough axis to the east, Warrenslowed and commenced an anticyclonic turnback to the west. At its closest point ofapproach, Warren was 120 nm (222 km) westnorthwestof Clark AB (WMO 98327). As theeffects of the trough and Vanessa eased,Warren completed its turn to the west on29 October. The highest wind reported atClark AB was 22 kt (11 m/s) at 2820552, withthe total rainfall on 28 and 29 Octoberreaching 8.74 inches (222 mm) . No significantdamage was reported at any of themilitary bases.Figwce3-26-2. TyphoonWattenaA i.tmovedZO thteat-notiheut undti$he in&.%enceo{ SupeATyphoonVanebAa.

Other coastal areas and marineinterests were not nearly as fortunate.Heavy rains caused landslides in severalcoastal towns killing at least 42 people.High seas capsized and sank the interislandpassenger ferry, MV VENUS (746 tons)on 28 October off Torrijos and BondocPeninsula. About 36 people were killed butat least 213 passengers were saved. Inaddition, a 930 ton ship, the LorenzoContainer VIII was sunk on 28 October near14.ON 120.6E, with eight crew members listedas missing.Ridging developed in the low to midlevelsin wake of the mid-latitude troughpassage. The subtropical ridge now becameanchored across the northern part of theSouth China Sea. Another surge of thenortheast monsoon entered the South ChinaSea on 29 October and began to expandWarren’s wind radii in the northernsemicircle. Aircraft data indicated thatWarren was beginning to weaken as it drewcooler, dryer air into its center. The ARWOreported that the center was surrounded bystratocumulus clouds. This was also evidenton satellite imagery as the convection beganto decrease in intensity. The deep-layerednortheast monsoon flow pushed Warren’s lowlevelcirculation to the west-southwest on30 October and created a significant tiltfrom the surface to the 700 mb center. Onthe 31st, the hard convection was associatedwith the 700 mb center, displaced approximately60 nm (111 km) west-northwest of theweakening surface center (Figure 3-26-3) .<strong>JTWC</strong> issued the final warning at 3106OOZsince the 30 kt (15 m/s) surface center wasno longer expected to become aligned withthe mid-level center and the convection.This prognosis held true, but becauseWarren’s low-level circulation was still ina region of positive, low-level vorticity,dissipation occurred much slower than wasforecast. Satellite imagery still showedthat a well-defined low-level circulationwas present 24 hours after the last warningwas issued. Warren’s displaced convectioncrossed the central Vietnam coast on1 November with moderate to heavy rainforecast. The combination of the northeastmonsoon and dissipating surface circulationjust offshore resulted in 30 to 35 kt(15 to 18 mls) winds along the Vietnamcoast. By 1800z on 1 November the surfacecirculation was no longer discernible onsatellite imagery and synoptic data on 2November was inconclusive as to the locationof the weakening surface center.finally dissipated.Warren hadF.@he 3-26-3.

TYPHOQN AGNES(27w)Typhoon Agnes was the first of threetropical cyclones to develop during themonth of November. It was also the laststorm of the season to directly hit thePhilippines. From the time of the firstwarning until it made landfall over centralVietnam, Agnes moved rapidly on a nearlystraight west-n”orthwest course.The system that eventually developedinto Typhoon Agnes began as an isolated areaof weak convection near the equator on 28October. Synoptic data at the time hintedthat a weak 5 kt (3 m/s) surface circulationmight be present beneath the convection nearlN 149E. The southwest monsoon at this timewas restricted to the South China andnorthern Philippine Seas and did not assistin the development of this system. Even inits incipient stage, however, a small upperlevelanticyclone was analyzed over thedisturbance providing good ventilation.The system slowly developed during thenext three days as the area of convectionand associated weak circulation moved northwestto near 4N. Late on the 31st,satellite imagery revealed that asignificant increase in convection andorganization was taking place. Thisprompted the issuance of a TCFA at 00002 on1 November.During the next six hours the disturbancerapidly pulled itself together into apotent, compact circulation. The firstaircraft reconnaissance mission into thealert area at O1O513Z found a closedcirculation with maximum surface winds of50 kt (26 m/s). Analysis of satelliteimagery conducted just prior to the flighthad indicated that only 35 kt (18 m/s) windswere to be expected. The first warning onAgnes as a tropical storm was issued a shorttime later at O1O6OOZ.From the time the disturbance wasinitially detected until the TCFA wasissued, Agnes had moved slowly to thenorthwest. By early on the lst, Agnes hadmoved far enough north to be influenced bythe easterly flow along the south side ofthe broad mid- to low-level subtropicalridge which now extended from the datelinewest to the coast of Vietnam. This ridgeand its associated easterly steering flowpersisted throughout the life of TyphoonAgnes and kept the storm on a west-northwesttrack from the 1st of November until itdissipated over Vietnam six days later.This ridge was also responsible for makingAgnes’ windenhancementfield asymmetric. Due to theof the storm’s circulation bythe easterly trades, Agnes’ wind field wasconsistently stronger and extended to alarger radii in the northern semicircle.This asymmetry would be present throughoutmuch of the life of Agnes.As Agnes transited the Philippine Seait steadily intensified reaching a peakintensity of 120 kt (62 m/s) at 0418002.This peak intensity occurred just prior toAgnes making landfall 10 nm (19 km) southof Borongan (WNO 98553) on the centralPhilippine Island of Samar. Figure 3-27-1is satellite imagery of Agnes approximatelytwelve hours prior to reaching maximumintensity.Agnes weakened as it crossed thecentral Philippines, but due to its rapidspeed of movement was able to maintaintyphoon intensity. After emerging in theSouth China Sea, Agnes once again intensified,this time to 100 kt (51 m/s).Agnes maintained this intensity until itmade landfall 20 nm (37 km) north of Qui-Nhon, Vietnam (WMO 48870) at approximately11OOZ on 7 November (Figure 3-27-2). Afterlandfall Agnes continued to track to thewest-northwest and rapidly weakened. Thefinal warning by <strong>JTWC</strong> was issued at 080000z.Typhoon Agnes caused substantialdamage and loss of life when it crossed thePhilippine Islands. Storm surge floodingof low-lying coastal ar’eason the islandsof Samar and Leyte was particularly severe.In addition, heavy rainfall causedextensive flooding. The winds, floods andmudslides combined to leave over 350,000homeless. At least 564 people are knowndead as a result of the storm. When thenumber dead are combined with the number ofpeople reported missing, the final deathcount is expected to be near 1000. Newsreports indicated that the damage exceeded600 million pesos (30 million U.S. dollars).When Typhoon Agnes made landfall onVietnam three days later, there wasadditional destruction of property and lossof life. Heavy rains brought floodingwhich severely affected the rice harvestand winter crop cultivation.111

