WTXS21 PGTW 20101029 22:00z MSGID/GENADMIN/NAVMARFCSTCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/JTWC// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT// RMKS/ 1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN 135 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 7.5S 97.4E TO 10.5S 94.9E WITHIN THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS. AVAILABLE DATA DOES NOT JUSTIFY ISSUANCE OF NUMBERED TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNINGS AT THIS TIME. WINDS IN THE AREA ARE ESTIMATED TO BE 25 TO 30 KNOTS. METSAT IMAGERY AT 292130Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 7.9S 96.7E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 06 KNOTS. 2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 7.7S 97.1E IS NOW LOCATED AT 7.9S 96.7E APPROXIMATELY 250 NM NORTH OF THE COCOS ISLANDS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A 291917Z AMSR-E IMAGE DEPICT IMPROVED CONSOLIDATION AND MULTIPLE BANDING WRAPPING INTO A STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). A PARTIAL 291539Z ASCAT IMAGE SHOWED 25 TO 30 KNOT WINDS OVER THE WESTERN SEMI-CIRCLE. THE LLCC IS LOCATED NORTH OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AXIS UNDER EASTERLY DIFFLUENT FLOW. THE LLCC IS ALSO LOCATED UNDER LIGHT TO MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND OUTFLOW IS GOOD. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE SOUTHWARD INTO A MORE FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT OVER THE NEXT ONE TO TWO DAYS, WHICH SHOULD ALLOW FURTHER DEVELOPMENT. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1002 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS GOOD. 3. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED BY 302200Z.// ========================================================================= WTXS31 PGTW 20101030 21:00z MSGID/GENADMIN/NAVMARFCSTCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/JTWC// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE 02S (TWO) WARNING NR 001// REF/A/MSG/NAVMARFCSTCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/292151ZOCT2010// AMPN/REF A IS A TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT.// RMKS/ 1.

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 02S (TWO), CURRENTLY LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 260 NM NORTH-NORTHWEST OF THE COCOS ISLANDS, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT 03 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A 301519Z 89GHZ AMSU IMAGE INDICATE CONSOLIDATION AND INTENSIFICATION OF DEEP CONVECTION OVER A STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). RECENT ASCAT IMAGERY SHOWS WINDS EXCEEDING 30 KNOTS ENCOMPASSING THE ENTIRE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE LLCC. THE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATE IS BASED ON ASCAT IMAGERY AND THE DVORAK ESTIMATE OF 35 KNOTS FROM PGTW. THE LLCC IS LOCATED JUST EQUATORWARD OF THE UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE AXIS UNDER 20-30 KTS OF EASTERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS), WHICH IS DISPLACING THE DEEP CONVECTION WESTWARD. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATES IMPROVING OUTFLOW WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE EAST QUADRANT, HOWEVER, TC 02S IS FORECAST TO MOVE INTO A MORE FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH LOWER VWS WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS. DYNAMIC AIDS ARE IN GOOD GENERAL AGREEMENT AND SHOW A SOUTHEASTWARD TRACK ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE LOW- TO MID-LEVEL NEAR-EQUATORIAL RIDGE THROUGH TAU 72 FOLLOWED BY A BROAD TURN TO THE SOUTHWEST, WHICH WILL KEEP THE CYCLONE MOVING OVER FAVORABLE SSTS THROUGH APPROXIMATELY TAU 60. FAVORABLE SST COUPLED WITH A DECREASE IN VWS AND IMPROVING OUTFLOW SHOULD ALLOW THE SYSTEM TO INTENSIFY TO A PEAK INTENSITY OF 75 KNOTS NEAR TAU 48. AFTER TAU 48, TC 02S SHOULD GRADUALLY WEAKEN AS IT TRACKS OVER COOLER SST. THE FORECAST TRACK IS CONSISTENT WITH THE MODEL CONSENSUS THROUGH TAU 48. IN THE EXTENDED TAUS, THE TRACK IS POSITIONED SLIGHTLY NORTH OF CONSENSUS DUE TO PROBLEMS WITH THE GFDN TRACKER. GFDN ERRONEOUSLY TRACKS THE SYSTEM EASTWARD INTO THE RIDGE THROUGH TAU 72 THEN SHARPLY TURNS THE SYSTEM SOUTHWARD.

