     The track coordinates, central pressure and 1-minute average
  maximum sustained wind values were obtained from the operational
  forecast/advisories issued by the Tropical Prediction Center/National
  Hurricane Center located in Miami, Florida.   A 1-minute averaging
  period is the standard used by all U. S. civilian and military
  warning services for tropical cyclone warnings.

for that hour was of course obtained from the 05/0900 UTC Forecast/

between the 0300 and 0900 UTC values for those parameters.

Note #1: Based upon GPS dropsonde and FLW data from a reconnaissance
aircraft which departed the storm shortly before the center moved inland
around 1545 UTC, it appears that Gabrielle probably peaked at 50 kts
with the strongest winds over water south of the center as it approached
the North Carolina coast.

Note #2: No intermediate bulletin was issued at 0600 UTC, and Gabrielle
was downgraded to depression status at 0900 UTC.  However, based on a
peak recon FLW of 53 kts at 0247 UTC, it seems likely that the system was
still a tropical storm at 0600 UTC.

Note #1: A 13/0900 UTC QuikScat pass indicated a few unflagged 35-kt wind
vectors just east and south of the center, suggesting that TD-08 could
have been a tropical storm for a few hours.  However, by the 1500 UTC
advisory time, the system's satellite appearance suggested weakening.

Note #2: The 14/1500 UTC advisory MSW was 40 kts.  However, earlier (at
1118 UTC) the SFMR reported winds to 51 kts in the SW quadrant, and 
T-numbers from SAB and TAFB were T3.0 at 1200 UTC.  Given that by the
1500 UTC advisory time, the system's satellite signature was beginning
to degrade a little due to increasing shear, it seems very possible
that 45 kts is a good estimate for the MSW at 1200 UTC.  Similarly,
the MSW was not reduced to 35 kts until the 2100 UTC advisory, so I
have retained the 1500 UTC value of 40 kts for the 1800 UTC synoptic
hour data point.

Note #1: The center of Hurricane Humberto crossed the Texas coast just 
east of High Island at 0700 UTC with the MSW estimated at 75 kts.   The 
lowest CP measured by recon shortly before landfall was 986 mb.

Note #2: Humberto was downgraded to a tropical storm in the 1500 UTC
advisory, when the CP and MSW were estimated at 990 mb and 55 kts,
respectively.  The values above for the 1800 UTC synoptic hour data
point represent an interpolation between the 1500 and 2100 UTC
advisory estimates.  No intermediate bulletin was issued at 1800 UTC.

Note #1: The gap in the track from 21/0600 to 22/1800 UTC was due to
a computer problem with the WX-ATLAN e-mail list through which the author
receives the OPC High Seas Forecasts.  

Note #2: From the 25/0300 UTC NHC discussion: "A QuikScat pass at 24/2136
UTC indicated that the circulation of Jerry had opened up into a sharp
trough within the southwesterly flow ahead of a large extratropical LOW.
Consequently, Jerry is no longer a tropical cyclone and this is the last
advisory.  As Jerry accelerated this evening, maximum winds at the base
of the trough increased to about 40 kts according to the QuikScat data;
hence, the apparent upgrade back to a tropical storm.  The remnants of
Jerry should continue to race northeastward and become further entrained
into the extratropical circulation."

Note: A NOAA Hurricane Hunter plane investigating Karen during the 
evening of the 26th found surface winds of 62 kts.  Given that the
storm's satellite appearance was significantly degraded from earlier in
the day, it is highly likely that Karen had been a hurricane, and this
will likely be reflected in the Best Track to be prepared during post-
season analysis.

Note: I followed the remnants of Melissa past the final advisory due to
the fact that convection continued to flare up in association with the
system, which led to Dvorak numbers from SAB increasing briefly on
1 October.  The remnant LOW continued to track generally northwestward
across the Atlantic and was last referenced in a High Seas Forecast
at 04/0600 UTC near 22N/50W.

  Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida, for locations east of longitude
  140W, and from the Central Pacific Hurricane Center in Honolulu,
  Hawaii, for locations west of longitude 140W.  A 1-minute averaging

Note: The remnant LOW of TD-13E meandered around for several days with

enough to warrant resumption of advisories.  By early on 25 September
the remnant LOW had opened up into a trough from 14N to 21N along 130W.

so following issuance of the last advisory, then began drifting toward
the south or southeast.  By the morning of the 4th it had become quite
weak and diffuse.

                          ----------------------

     The track coordinates and 1-minute average maximum sustained wind
  values in general were taken from operational warnings issued by the
  Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) of the U. S. Air Force and Navy,
  located at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.  The central pressure and 10-minute
  average maximum sustained wind estimates for most systems were obtained
  from warnings issued by the Japanese Meteorological Agency (JMA), which
  is the World Meteorological Organization's Regional Specialised Meteor-
  ological Centre for the basin.  In a few instances, information from
  warnings issued by other Asian warning centers may have been utilized.
  The center position coordinates from JMA and other centers were com-
  pared with those from JTWC and annotations made in the Remarks column
  when the differences in general amounted to 40-50 nm or more.

     Michael V. Padua of Naga City in the Philippines, owner of the
  Typhoon 2000 website, sends me cyclone tracks based upon warnings
  issued by the Japanese Meteorological Agency and the Philippines'
  Atmospheric, Geophysical & Astronomical Services Administration
  (PAGASA).  A special thanks to Michael for his efforts.

Note: Interestingly, while JMA weakened the system on 28 September and
downgraded it to a low-pressure area (LPA), PAGASA upgraded Hanna to
minimal tropical storm status.  As I have usually done in past years, I
have based the track on the warning agency reporting the highest 
intensity.  During the phase of its life in the Philippine Sea, Hanna
was a broad, monsoon depression-type of tropical cyclone; hence, it is
not surprising that there are significant differences in center position
between the two agencies.   Jose Garcia of Puerto Rico reports that a
check of QuikScat data about six hours before landfall in Luzon revealed
some 30-35 kt vectors, so it appears likely that gale-force winds were
present in Hanna when it made landfall in the Philippines.

Remarks in the JTWC SWTOs on 29 September suggest that the old LLCC 
dissipated east of the Philippines and that the surface development in
the South China Sea was a new LLCC forming under the mid-level center
of the old disturbance.  However, both JMA's and PAGASA's warnings
show continuity, tracking the former TD/TS Hanna across Luzon, so I
have followed those agencies with the above track.

              !!!!!!  IMPORTANT NOTE - PLEASE READ  !!!!!!

     To repeat the caveat which is included in the Author's Note
  at the end of the cyclone summaries--the tropical cyclone tracks
  I prepare are based upon the operational warnings/advisories/
  advices/bulletins which are issued by the various tropical cyclone
  warning agencies around the world.   Users of these tracks should
  be aware that they are preliminary and subject to revision during
  post-seasonal analyses of the cyclones by the forecasters and
  analysts at the several warning centers.

     For the Atlantic and Northeast Pacific basins, official tropical
  cyclone reports and "best tracks" can be found at the website of
  the Tropical Prediction Center/National Hurricane Center:

     http://www.nhc.noaa.gov>

     The Joint Typhoon Warning Center's website contains links to their
  Annual Tropical Cyclone Reports which include that agency's "best
  tracks" for tropical cyclones in the Northwest Pacific basin, the
  North Indian Ocean, and the Southern Hemisphere:
