GLOBAL TROPICAL CYCLONE TRACKS - MARCH 2010
!!!! IMPORTANT -- PLEASE SEE NOTE AT END OF FILE !!!!
********** SPECIAL NOTE **********
I now have some assistants who are helping to prepare the monthly
tropical cyclone files, and I'd like to thank them for their willing-
ness to assist me. Kevin Boyle, of Stoke-on-Trent, UK, will be
preparing the tracks for Northwest Pacific basin tropical cyclones
during the most active part of the NWP season from July through
December. Kevin has already typed up some of the tracks from the
latter part of 2009.
Michael Bath, of McLeans Ridges, New South Wales, Australia, is now
preparing the track files for Australian Region and South Pacific
cyclones during the active months of the Southern Hemisphere season.
Also, Steve Young has now for a year or more been sending me tracks
with data for the pre-warning and post-warning stages of tropical
cyclones in all basins, prepared primarily from NCEP re-analysis data.
A very special thanks is due to Kevin, Michael and Steve for their
assistance.

!!!!! ADDENDUM TO FEBRUARY TRACKS FILE !!!!!
ATLANTIC (ATL) - North Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico
Systems Tracked
---------------
Non-tropical LOW 30 Jan - 04 Feb
In the February tracks file I mentioned a low-pressure system in the
eastern Atlantic in early February which displayed some rather well-
organized convection at one point. I did not have a track for this
system, but after the February edition had been dispatched, I received
a track for the LOW from Steve Young, which he had generated based upon
NCEP re-analysis data. I have included this track below by way of
documenting the system.
According to Jack Beven of NHC, there are no formal plans to add
this system as an unnamed subtropical storm. Jack indicated that there
appeared to be a frontal structure connected with the system when it
looked at its convective best on 1 February.

SOUTH ATLANTIC (SAT) - Atlantic Ocean South of the Equator
Systems Tracked
---------------
Tropical Storm ANITA (NRL Invest 90Q) 08 - 12 Mar
The regional weather centers and the private weather enterprises of
both Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina, the southernmost Brazilian
states, in a joint decision, named the rare tropical storm of March 9th
and 10th in the coastal areas of the region. The name Anita was chosen
considering a historic figure of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina,
both states affected by the tropical cyclone. Anita Garibaldi
(1821-1849) was a heroine of the Farroupilha Revolution (1835-1845),
one of the most important events in Brazilian history that took place
in the southern part of the country. The name was not assigned by the
Brazilian Meteorological Office, which did not issue any bulletins on
the cyclone. The system was not named until 12 March, when it was
rapidly losing tropical characteristics. Anita was named primarily
in order to avoid confusion in future references to the system.
(The above information was sent to the author by Alexandre Aguiar,
of MetSul Meteorologia, Porto Alegre, Brazil. A special thanks to
Alexandre for sharing the information.)

The intensities prior to 10/0000 UTC and after 11/1800 UTC were also
taken from the NRL data. The MSW values from 10/0000 to 11/1800 UTC,
inclusive, were provided by Dr. Karl Hoarau. The cyclone classifications
are based upon SAB satellite analyses and agree with Dr. Hoarau's
assessments for the tropical portion of Anita's history.

NORTHWEST PACIFIC (NWP) - North Pacific Ocean West of Longitude 180
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.

!!!!!! 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:
http://www.usno.navy.mil/JTWC>
SPECIAL NOTE: Back issues of the global tropical cyclone summaries
and monthly cyclone track files can be obtained at the following
websites:
