A few thoughts on the best track: - Additional fixes between synoptic times are a good idea but JTWC may have gone too far. It shows a bimodal distribution with maximums centered on 4 and A JTWC’s “Best Track” archive is used by scientists around the world, as it is a consistent and publicly available data set for all Pacific and Indian Ocean TCs. 1997 One-minute mean wind speeds JTWC reports a cross-track spread of 213 miles three days out and 368 miles five days out. 1957 NONAME (TS) / region. first documentation describing a complete season for a specific basin (i.e., W) was published in 1950. Table 1. EP is a JTWC Archive / ATCF TC basin / region designator. Just about every major typhoon got an upgrade, although I’m most surprised about Wutip getting massively buffed to 145 kt and 895 mbar. E - The eastern North Pacific basin / region, a DOD TC basin / region designator. For example, Hagibis 2nd peak intensity of 150kt was set at 04Z, and both 00Z and 06Z were 145kt. No page numbers. surface wind, minimum sea surface pressure, maximum 700-mb wind and minimum 700-mb height for standard synoptic hours Steps 1 through 3 formed a loop which was iterated upon many times.