SUPER TYPHOON BILL(28W)The second and last super typhoon ofthe 1984 season led a rather unusual life.After forming east of Guam, it made a smallcyclonic loop before heading to the westsouthwest.Two days later, Bill passed justto the south of Guam by which time it hadaccelerated to almost 20 kt (37 km/hr).After causing some damage on the island ofGuam, Bill entered the Philippine Sea andturned to the west-northwest. Although itwas expected to recurve to the northeast andfollow a track sirni~a-rto that of SuperTyphoon Vanessa, due to a complex steeringenvironment including interaction withTyphoon Clara, Bill instead turned to thesoutheast before eventually dissipating eastof the Philippines. Although this track isunusual, it is not uncommon for late seasonstorms to move erratically for at least aportion of their life.Super Typhoon Bill originated as anarea of convection on 7 November near 14N154E . The convection was at the trailing endof an eastward moving cold front and thismay have supplied some low-level vorticitywhich contributed to the rapid developmentof the disturbance. The rapid developmentof the convection resulted in a TCFA at0802002. At the time of the TCFA, analysisof satellite imagery already indicated that25 kt (13 m/s) surface winds were present.The first of a total of 35 aircraftreconnaissance flights flown against Billfound the disturbance’s circulation centerat 0807212 but observed surface winds ofonly 20 kt (10 m/s) . The system showedcontinued development during the next 12hours, and as a result the first warningissued at 081800z.From the 8th until the 10th, Billslowly tracked in a 25 nm (46 km) widecyclonic loop,and continued to strengthen.At 00002 on 10 November, reconnaissanceaircraft reported that Bill had intensifiedto a 50 kt (26 m/s) tropical storm with anMSLP of 990 rob.Bill attained typhoon strength on the10th . The weak steering flow which had beenpresent was replaced by easterly flow as thesubtropical ridge strengthened to the northof the storm. At approximately 1006OOZ Billcompleted its cyclonic loop and started tomove to the west and then southwest on acourse that would eventually bring thetyphoon to the southern tip of Guam. On thellth and 12th, Bill accelerated and graduallyintensified (Figure 3-28-l). With Billforecast to pass within 60 nm (111 km) ofGuam, tropical cyclone Condition of ReadinessIII was set on the afternoon of 11 November.On the morning of the 12th, with Bill nowwasFigww 3-28-1.

forecast to pass less than 30 nrn (56 km)south of the island, Condition of ReadinessII was set at 1123302.Although Guam was forecast to be in the“dangerous” semicircle of the typhoon, thestrength of the flow around the ridge didhave a positive effect on Guam. Billaccelerated from 15 to 20 kt (28 to 37 km/hr)as it passed Guam thereby considerablyshortening the time the typhoon affected theisland. This rapid forward speed may alsohave been a factor in the slow intensificationof the system. Only a 15 kt (8 m/s)increase in intensity occurred during the 24hour period between 111800z and 1218002 asBill approached Guam.Condition of Readiness I was set on theevening of the 12th, as Bill neared Guam.Typhoon Bill passed the southern tip of theisland at 121630z at a distance of 12 nm(22 km).

craft during the two missions flown whenBill was at its closest point of approach toGuam. On the island itself, a maximum windof 63 kt (32 m/s) was recorded at theNational <strong>Weather</strong> Service Station (WMO 91217)at 1216582, with a gust of 84 kt (43 m/s)recorded at Reserve Craft Beach in ApraHarbor. Typhoon Bill caused some damage onGuam, particularly to agricultural cormnodities.Banana trees that had been slightlydamaged during the passage of Super TyphoonVanessa were completely destroyed by Bill.Total crop damage was estimated at. $7,707,911. Some minor flooding alsooccurred but no personnel injuries werereported. Electrical power was out inceitain sectionsdays.Bill entered the Philippine Sea late onthe 12th moving west at 20 kt (37 km/hr) andintensifying. In the 24 hour period between1312002 and 1412002, the MSLP dropped 54 mbto 912 mb and the wind speed increased from95 kt (49 m\s) to 125 kt (64 m/s) (Figure3-28-3). The pressure continued to drop foranother 12 hours, with aircraft reconnaissanceat 1422342 reporting an MSLP of 909mb. This was the lowest pressure reportedin Bill. Bill attained super typhoonstrength at approximately 1418002 which itthen maintained for 12 hours.Bill turned to the west-northwestearly on the 14th and by 1418002 had turnedof th= island for several to the northwest. It now appeared that Billwas starting to move around the western endF.iguze3-2~-3. TyphoonU CIAit appea.ted onM.WX.& imagay whileundmgoing tip.idLI.tevIb.iIfica-tion(140044ZNouemba OMSP viAuo.L.imag~g)of the subtropical ridge. What wasinitially expected to be a simple recurvaturescenario would soon become a complexinteraction between Bill, the approachingTyphoon Clara (now developing near Truk(WMO 91334)), the mid-latitude westerlies,and the northeast monsoon. These factorswould eventually cause Bill to weaken,double back on its present track andeventually dissipate.Bill slowed down as it moved to thenorthwest and by 1518002 was moving at 7 kt(13 km/hr) down from the 15 kt (28 km/hr)movement of twenty-four hours earlier.This was due to the passage of a midlatitudetrough to the north which weakenedthe subtropical ridge. Bill now began toweaken as it encountered strong upperlevelwesterlies which disrupted its outflowand sheared the convection to the northeast(Figure 3-28-4). This marked the start ofa weakening trend which would continueuntil dissipation.At 12002 on the 15th, the subtropicalridge reintensified temporarily forcingBill back on a west-northwest course whichit maintained until late on the 16th. Onthe 17th, Bill started to track to thenorthwest as the ridge weakened once again.It now appeared that recurvature wasfinally going to occur. At 1800002 Billturned again, this time to the northeastbut unfortunately this was not to be thestart of the long awaited recurvature.At this time, three factors wereinvolved in the steering of Bill: TyphoonClara had become the dominant circulation inthe Philippine Sea (Figure 3-28-5), the flowaround the subtropical ridge was waning, andthe northeast monsoon was gaining strength.The subtropical ridge was the first loser inthis tug-of-war as Clara’s large low-levelcirculation started to draw a weakening Billto the southeast. Figure 3-28-6 shows therapidly weakening Bill with little convectionremaining as it moved towards Clara.Bill continued to track to the southeastand weaken under the combined influenceof Typhoon Clara and the westerlies.Aircraft reconnaissance at 1911302 confirmedthis weakening trend. The MSLP had risen to997 mb and the maximum observed 700 mb flight118