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 02S (ANGGREK), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 210 NM NORTH OF THE COCOS ISLANDS, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 03 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. CURRENTLY THE SYSTEM IS TRACKING POLEWARD ALONG THE WESTERN EXTENT OF A MID-LEVEL STEERING RIDGE. THERE IS BETTER CONFIDENCE IN THE CURRENT POSITION NOW THAT THERE IS DAYLIGHT AND THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER HAS BECOME PARTIALLY EXPOSED TO THE EAST OF MODERATELY SHEARED CONVECTION. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS AN AVERAGE OF THE PGTW AND APRF FINAL-T NUMBERS, WHICH RANGE FROM 2.5 TO 3.0 OR 35 TO 45 KNOTS. VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) WILL RELAX OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS AS THE SYSTEM APPROACHES THE UPPER LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AXIS FROM THE NORTH. POLEWARD OUTFLOW SHOULD ALSO IMPROVE WITH THE PASSAGE OF A LONGWAVE TROUGH TO THE SOUTH. THESE FACTORS WILL SUPPORT STEADY INTENSIFICATION THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE FORECAST. AROUND TAU 72 SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL DROP DRAMATICALLY AND THE AIRMASS WILL BECOME SIGNIFICANTLY MORE STABLE AND LESS CONDUCIVE FOR TROPICAL CYCLONES. VWS WILL AGAIN ELEVATE SHORTLY THEREAFTER AS ANOTHER LONGWAVE TROUGH APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. THE FORECAST CLOSELY FOLLOWS THE MODEL CONSENSUS. THOUGH GFDN CONTINUES TO BIAS THE CONSENSUS EAST BEYOND TAU 24, THE FORECAST LIES ON THE GFDN SIDE OF THE CONSENSUS. MODEL FIELDS INDICATE THE PASSAGE OF ANOTHER DEEP LAYER TROUGH TO THE SOUTH. THIS TROUGH WILL ERODE THE STEERING RIDGE AND PROMOTE A MORE SOUTH OF WEST TRACK, EAST OF THE CONSENSUS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 310600Z IS 11 FEET.

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 02S (ANGGREK), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 140 NM NORTH OF THE COCOS ISLANDS, HAS TRACKED SOUTHEASTWARD AT 07 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THAT DEEP CONVECTION HAS REINTENSIFIED AND EXPANDED OVER THE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. A 311458Z 89GHZ METOP-A IMAGE INDICATES THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE DEEP CONVECTION IS DISPLACED OVER THE WESTERN SEMI-CIRCLE DUE TO MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. WATER VAPOR ANIMATION SHOWS DECREASING EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW WITH FAIR POLEWARD OUTFLOW. THE CURRENT INTENSITY OF 40 KNOTS IS AVERAGED FROM DVORAK ESTIMATES OF 35 KNOTS FROM PGTW AND 45 KNOTS FROM APRF. THE SYSTEM IS TRACKING SOUTHEASTWARD ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE LOW- TO MID-LEVEL NEAR-EQUATORIAL RIDGE BUT IS EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY TURN SOUTHWESTWARD AFTER TAU 36 IN RESPONSE TO A BUILDING SUBTROPICAL RIDGE SOUTH OF THE SYSTEM. GFDN REMAINS THE SOLE OUTLIER AND CONTINUES TO ERRONEOUSLY TRACK THE SYSTEM SOUTHEASTWARD WHILE WBAR AND GFS TRACK TC 02S MORE SOUTHWARD, EAST OF THE CONSENSUS. ECMWF, NOGAPS AND JGSM DEVELOP THE ANTICYCLONE MORE VIGOROUSLY AND DRIVE THE SYSTEM SOUTHWESTWARD, WEST OF CONSENSUS. THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK IS CLOSE TO THE CONSENSUS THROUGH TAU 36 AND IS POSITIONED WEST OF THE CONSENSUS DUE TO THE PROBLEMS WITH GFDN AND HEDGED TOWARD THE BEST PERFORMING MODELS. THE PEAK INTENSITY OF 65 KNOTS IS FORECAST AT TAU 48 DUE TO IMPROVED POLEWARD OUTFLOW AND FAVORABLE SST. TC 02S IS THEN FORECAST TO WEAKEN OVER COOLER SST.

