Talk:1993 Pacific hurricane season

Revamping the article

I'm in the slow process of rewriting and improving this article and the storm by storm sections, as you can see. Does it look better now and are the storm information better in terms of structure, content, and detail? Also, is the overall format better now? It may be a little messy, but I'm in the gradual process of improving this article and revamping the writing, organization, details, and storm information. Any todo or thoughts? Also, can anyone offer to help on organizing the storm by storm sections I'm revamping and add the finish touches? Hurricanehink? Anyone? Thanks. I want to get this article cleaned up and really well organized and detailed. CapeVerdeWave 26 August 2006, 15:51 (UTC)

Very nice job so far, and keep up the good work. The structure is good. All you have to do is get the storm summaries and storm pics for the rest of the storms. Some {{clear}}s would be nice, as well as some Wikification changes. Hurricanehink (talk) 20:13, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I just added some clears for spacing between the each of the individual storm accounts. Can you help out a bit along with me as I complete the rest of the storm accounts, add more details, edit, fix spelling errors, add the finishing touches, and Wikify the aricle and add the rest of storm reports (preliminary reports from NOAA) and other sources? I'm really trying to get this article up to standards, especially B class or above, as I am doing on many other articles (seasons, storms, etc.) and attempting to fix many up from all basins as part of the Tropical Cyclones Wikiproject.

I wish I could help, but RL is really busy, not to mention I have a couple of other projects I'm working on here. I can guide you to some very useful info. The NHC EPAC archive, which you may or not have been using, has news stories, local information, and discussions to help lengthen the lower important storms.

Yep, I've already been using the archives for the information, detailing, reorganizing, revamping, and updating/fixing/editing of the storm accounts and this article. Any other sources? I know of several others, but any links to them to get the information from? Thanks. CapeVerdeWave 27 August 2006, 15:08 (UTC)

Not really, that's the only thing I can think of. The biggest problem will be taking the time to add the storm summaries, not necessarily the info. Hurricanehink (talk) 19:54, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Major hurricanes

This season had nine of them. That could be a record. I'm going to try and look that up. -- §HurricaneERICarchive 18:15, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind, 1992 had ten. -- §HurricaneERICarchive 18:24, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

• "This activity was the result of an El Niño event, which is the main factor contributing to above-average activity across the Pacific basin.[1] " does anyone actually consider 1993 an El Nino today? I know one tried during the spring but CPC's ONI index never got to official Nino territory at least? YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 04:40, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

• "Tropical Storm Barbara produced heavy rainfall and downed trees across Southern Mexico, causing 6 fatalities." wrong storm :P YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 04:40, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

• Please add stuff from the MWR, even if you're not going to do a seasonal summary section. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 04:40, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

• Should note, seasonal summary if not lead, how the season compares to average. I know that information gets kinda repetitive after a while but season articles were meant to be more than a list of storms. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 04:40, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
• Should add ACE, at least on a seasonal basis, especially given the high ACE of 1993. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 04:40, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

• Totally optional but I'd like to see a pic of Kenneth and Lidia at the same time since they were instantaneous DT of T7.0's six hours apart. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 04:40, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

• Beatriz needs to be redirected. Would say merged but uhh there's nothing to merge in. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 04:40, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

• Can you mention directional changes or try to mention why the storm's moved the way they did more often in general? You don't need to be multiple paragraphs but this is kinda a boring read for a season with so many strong storms, and the sections are shorter than that of many passed seasonal GA's for how long some of the storms were (Kenneth's section despite being a near Category 5 is one line longer than Max's and Greg's is only a few lines longer than Max's despite its very long duration). In terms of mentioning intensity changes, you do a much better job covering why they occurred but there are still some omissions. Examples of what could be added (to make this easier for you and I tried to make sure this information was available because I don't want to torture you) include:

• • Mentioning Dora sustained its peak for 24 hours? YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 04:40, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

• • Note how/why Eugene's track shifted from westward to suddenly northward to westward. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 04:40, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

• • Note how Keoni weakened before crossing the international dateline. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 04:40, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

• • Mention Greg's secondary peak. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 04:40, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

• • Mention how Greg's track shifted westnorthwest and then to the west. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 04:40, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

• • Mention Greg's overall resistance to weakening. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 04:40, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

• • Mention that Jova re-strengthened after its first peak and how/why it did. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 04:40, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

• • Mention how Kenneth's track kept shifting from westward to northwestward. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 04:40, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

• • Mention when Kenneth's eye formed and dissipated. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 04:40, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

• "As Tropical Storm Nora developed to its east, the small system began to be absorbed by the larger circulation," Norma not Nora :P YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 04:40, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

• Be consistent with mentioning states when mentioning Mexican cities. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 04:40, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

The article is very well written just a little lacking content wise, but I made it so that it's relatively easy to fix. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 04:40, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

Yellow Evan, I have addressed these comments. 1993 isnt officially recognized as an El Nino today since there were only four consecutive ONIs, not five. It was then though, as indicated by the source. There's no reliable reference for EPAC ACE. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 20:36, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