level wind was 28 kt (14 m/s). (Since themission was flown at night, no surface winddata were available.) Based on the aircraftreconnaissance data and the lack of convectionand organization on satellite imagery,Bill was downgraded to a tropical depressionand finaled at 191200z. As it turned out,this was premature. Early on the 20th, withClara completing recurvature along 132E andaccelerating to the northeast, its influenceon Bill weakened and Bill began to regeneratesome convection. Visible imagery indicatedthat a low-level circulation center waspresent. Aircraft reconnaissance a shorttime later, flying in the daylight at the1500 ft (457 m) level at 2002052 reportedthat Bill was still moving to the southeastand now had an MSLP of 999 mb. The aircraftalso reported, that a well-defined low-levelcirculation with 40 to 55 kt (20 to 28 m/s)winds was present! The strongest winds werelocated in the western semicircle of thestorm and were being enhanced by the northeastmonsoon. As a result Bill was returnedto warning status as a tropical storm at200600Z (Figure 3-28-7).Although the aircraft wind data suggeststhat Bill intensified between 1912002 and2006002, this is not considered likely. Dueto the weak mid-level winds reported on the191130Z fix mission, <strong>JTWC</strong> had the impressionthat Bill was rapidly dissipating. In factBill still possessed a well-defined surfaceFigww?3-2~-6.

TYPHOON CLAFil (29w)Typhoon Clara was the last significanttropical cyclone to develop during the monthof November. It developed into a textbook,late-season recurver and was noteworthy dueto its effect on Super Typhoon Bill.Clara began as a large, low-latitudedisturbance in the eastern Caroline Islands.It was located by surface synoptic databefore it was identified in satelliteimagery. This disturbance first appearedlate on 11 November as a weak circulationnear 4N 164E and received first mention asa suspect area in the 120600Z SignificantTropical <strong>Weather</strong> Advisory (ABEH PGTW). By130000Z, a very broad area of convectionwas associated with the circulation. Thecirculation’s development was aided by thepresence of a disturbance in the SouthernHemisphere near the Solomons whichstre~gthened the westerly flow south of thecirculation. These westerlies combined withthe northeast trades to the north to supplythe excess low-level vorticity needed forcontinued development. The upper-levelpattern was also favorable with anticyclonesover Super Typhoon Bill and over theSolomons providing divergence aloft over thedeveloping system. This cross-equatorialinteraction at both the surface and 200 mblevel was instrumental in the development ofTyphoon Clara.The area continued to consolidatethroughout the day and at 131600z the ABEHwas reissued upgrading the system’s potentialfor development to “fair”. Analysis ofsatellite imagery at this time yielded anintensity estimate of 25 kt (13 m/s) with aforecast to intensify. An aircraftinvestigation was requested for later in theday and with continued development evident,a TCFA was issued at 1320302. AT 1404542aircraft reconnaissance found a surfacecenter with 15 to 25 kt (8 to 13 m/s) winds;consequently warning number one was issuedat 140600z.

From this point on, Clara was a wellbehavedand well forecast system. As Claraintensified it developed into a largecirculation. As early as 1512002, Claracontrolled as much inflow as Bill, and bylate on the 16th was clearly the dominant ofthe two storms. Progress along its trackwas typical of a well-behaved fast movingtyphoon, and anticipated well in advance by<strong>JTWC</strong> . Typhoon Clara recurved just east of132E. As Clara recurved, it passed within500 nm (926 km) of the weakening SuperTyphoon Bill. This proximity to Billdisrupted Clara’s outflow and resulted in aslight weakening late on the 18th and intothe 19th. However, Bill’s effect on Clarawas considerably less than the major courseand intensity changes that Clara inflictedon Bill. Late on the 19th, as Clara recurvedto the northeast and opened on Bill, itreintensified to 105 kt (54 m/s). This wasjust 5 kt (3m/s) less than the peak intensityof 110 kt (57 m/s) recorded prior to recurvature.Figure 3-29-2 shows Clara after it hadcompleted recurvature and was about tobegin extratropical transition with afrontal system to the northeast. Thistransition was of the complex variety inwhich the typhoon merges with an existingfront and becomes a wave on the front.This wave then propagates along the frontand usually accelerates to the northeast.In this process the typhoon loses all of itsconvection and tropical characteristics butstill retains a strong low-level wind field.In Clara’s case, the transition was rapidand complete by 2112002. The extratropicallow was still discernible on satelliteimagery as a frontal wave 30 hours later.Figww 3-?9-2.

As Clara accelerated to the eastnortheastrit passed to the north ofIwo-Jima (WMO 47981) which put the islandin the dangerous semicircle of the typhoon.Sustained winds of 40 kt (21 m/s) withgusts to 63 kt (32 m/s) were reportedduring Clara’s passage. However, no knowndamage was sustained on the island.In summary, Clara was one of theclassic typhoons of 1984. Forming at lowlatitudesas a very broad disturbance,Clara slowly consolidated and deepened intoa 110 kt (55 m/s) system. Moving rapidlyacross the western Pacific, Clara recurvedand, in textbook fashion, transitioned intoan extratropical low while accelerating tothe east-northeast. During Clara’s entirelifetime, Super Typhoon Bill was active inthe same portion of the ocean. Even thoughthey were at times close to each other,Bill had no noticable effect on Clara’strack and only minor influence on Clara’sintensity.125

