Note #1: The MSW reported in the 21/0000 UTC intermediate advisory was
135 kts, but an update was issued at 21/0035 UTC raising the MSW to
140 kts.

Note #2: The MSW was not upped to 145 kts until the 21/0900 UTC advisory,
just after Dean had made landfall, but based on reconnaissance data,
it is very likely the winds had reached 145 kts by 0600 UTC.  It is not
out of the question that in post-analysis the MSW at landfall may be
raised to 150 kts.  The minimum CP measured by dropsonde for Dean just
prior to landfall was 906 mb.

Note #3: Dean made its final landfall in Mexico around 1630 UTC with the
MSW estimated at 85 kts--Category 2 on the Saffir/Simpson scale.

Note: Tropical Depression Erin very surprisingly re-intensifed well
inland over Oklahoma during the early morning hours of 19 August.
There were numerous reports of winds exceeding gale force with gusts
approaching, if not exceeding, hurricane force.  However, this was
Erin's last gasp--the system began to quickly weaken and by the
evening of the 19th the surface center had dissipated.

                          Sources of Information
                          ----------------------

     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: The JTWC position at 09/0600 UTC puts the center of Wutip right
over central Taiwan.  However, the concurrent JMA position places the
center in the Pacific well off the east coast of the island.  The system
at this point in time was very ill-defined.

Note: The JMA High Seas Bulletin at 09/0600 UTC referenced a weak
tropical depression (1002 hPa) near 22N/126E, moving west slowly.  
Presumably this is the same circulation tracked above, but the bulletins
at 09/1200 and 09/1800 UTC did not reference a tropical depression, nor
even a low-pressure area, in this vicinity.  JTWC issued a TCFA for this
system at 10/2130 UTC, but it was cancelled 11/1130 UTC and no warnings 
were ever issued.

Note: I am not sure if this jump in position represents a relocation or
if a new distinct LLCC was being tracked.  The JMA does not use any
numbers or any other type of identification for tropical depressions.

Note: The initial JTWC warning at 28/1800 UTC located the center of
TD-10W near 18.7N/155.6E, which is reasonably close to JMA's position
for that time.  Imagery from a 28/1836 UTC TRMM pass necessitated
a relocation of the center to the coordinates listed in the track
above.

NORTH INDIAN OCEAN (NIO) - Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea

                        Sources of Information
                        ----------------------

     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.   Occasionally some information may
  have been gleaned from the daily tropical weather outlooks and other
  bulletins issued by the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), which
  is the World Meteorological Organization's Regional Specialised Meteor-
  ological Centre for the basin.
 
     The reported maximum sustained winds are based on a 1-minute
  averaging period, which is used by all U. S. civilian and military
  weather services for tropical cyclone warnings.     For synoptic
  observations in the North Indian Ocean region, both 10-minute and
  3-minute average winds are employed, but IMD makes no attempt to
  modify the Dvorak scale for estimating tropical cyclone intensity;
  hence, a 1-minute average MSW is implied.

Note: All the coordinates in the track were taken from JTWC's satellite
fix bulletins.  The longitude at 06/0000 UTC is questionable since
it represents an eastward relocation while the system was moving
westward and nearing the Indian coast.  IMD upgraded the system from
depression to deep depression status at 05/1800 UTC.  No TC warnings
were issued on this system by JTWC.

              !!!!!!  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:
