Tropical Cyclone Abele intensity edit

IMO the intensity in the infobox for Abele is given wrongly, probably due to messing up 10 min speeds and 3 sec gusts. I only could not figure out wether we should take the last MF Reunion advisory which already gives coordinates within the Australia AOR or should we stick on the first BoM advisory from Perth. According to the archived advisories Abeles intensity was:

Time 0000 UTC 03/12/2010 0735 UTC 03/12/2010 1240 UTC 03/12/2010 1847 UTC 03/12/2010 0122 UTC 04/12/2010
TCWC Reunion Perth Perth Perth Perth
10 min winds (kn) 50 45 40 40 30
3 sec gusts (kn) 65 55 50 45
pressure (hPa) 987 990 992 997 1000

I am inclined to take the last RSMC Reunion intensity since the storm was already east of 90° E, what is in the Australian region, so 50 kn and 98 hPa. --Matthiasb (talk) 18:56, 6 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Actually since it peaked at 89.5E (which is Aus region if we rounded to 0 D.P.) the peak windspeeds are not wrong. Alos i note in BOMs write up of the system they have called it an STC so we should at least follow them in calling it a [severe tropical cyclone].Jason Rees (talk) 19:52, 6 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
Well, there is no rounding needed. 89.5 E is definitely west of 90 E, some 50 kilometres at that latitude, I guess. Note also what is written on the page you've linked: Abele moved into the Perth Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre’s area of responsibility on 3 December. By this time it was a category 2 cyclone having already begun rapid weakening due to cold sea surface temperatures and increasing vertical wind shear. That means it was not a severe tropical cyclone at the time it moved into the Perth TCWC's aor. However, this year the NHC already did some funny things, so why not also the guys and lads at the BoM downunder. :-) --Matthiasb (talk) 19:14, 8 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
Matthiasb is correct, Abele was not a STC when it entered the region. I'm changing the intensity to 50kts 987mb (per Reuinion just before crossing) Cyclonebiskit (talk) 19:34, 8 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

CityUHK/ GCACIC predictions für the Australian region edit

Does anyone know where the figures are taken from? The official website seems to haven't been updated sind last July so it can be doubted if those figures in the article are correct. Any information? --Matthiasb (talk) 18:44, 7 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

How do you plan on citing that? --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:14, 19 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
To their TC DB unless your suddenly not allowed to cite databases.Jason Rees (talk) 16:18, 19 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
Actually it's a start to identify the systems in the TWOs and the gale warnings which might not be archived all. However, we can use as well their Monthly Weather Review once it will be published for December. --Matthiasb (talk) 16:38, 19 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
To Jason Rees, if the only way we know about those cyclone numbers is through the email, than we can't put it in. That's all I'm saying. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:42, 19 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
Well we could try to get that information verified by getting it emailed to the OTRS. --Matthiasb (talk) 17:00, 19 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Yeah I had a feeling an email wouldn't be enough. Just have to wait to have it verified some other way. Another note: A Tropical Low near the NT/WA border has a Severe Weather Warning, it's likely this is already 11U, but again, must wait until a tech summary is issued. Cyclonica (talk) 16:33, 21 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

No, 11U was classified the low near Cairns, now TC Anthony. --Matthiasb (talk) 00:10, 23 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
Well at least they're being consistant by being highly unpredictable with these designations. Hopefully the December reports verify 07U & 08U when they're released. Cyclonica (talk) 01:57, 23 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
Actually their not holy unpredictable. A BoM forecaster has told me previously that the U numbers are assigned when they order additional guidance on them and really home in on the position of the low.Jason Rees (talk) 02:34, 24 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
Now they're issuing advices referring to the Kimberley low as 12U. --Matthiasb (talk) 09:44, 24 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Anthony Confusion edit

There has been a lot of trouble with Tropical Cyclone Anthony. A break is required in the 'Timeline of recent events' image. Why? Because the system weakened into a low and we dont even know if it further weakened as the BoM stopped issuing advisories. In all other basins it happens like that. When a system weakens into a low, the RSMCs strom issuing advisories, if the continue their advisories after a couple of days, then we put a break in the template, (because the rsmc was not issuing any advisories). Some users today are ignoring the break as they think the system remained a low all the time. What should be done,

  • Should we keep a break in the template?
  • Should we simply put a full bar??