TYPHOON DOYLE(30W)Typhoon Doyle was the final tropicalcyclone of the 1984 season and the only oneto develop during the month of December.Doyle followed a typical recurvature trackand remained over open water throughout itslifetime.The tropical disturbance that was tobecome Doyle first appeared as an area ofconvective activity near 5N 156E at 00002 onthe 1st of December. It was mentioned as anew suspect area on the 0106002 SignificantTropical <strong>Weather</strong> Advisory (ABEH PGTW) andwas given a “poor” potential for significanttropical cyclone development.During the next 36 hours the disturbancemoved west-northwest and graduallyincreased in intensity and organization.During this time satellite imagery showedthe disturbance was developing good upperlevelsupport in the form of anticyclonicoutflow. With the potential for significanttropical cyclone development now consideredto be ‘fair”, the AEEH was reissued at0218002.Aircraft reconnaissance early on the3rd was unable to locate a surfacecirculation, but did find a trough with anMSLP of 1004 mb. The system continued toshow signs of increased organizationprompting the issuance of a TCFA at O311OOZ.On the afternoon of the 4th, aircraftreconnaissance indicated that the MSLP haddropped to 1001 roband that 25 kt (13 m/s)surface winds were now associated with thedisturbance. Again no low-level circulationcenter could be found. Since continued slowdevelopment was evident on satellite imagery,the TCFA was reissued at O411OOZ. At thistime imagery showed several spiralingconvective bands were present indicatingthat the formation of a significant tropicalcyclone was imminent. Also present at thistime was a Southern Hemisphere low-levelcirculation in the Coral Sea east of CapeYork. This vortex contributed to thedevelopment of Doyle by increasing thewesterly low-level flow to its south.Satellite imagery at 0416002 indicatedthat the system now had some intenseFigute.,3-30-1.

convection near the center of the developingcirculation and that two intensifying,convective bands were present. With Dvorakintensity analysis ~f this imagery indicatingthat 35 kt (18 m/s) surface winds werepresent, the initial warning on Doyle wasissued at 0418002.An investigative flight into Doyleseveral hours later was finally able tolocate the storm’s center at 0501292observing 40 kt (21 m/s) surface winds andmeasuring a central pressure of 994 mb.The surface center was very small -measuring a mere 5 nm (9 km) in diameter,with the maximum winds located 5 nm (9 km)from the center and decreasing rapidlyoutward. The small size of the surfacecenter may have been a factor in theinability of previous reconnaissanceflights to locate it.During the next 48 hours, Doyleslowly intensified. Aircraft reconnaissanceconfirmed this slow development until themission late on 6 December, when the centralpressure was measured at 973 mb, a drop of18 mb in just 12 hours. Maximum sustainedsurface winds of 90 kt (46 m/s) wereobserved on the north side of the stormwhere the easterly trades were enhancingDoyle’s circulation. Doyle was upgraded totyphoon strength at 0700002 based on thisinformation. Accompanying this intensificationwas a change in movement to a morenorthwesterly track.The plotted values of equivalentpotential temperatures versus the MSLP forthe 30 hours prior to 0700002 Decemberindicated the strong possibility of rapiddeepening during the next 36 hours(Dunnavan, 1981). This indication wasincorporated in the 0700002 December warningwith some modification. The warnings priorto 0700002 had indicated no significantincrease in intensity was likely due to thepresence of the northwest monsoon flow tothe north of the storm. Since thatsituation was still present, intensificationto more than 120 kt (62 m/s) was notforecast. At this time the area north ofDoyle was marked by the presence ofstratocumulus clouds indicating thestability of the atmosphere in that region.At 072047Z the MSLP had decreased to935 mb, a fall of 43 mb in 24 hours(Figure 3-30-1). Maximum sustained windsreported by the ?.RWO at this time were110 kt (57 m/s). After 0720472, Doyle’scentral sea-level pressure began to rise -reaching 993 mb at 0920372 December (a riseof 58 mb in 48 hours). An unusual featureof Typhoon Doyle was the way the maximumsurface winds lagged the occurrence of itsMSLP . According to the best trackintensities, which are based on allavailable data, Typhoon Doyle reached amaximum intensity of 125 kt (64 m/s) at0900002 some 27 hours after the lowestminimum sea-level pressure was recorded!FZgtie 3-30-2.

Between 0912002 and 1000OOZ, Doyleturned to the north and rapidly weakenedfrom 95 kt (49 m/s) to 45 kt (23 m/s).Satellite imagery during this time showed adramatic decrease in the intensity andextent of Doylets convection. After1000OOZ Doyle weakened more gradually whileaccelerating to the northeast. The finalwarning was issued at 1106OOZ as the nearlyconvection-free low-level circulationcenter dissipated as a significant tropicalcyclone (Figure 3-30-2).There were no reports of damages fromTyphoon Doyle as it remained over openwater throughout its lifetime.129

TROPICAL CYCLONEOIATropical Cyclone OIA, the onlytropical cyclone to develop in the NorthIndian Ocean during the Spring transitionseason, distinguished itself by its nonclimatologicaltrack. After developing inthe western Arabian Sea, Tropical CycloneOIA turned to the west-southwest andtransited through the Gulf of Aden ratherthan moving to the north or northwest alongthe climatologically favored track andmaking landfall along the east coast of theArabian peninsula. This is the onlytropical cyclone of record to transitthrough the Gulf of Aden.The disturbance which eventually developedinto Tropical Cyclone OIA was firstdetected on 23 May as an area of strongconvection centered approximately 180 nm(333 km) southeast of Socotra (WMO 61599).The convection persisted and the disturbancewas mentioned as a suspect area in theSignificant Tropical <strong>Weather</strong> Advisory(AJ3EHPGTW) at 06002 on the 24th. Thedisturbance moved slowly northwestwardduring the next 36 hours with a gradualincrease in organization. At 2600512, aTCFA was issued prompted by the persistentslow improvement in the convectiveorganization and by indications fromsatellite imagery that a small but wellorganized low-level circulation wasdeveloping. Throughout this period,synoptic data was unable to confirm thepresence of a surface circulation. At261055Z, the first warning on TropicalCyclone OIA, valid at 260600z was issued.This was based on a Dvorak intensity analysisof Figure 3-31-1 which estimated that surfacewinds of 35 kt (18 m/s) were present.Tropical Cyclone OIA remained a compactsystem throughout its life. Even at itsmaximum intensity of 45 kt (23 m/s) between00002 and 06002 on 27 May, the radius ofgreater than 30 kt [15 m/s) winds wasestimated to be only 60 nm (111 km). Thesmall size of Tropical Cyclone OIA coupledwith the sparsity of synoptic data in thearea precluded any verification of surfaceintensity estimates. Intensity estimates onthis system were based entirely on Dvoraksatellite analysis.Tropical Cyclone OIA moved northwestwarduntil late on the 26th, when it turned to thewest-southwest and entered the Gulf of Adenin response to a strong subtropical ridgeover Saudi Arabia. Tropical Cyclone OIAtransited up the Gulf of Aden until it madelandfall at 03002 on 28 May, approximately35 nm (65 km) west of Berbera, Somalia(WMO 63160). After making landfall,Tropical Cyclone OIA moved inland overSomalia and dissipated.