THE CYCLONE HAS INTENSIFIED 10 KNOTS SINCE THE PREVIOUS FORECAST AS VERTICAL WIND SHEAR EASES. DVORAK ESTIMATES RANGE FROM 45 TO 55 KNOTS FROM APRF AND PGTW. THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY IN THE INITIAL POSITION DUE TO A DENSE CIRRUS CANOPY OBSCURING THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. A MID-TO-UPPER LEVEL TROUGH, RESPONSIBLE FOR WEAKENING THE STEERING RIDGE TO THE EAST, WILL BEGIN TO PUSH DOWNSTREAM OF THE SYSTEM WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS. THE STEERING RIDGE WILL GRADUALLY BUILD BACK TO THE SOUTH OF THE SYSTEM, PROMOTING A MORE WESTWARD (VICE POLEWARD) TRACK FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE FORECAST. THE CYCLONE WILL ALSO INTENSIFY AS VERTICAL WIND SHEAR CONTINUES TO RELAX. A PEAK INTENSITY OF 70 KNOTS IS EXPECTED PRIOR TO PASSAGE OVER COOLER WATERS BEGINNING NEAR 15.0S OR TAU 72. SHORTLY AFTER TAU 72, A MID-LATITUDE LONGWAVE TROUGH IS FORECAST TO DEEPEN AND DIG FAR INTO THE TROPICS JUST UPSTREAM OF THE SYSTEM. BY DAY 4 OF THE FORECAST THE RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN AGAIN AND THE SYSTEM WILL START TO TURN POLEWARD. VERTICAL WIND SHEAR WILL ELEVATE CONSIDERABLY AROUND TAU 96 AS THE WESTERLIES MARCH EQUATORWARD AHEAD OF OF THIS TROUGH. EXCESSIVE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, COOL SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES, AND A SUB-TROPICAL AIRMASS WILL HELP TO DISSIPATE THE SYSTEM BY TAU 120. THERE IS SIGNIFICANT SPREAD IN THE MODELS AFTER THE FIRST 48 HOURS.

ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY DEPICTS INCREASING NORTHERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS. IMAGERY AND RECENT UPPER-LEVEL WIND DATA INDICATE 20-30 KNOT NORTHERLY FLOW ASSOCIATED WITH AN ANTICYLONE NEAR 12S 103E. DESPITE THE INCREASED VWS AND EXPOSED LLCC, A 031533Z ASCAT IMAGE SUPPORTS A WELL-DEFINED, SYMMETRIC WIND FIELD WITH NUMEROUS 30-35 KNOT WINDS. THE CURRENT INTENSITY WAS ASSESSED AT 40 KNOTS BASED ON THE ASCAT LOW BIAS AS WELL AS DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES RANGING FROM 35 TO 45 KNOTS. TC 02S IS TRACKING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF A FINGER OF THE LOW- MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. THE MODEL TRACKERS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH TAU 48 WITH THE EXCEPTION OF WBAR, WHICH TRACKS THE SYSTEM SOUTHWARD THROUGH SOUTHEASTWARD. THE CURRENT FORECAST IS POSITIONED CLOSE TO THE MODEL CONSENSUS. TC 02S IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN THROUGH THE PERIOD DUE TO COOLER SST AND INCREASING VWS AFTER TAU 24 ASSOCIATED WITH AN APPROACHING, DEEPENING SHORTWAVE TROUGH, AND SHOULD DISSIPATE AS A SIGNIFICANT TC IN THE NEXT 24-36 HOURS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 031800Z IS 15 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 040900Z AND 042100Z.// ========================================================================= WTXS31 PGTW 20101104 09:00z MSGID/GENADMIN/NAVMARFCSTCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/JTWC// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE 02S (ANGGREK) WARNING NR 010// RMKS/ 1.

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 02S (ANGGREK), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 235 NM SOUTHWEST OF THE COCOS ISLANDS, HAS TRACKED WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 09 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 30 KNOTS NO LONGER MEETS THE WARNING CRITERIA FOR SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE SYSTEMS. THE INTENSITY IS ASSESSED AT 30 KNOTS BASED ON FALLING T- NUMBERS FROM PGTW. CURRENTLY PGTW IS REPORTING A 2.0/2.5, WHICH INDICATES THE SYSTEM HAS WEAKENED TO 30 - 35 KNOTS. MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) HAS LEFT THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER PARTIALLY EXPOSED. THE SYSTEM WILL TRACK GENERALLY SOUTHWESTWARD WITH THE LOW LEVEL FLOW TOWARDS HIGHER VWS AND SIGNIFICANTLY COOLER WATER. THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON WARNING CENTER (NAVMARFCSTCEN). THE SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF REGENERATION. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 040600Z IS 11 FEET.//