TROPICAL CYCLONE02BTropical Cyclone 02B, the first tropicalcyclone to develop in the North Indian Oceand~ring the Fall transition season, led arather uneventful life. Tropical Cyclone02B was first detected early on the 10th ofOctober as a broad area of convection in thenorth-central Bay of Bengal. During the daythe convection showed improved organizationwith cirrus plumes indicating an upper-levelanticyclone existed over the disturbance.No surface synoptic data was available inthe area; however, curvature of the low-levelclouds indicated a developing low-levelcirculation Was present. Dvorak intensityanalysis of the 1018OOZ imagery estimatedthat surface winds of 30 kt (15 m/s) werepresent in the system. This prompted theissuance of the first of two TCFAS at1023OOZ.During the next two days the disturbancedeveloped a broad circulation covering thehead of the Bay of Bengal and intensifiedslowly. Upper-level support remainedfavorable for further intensification andthe only inhibiting factor for developmentwas the proximity of the disturbance to landwhich restricted the low-level inflow.Although Tropical Cyclone 02B formed in themonsoon trough, most of the flow from thesouthwest monsoon was being drawn intoTropical Storm Susan (22W) which wasdeveloping in the South China Sea. If Susanhad not been present, Tropicalmay have developed into a moreCyclone 02Bpotent system.The developing cyclone tracked slowlynorth until 06002 on the 12th when a turn tothe northwest began. At 1218002 the firstwarning was issued. The initial warning onTropical Cyclone 02B was prompted bysatellite imagery which indicated that thesystem had intensified significantly over thepast 24 hours and was now supporting windsof 45 kt (23 m/s). Once again due to lackof synoptic data, the intensity estimate wasbased solely on Dvorak analysis of satelliteimagery. Tropical Cyclone 02B maintainedthis intensity for the next 12 hours untilstrong upper-level easterlies began toshear the convection to the west on 13October (Figure 3-32-l). ‘This started aweakening trend which continued untildissipation.As it weakened, Tropical Cyclone 02Bcontinued moving to the northwest andincreased its forward speed.

Since Tropical Cyclone 03B was firmlyembedded in the southeasterly flow south ofthe ridge axis, the initial forecasts calledfor continued west-northwest movement, withdissipation over India within 36 hours.However, Tropical Cyclone 03B was to take adifferent course. Responding to the flowaround the periphery of the ridge, the stormcurved to the north and moved into theneutral point, lost all steering, and beganan erratic movement. It took at least oneclockwise loop (and perhaps a second) beforefinally drifting slowly to the northwesttowards India.As the storm moved north on the 12th,it deepened rapidly attaining a peakintensity of 85 kt (44 m/s) at 1218002.During this development stage, the systemwas vertically aligned with the upper-levelanticyclone. From early on the 12th untilthe 14th, a 6 to 15 nm (11 to 28 km) wideeye was observed on satellite imagery(Figure 3-33-2).Figu/w 3-33-2.

On 14 November, strong upper-levelsouthwesterlies began to exert pressure onthe storm. As a result, the convectionbegan to be displaced to the northeast.Gradual weakening followed under thisshearing environment until the storm madelandfall where final dissipation occurred.Unfortunately, the erratic movement andintensification of Tropical Cyclone 03Boccurred very close to the east coast ofIndia and brought a prolonged period ofheavy rain and flooding to much of theregion. At least 430 are known dead as aresult of the storm. Over 20,000 peoplewere stranded in coastal villages due toflooding.At 150600Z the last warning was issuedas the nearly convection-free low-levelcenter dissipated over land just south ofNellore (NMO 43245).

2. COMPARISON OF OBJECTWE TECHNIQUESa. GeneralObjective techniques used by <strong>JTWC</strong>are divided into five main categories:(1) extrapolation;(2) climatological and analogtechniques(3) model output statistics;(4) dynamical models; and(5) empirical and analyticaltechniquesIn September 1981, <strong>JTWC</strong> began toinitialize its array of objective forecasttechniques (described below) on the sixhour-oldpreliminary best track position (aninterpolative process) rather than theforecast (partially extrapolated) warningposition, e.g. the 0600Z warning is nowsupported by objective techniques developedfrom the 0000Z preliminary best trackposition. This operational change hasyielded several advantages:*techniques can now be requestedmuch earlier in the warning development timeline, i.e. as soon as the track can beapproximated by one or more fix positionsafter the valid time of the previous warning:*receipt of these techniques isvirtually assured prior to development ofthe next warning; and●improved (mean) forecast accuracy.This latter aspect arises because <strong>JTWC</strong> nowhas a more reliable approximation of theshort-term tropical cyclone movement.Further, since most of the objectivetechniques are biased for persistence, thisnew procedure optimizes their performanceand provides more consistent guidance onshort-term movement, indirectly yielding amore accurate initial position estimate aswell as lowering 24-hour forecast errors.b. Description of Objective Techniques(1) XTRP -- Forecast positions for24- and 48-hours are derived from theextension of a straight line which connectsthe most-recent and 12-hour-old preliminarybest track positions.(2) CLIM -- A climatological aidproviding 24-, 48-, and 72-hour tropicalcyclone forecast positions (and intensitychanges in the western North Pacific) basedupon the position of the tropical cyclone.The output is based’upon data records from1945 to 1981 for the western North PacificOcean and 1900 to 1981 for the North IndianOcean.(3) TPAC -- Forecast positionsare generated from a blend of climatologyand persistence. The 24- and 48-hourpositions are equally weighted betweenclimatology and persistence and the 72-hourposition is one quarter persistence andthree quarters climatology. Persistence isa straight line extension of a lineconnecting the current and 12-hour-oldpositions. Climatology is based on datafrom 1945 to 1981 for the western NorthPacific Ocean and 1900 toNorth Indian Ocean.1981 for the(4) TYAN78 -- h updated analogprogram which combines the earlier versionsTYFN 75 and INJAN 74. The program scansa 30-year climatology with a similarhistory (within a specified acceptanceenvelope) to the current tropical cyclone.For the western North Pacific Ocean, threeforecasts of position and intensity areprovided for 24-, 48-, and 72-hours: RECR -a weighted mean of all accepted tropicalcyclones which were categorized as “recurving”during their best track period; STRA - aweighted mean of all accepted tropicalcyclones which were categorized as moving“straight” (westward) during their best trackperiod; and TOTL - a weighted mean of allaccepted tropical cyclones, including thoseused in the RECR and STRA forecasts. For theNorth Indian Ocean, a single (total) forecasttrack is provided for 12-hour intervals to72 hours.(5) COSMOS -- A model outputstatistics (MOS) routine based on thegeostrophic steering at the 850-, 700-,and 500-mb levels. The steering is derivedfrom the HATTRACK point advection model runon Global prognostic fields from theFLENUMOC13ANCEN NOGAPS prediction system.The MOS forecast is then blended with the6-hour past movement to generate theforecast track.(6) OTCM”-- (One-way InteractiveTropical Cyclone Model) A course-mesh,three-layer in the vertical, primativeequation model with a 205 km grid spacingover a 6400 X 4700 km domain. The model’sfields are computed around a bogused,digitized cyclone vortex usingFLENUMOCEANCEN Numerical VariationalAnalysis (NVA) or NOGAPS prognostic fieldsfor the specified valid time. The pastmotion of the tropical cyclone is comparedto initial steering fields and a biascorrection is computed and applied to themodel. FLENUMOCEANCEN NOGAPS globalprognostic fields are used at 12-hourintervals to update the model’s boundaries.The resultant forecast positions arederived by locating the 850 mb vortex atsix hour intervals to 72-hours.(7) NTCM -- (Nested TropicalCyclone Mode}) A primitive equation modelwith similar properties as the OTCM. TheNTCM differs by containing a finer scale“nested” grid, initializing on NVA analysisfields only, not containing a (persistence)bias correction, and being a channel modelwhich runs independent of FLENUMOCEANCENprognostic fields (not requiring updatingof its boundaries) . The “nested grid”covers a 1200 X 1200 km area with a 4L kmgrid spacing which moves within the coursemeshdomain to keep an 850 mb vortex at itscenter.(8) TAPT -- ?m empirical techniquewhich utilizes upper-tropospheric windfields to estimate acceleration associatedwith the tropical cyclones interaction withthe mid-latitude westerlies. It includesguidelines for duration of acceleration.upper-limits, and probable path of thecyclone.152


(9) CLIP -- A statisticalregression technique based on climatology,current intensity and position and pastmovement. This technique is used as a crudemeasure of real forecast skill when verifyingforecast accuracy.(10) THETA E -- An empiricallyderived relationship between a tropicalcyclone’s minimum sea-level pressure (MSLP)aid 700 mb equivalent potential temperature(9e) was developed by Sikora (1976)Dunnavan (1981). By monitoring MSLP andtrends, the forecaster can evaluate thepotential for sudden, rapid deepening of atropical cyclone.andee(11) WIND RADIUS -- Following ananalytic model of the radial profiles ofsea-level pressures and winds in maturetropical cyclones (Holland, 1980), a set ofradii for 30-, 50-, and 100-knot winds basedon the tropical cyclone’s maximum winds havebeen produced to aid the forecaster indeterming forecast wind radii.(12) Dvorak -- An estimation of atropical cyclone’s current and 24-hour forecastintensity is made from interpolation ofsatellite imagery (Dvorak, 1973, 1982) andprovided to the forecaster. ‘These intensityestimates are used in conjunction with otherintensity-related data and trends to forecasttropical cyclone intensity.<strong>JTWC</strong> currently uses TPAC, TAPT,TYAN78, COSMOS, and OTCM operationally withNTCM in an evaluation mode to develop trackforecasts.c. Testing and ResultsA comparison of mean and median forecasterrors (for a non-homogeneous data set) isprovided for selected techniques in Table4-6 for all western North Pacific tropicalcyclones and in Table 4-8 for all NorthIndian Ocean tropical cyclones.A comparison of selected techniques isincluded in Table 4-7 for all western NorthPacific tropical cyclones and in Table 4-9for all North Indian Ocean tropical cyclones.In these tables, “X-AXIS” refers to techniqueslisted vertically. The example inTable 4-7 compares COSM to OTCM, i.e. in the461 cases available for a (homogeneous)comparison, the average vector error at 24hours was 125 nm for COSMOS and 129 nm forOTCM . The difference of 4 nm is shown in tielower right. (Differences are not always exact,due to computational round-off whichoccurs for each of the cases available forcomparison) .153

CHAPTER V - APPLIED TROPICAL CYCLONE RESEARCH SUMMARYThe following articles delineate theextent of the research program at NavalEnvironmental Prediction Research Facility(NAVENVPREDRSCHFAC) dedicated to supportingthe operations at <strong>JTWC</strong>. There are threemajor research departments at NAVENVPRED-RSCHFAC, each contributing to the overall.program; research on current and futuretropical cyclone models is performed in theNumerical Modeling Department, the TacticalApplications Department conducts statisticalapplications studies, and the SatelliteProcessing and Display Department developscomputer interactive techniques.together to provide tropical cycloneforecasters a means to investigate immediatesynoptic situation changes. This new SPADSsystem will be able to process satellite IR,VIS, and microwave data as they becomeavailable and translate these digital data‘into meteorological information which is tobe merged with the FNOC wind/height fieldanalysis. To maximize the utility of thesystem, the modified wind/height field shouldbe updated every three hours so the forecasterscould detect the most recent chanqesin the synoptic-scale flow influencing thetropical-cyklone movement.THE NAVY TWO-WAY INTEIUACTIVENESTED TROPICALCYCLONE MODEL (NTCM)TROPICAL CYCLONEFORECASTING AIDOBJECTIVEDECISION-TREE(Fiorino, M., NAVENVPREDRSHFAC)(Elsberry~ R.L. and J.Chan, NAVPGSCOL)Two techniques for incorporatingpersistence into the NTCM forecast weretested on 157 independent cases from the1982 and 1983 WESTPAC seasons. The firstmethod uses the bias-corrector strategy inwhich the winds around the storm aremodified to force the storm to initiallymove with the observed current motion. Thebias-corrector is a pre-processing techniquebecause the forecast track is affectedbefore the model integration. The secondmethod uses the post-processing technique ofCOSMOS. In this method, the 72-hour forecastposition is retained and a combinationof persistence and a straight line betweenthe initial position and 72-hour point isused to fill in for the 24- and 48-hourpositions. Superior results were obtained.with the post-processing method. The median#orecast errors at 24, 48, and 72 hours were90, 201, and 296 nm compared to 102, 225,and 312 nm for the pre-processing method.Although the bias-corrector degraded themedian 72-hour forecast error of the NTCM,it was effective in reducing the speed bias.One-Way influence boundary conditionshave been built into the NTCM. The initializationof the large-scale flow and thevortex were also modified to accommodate thechange to the lateral boundary conditions.Experiments are underway to determine howthe time variation of the flow at theboundaries affects the forecast track. Thenew version of the NTCM with one-wayboundaries will be ready for the 1985WSSTPAC season.TROPICAL CYCLONE SYNOPTIC ANALYSIS DISPLAYSYSTEM(Tsui, T., NAVENVPREDRSCHFAC)A new SPADS,software is under developmentfor the purpose of demonstrating thatthe existing computer softwares can beadapted for SPADS and be streamlinedIn view of the short tour lenqth andlimited forecast experience of man~ <strong>JTWC</strong>‘2D0’s, an objective approach to the tropicalcyclone track forecasting decision makingprocess is desired. Forecasters needassistance in determining when, where, andhow to use the objective aids. A researcheffort is now underway to study theperformance of different tropical cycloneforecast aids for various cyclone characteristicsunder different environmentalconditions. Each of the factors, including,center fix errors, affecting the accuracy ofobjective forecast aids will be incorporatedinto a decision tree to assist the forecasterin following a logical and reasonablepath in selecting appropriate aids in anygiven situation. In FYE15,NTCM will be usedas a test case to prove the concept.<strong>JTWC</strong> CLIMATOLOGICALDATA SET(Tsui, T., NAVENVPREDRSCHFAC)The <strong>JTWC</strong> tropical cyclone data base hasbeen updated and expanded. The data baseresides on FNOC computer disks on a stormby-stormbasis containing fix data, besttrack information, and official andobjective aid forecasts. All three datasets have a separate but consistent dataformat . The data period begins at 1966 forthe fix data, 1945 for the best trackinformation, and 1967 for the official andobjective aid forecasts. Currently, thelast year included in this data set is 1983.A STATISTICAL MSTHOD FOR 1 to 3 DAY TROPICALCYCLONE TRACK PREDICTION(Matsumoto, C. R. and W. M. Gray, ColoradoState University)Growing out of the Colorado StateUniversity’s own research effort, a new156


method of incorporating climatology,persistence and synoptic data to forecastthe 1 to 3 day tropical cyclone motion hasbeen developed in an attempt to improve theaccuracy of track prediction. Cyclones arestratified based on their position relativeto the 500 mb subtropical ridge to betterdefine the environmental influences on thecyclones. The 72-hr track forecast issegmented into three 24-hr time steps topermit the application of updated persistenceand synoptic data relative to the newcyclone position as the 24-hr displacementsare stepped forward to the desired forecastprojection. Since the initial resultswarrant further investigations,NAVENVPREDRSCHFAC will evaluate the programunder a simulated operational environment inFY85 .TROPICALCYCLONE HAVEN STUDIES(Brand, S.

Both polarorbital and geostationary satellite data areused to study the evolution of certainweather effects or of a particular weatherphenomenon at a given time.are intended for publishingThese examplesin the NTAGVolume 6, Part I, Tropical <strong>Weather</strong> Analysisand Forecast Applications, and VOlumePart II, Tropical ~clone <strong>Weather</strong> Analy~isand Forecast Applications. This NTAG Volume6 is scheduled to be published in 1988.STATISTICAL TROPICAL CYCLONE FORECASTINGAIDS FOR THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE(Keenan, T., Bureau of Meteorology,Australia)Statistical models for forecastingSouthern Hemisphere tropical cyclones havebeen adapted and developed. From a limitedsample test, it is apparent that theAustralian aids provide a level of assistancesimilar to the <strong>JTWC</strong> aids. The forecasterrors of the Australian statistical aidsrange from 111 to 148 nm for 24-hr forecastand from 215 to 252 nm for 48-hr forecast.The classical regression technique turns outto be the best aid. This regressiontechnique is derived from prescreened datasets which consist of 1000, 850, 700, 500,and 300 mb height fields, climatologypredictors and persistence predictors. Allthe Australian aid programs reside on <strong>JTWC</strong>disk files in the FNOC computer system.Forecasters can activate these aids byproviding date-time-group, previous andcurrent storm locations and intensities.SATELLITE BASED TROPICAL CYCLONE INTENSITYFORECASTS(Cook, J. and T. Tsui,NAVENVPRSDRSCHFAC)An objective spiral analysis techniquefor tropical cyclone intensity forecastinghas been installed on the Satellite DataProcessing And Display System (SPADS).Through the satellite IR image displayed bySPADS, the technique first accepts a userdescribed outline of a major cloud band ofthe tropical cyclone. The technique thenobjectively finds the best fitting sphericallogarithmic spiral to the cloud band, andperforms multiple Fourier analyses of theradiance field along orthogonal spirals tothe band. By using these Fourier coefficientsalong with climatology andpersistence predictors, tropical cycloneintensity forecasts can be deduced fromregression equations. Independent testsshow that the spiral technique possessesremarkably better skill in estimating thecurrent intensity (6 kts RNS errors) thanthe Dvorak technique (15 kts R&E errors).Also, the spiral technique has a reliable12-hr intensity forecasting skill (14 ktsRMS errors).CHARACTERISTICS OF NORTH INDIAN OCEANTROPICAL CYCLONE ACTIVITY(Lee, C. S. and W. M. Gray, Colorado StateUniversity)A detailed individual case analysis ismade of each of the North Indian Ocean (NIO)tropical cylcones which occxrred during the1979 First GARP GlobalExperiment (FGGE)period. Each NIO tropical cyclone’scharacteristics from genesis to decay arediscussed. These tropical cyclones arefound to form almost exclusively within themonsoon trough. Low-level equatorialwesterly winds and Southern Hemisphereinfluences appear more important for the NIOtropical cyclones than for monsoon troughtropical cyclone formations in otherregions. However, their basic structure,intensity change, and movement characteristicsare very similar to tropical cyclonesoccurring in the other regions. ANAVENVPREDRSCHFAC technical report of thisstudy will be published in early 19S5.157


TROPICAL CYCLONE READINESS CONDITIONSETTING PROGIW.M(Brand, S. NAVENVPREDRSCHFACScience Applications, Inc.)and Jarrel, J.,A procedure for setting tropicalcyclone readiness conditions with a highdegree of reliability has been developed.The methodology utilizes a large number ofcomputer-simulated forecasts for actualtropical cyclones since 1899 that passednear Key West, FL and Guantanamo Bayr Cuba.Wind probabilities were computed from theseforecasts assuming present-day officialforecast error characteristics, and thencompared to hindsight estimates of actualwinds. These data were used to establishtropical cyclone condition thresholds atdesired levels of confidence as related towind probability. Sample nomography with95% threshold confidence values have beendeveloped for hurricane readiness conditionsat Key West and Guantanamo Bay. In thecoming year, the readiness condition settingprogram will be adapted for five Pacificsites (Subic Bay, Buckner Bay, Yokosuka,Guam, and Pearl Harbor). In addition, thisprogram will be developed for the afloatunits in the Pacific area.158

APPENDIXDEFINITIONSIIBEST TRACK - A subjectively smoothedpath, \-ersus a precise and very erratic fixto-fixpath, used to represent tropicalcyclone movement.CENTER - The vertical axis or core ofa tropical cyclone. Usually determined bywind, temperature, and/or pressure distribution.CYCLONE - A closed atmospheric circulationrotating about an area of low pressure(counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere).EPHEMERIS - Position of a body (satellite)on space as a function of time; usedfor gridding satellite imagery. Sinceephemeris gridding is based solely on thepredicted position of the satellite, it issusceptible to errors from vehicle pitch,orbital eccentricity, and the oblatenessof the earth.EXPLOSIVE DEEPENING - A decrease in theminimum sea level pressure of a tropicalcyclone of 2.5 mb/hr for 12 hrs or 5.0 mb/hrfor six hrs (ATR 1971).EXTRATROPICAL - A term used in warningsand tropical summaries to indicate that acyclone has lost its “tropical” characteristics.The term implies both poleward displacementfrom the tropics and the conversionof the cyclone’s primary energy sourcesfrom release of latent heat of condensationto baroclinic processes. The term carriesno implications as to strength or size.EYE - A term used to describe thecentral area of a tropical cyclone when itis more than half surrounded by wall cloud.FUJIWHARA EFFECT - An interaction inwhich tropical cyclones within about 700 nm(1296 km) of each other begin to rotate aboutone another. When intense tropical cyclonesare within about 400 nm (741 km) of eachother, they may also begin to move closer toeach other.MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WIND - Highest surfacewind speed averaged over a one-minute periodof time. Peak gusts over water average 20to 25 percent higher than sustained winds.RAPID DEEPENING - A decrease in theminimum sea level pressure of a tropicalcyclone of 1.25 mb/hr for 24 hrs (ATR 1971).RECURVATURB - The turning of a tropicalcyclone from an initial path toward the westor northwest to a path toward the northeast.RIGHT ANGLE ERROR - The distance describedby a perpendicular line from the besttrack to a forecast position. (See figure4-1) .SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE - A tropicalcyclone becomes “S.lgnlficantwwith theissuance of the f;rst numbered warning bythe responsible warning agency.SUPER TYPHOON/HURRICANE - A typhoon/hurricane in which the maximum sustainedsurface wind (one-minute mean) is 130 kt(67 m/s) or greater.TROPICAL CYCLONE - A non-frontal lowpressure system of synoptic scale developingover tropical or subtropical waters andhaving a definite organized circulation.TROPICAL CYCLONE AIRCR4FT RECONNAISSANCECOORDINATOR - A USCINCPACAF representativedesignated to levy tropical cyclone aircraftweather reconnaissance- requirements on reconnaissanceunits within a designated area ofthe PACOM and to function as coordinatorbetween USCINCPACAF, aircraft weather reconnaissanceunits, and the appropriate typhoon/hurricane warning center.TROPICAL DEPRESSION - A tropical cyclonein which the maximum sustained surface wind(one-minute mean) is 33 kt (17 m/s) or less.TROPICAL DISTUF.BANCE - A discrete systemof apparently organized convection---generally100 to 300 nm (185 to 556 km) in diameter--originating in the tropics or subtropics,having a non-frontal migratory character, andhaving maintained its identity for 24 hoursor more. It may or may not be associatedwith a detectable perturbation of the windfield. As such, it is the Sasic genericdesignation which, in successive stages ofintensification, may be classified as atropical depression, tropical storm ortyphoon (hurricane).TROPICAL STORM - A tropical cyclone withmaximum sustained surface winds (one-minutemean) in the range of 34 to 63 kt (17 to 32m/s) inclusive.TROPICAL UPPER-TROPOSPHERIC TROUGH(’l’UTT)-‘A dominant climatoloaical svstem. and a dailvsyn-optic feature, of ;he sun&er season over “the tropical North Atlantic, North Pacificand South Pacific Oceans,” from Sadler, J.C.,Feb. 1976: Tropical Cyclone Initiation bythe Tropical-Upper Tropospheric Trough(NAVENVPREDRSCHFAC Technical Paper No. 2-76).TYPHOON/HURRICANE - A tropical cyclonein which the maximum sustained surface wind(one-minute mean) is 64 kt (33 m/s) or greater.West of 180 degrees longitude they arecalled typhoons and east of 180 degrees theyare called hurricanes. Foreign governmentsuse these or other terms for tropical cyclonesand may apply different intensity criteria.VECTOR ERROR - The distance described bya straight line from the forecast position tothe position at verification time as foundon the best track. (See Figure 4-l).WALL CLOUD - An organized band ofcumul~form clouds immediately surroundingthe central area of a tropic>l cyclone. ‘Thewall cloud may entirely enclose or onlypartially surround the center.215