--Anirudh Emani (talk) 09:38, 29 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

They were issuing some type of advisorie as they mentioned "Ex-TC Anthony" on their website the whole time — Iune(talk) 10:42, 29 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Too much Vandalism edit

There has been persistent vandalism. Bianca section has been completely destroyed. Immediate action must be taken. --Anirudh Emani (talk) 05:03, 30 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

What??? - Biancas section looks ok to me.Jason Rees (talk) 05:24, 30 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
Er yeah, I'm not following either. The only issue I see with Bianca's section are lines which treat the storm as a "currently active" threat (i.e. "it is expected" and such lines). They're easily fixed when the system completely dissipates. Where exactly is this so called vandalism? Cyclonica (talk) 08:56, 30 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
Bianca was a cat 4 on SSHS --Anirudh Emani (talk) 10:44, 31 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
Yeah it was operationally but the JTWC have reassessed the winds to be off a high cat 2 strength.Jason Rees (talk) 13:40, 31 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Little flaw in Bianca section edit

The articles says:

Early on 21 January the Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre (TCWC) in Darwin reported that a tropical low formed in the Gulf of Carpentaria and gave it the identifier '12U'.

However in the given source ref we read:

The monsoon trough is currently located from northern Kimberley to the southern Gulf of Carpentaria and is expected to move north over the weekend. A weak tropical low, 1002 hPa is located over land near Kununurra. The low is expected to move slowly north and may intensify further.

It is not clear from that source (we will wait at least for the monthly weather review to find out) wether the low was associated with the monsoon trough but definitely it is not said that the low formed in the GoC, it is only said that early on 21 Jan it was located over land near Kununurra. I will change this tomorrow or the day after tomorrow if nobody will object or come up with a better source. --Matthiasb (talk) 23:54, 30 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

You can rewrite it now if you want, but use the Preliminary TCR which states it formed over land near the Top End border.Jason Rees (talk) 00:04, 31 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

TWOS edit

Can we knab the last couple of days worth of TWOs from Perth and stick them on the SWIO page. I ask as i would be prepared to bet that 13U (The missing system) is the system mentioned within the TWO's.Jason Rees (talk) 13:43, 31 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

I'll hold them here until we decide whether they're needed: 2011-01-31 0600z 2011-02-01 0600z--Keith Edkins ( Talk ) 14:38, 1 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
ya, that was the only thing I remember seeing in the TWO for what may have been 13U. - グリフオーザー (talk) 15:32, 1 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Yasi and the floods edit

Well this isn't a typical season with all the floods in SA, VIC and S NSW, it is looking like Anthony and Yasi assisted (with tropical moisture feeding into a trough). This is going to be rather complex to work out or how to work out what system caused the most influence but it is likely Anthony added moisture and Yasi maintained it, one it had moved down to S NT. This is only going by IR, VIS and WV images, so we may have to wait for a report(s) to be published by the BoM. Also over the weekend there was another flood related death for the year and the first for this event (in S Aus). Bidgee (talk) 02:26, 7 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

The death was in Lockhart, New South Wales. Brudder Andrusha (talk)

Cleanup of 15U edit

Info about 15U has been deleted from these talk pages but this system has been inactive for a few days. Can someone cleanup the info on the main page as to when it finally becme inactive? Thx. Brudder Andrusha (talk)

It hasnt been inactivce for a couple of days. It was only dropped from Perths TWOs overnight (14-15 Feb). Also when advisories are removed from above they are archived within the monthly archives so we have it.Jason Rees (talk) 17:41, 15 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
According to the archives Perth's last Technical Bulliten was 2011-02-12 0600z which indicated that that would be the last unless intensification. Does the Perths TWOs contain info that would suggest that it really did die Feb. 14 and not Feb 12 as per the Technical Bulliten? It just seemed that this system was inept. Brudder Andrusha (talk) 20:48, 15 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
Yep - Perth issued the final Tech bull on Feb 12, but they kept issuing shipping warnings during the 13th on the TL and mentioned it on the 13th's TWO. Im ade a slight mistake in saying the 14th as it actually dissipated on the 13th wasnt mentioned on the 14ths two. Look above for the TWO's and the archives for the shipping (gale) warnings.Jason Rees (talk) 03:49, 16 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Article naming standardization edit

Timeline edit

Name Tropical Low 22U and 23U on the timeline and the season effects. And the season effects. And update everything. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.35.232.141 (talkcontribs) --Matthiasb (talk) 07:47, 2 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Still some confusion or What about the misssing Us edit

Just to inform more prominent than in the edit comment: I changed the 24U part in the point where it was said that it got extratropical north-west of NZL. From the track map it seems to be messed up with the north-east. Still that might need verification. Since that mixing up east and west did happen some weeks ago with another cyclone what I also caught up but don't remember I am wondering if an editor with maternal language French is the source of those mistakes, possibly messing up est and ouest vs. east and west.

Also, considering the more recent TWOs issued by Perth, Darwin, and Brisbane and the use of the U-identifier by Perth in its TWOs it seems very certain to me that the missing Us have appeared rather in the Brisbane AOR. Considering what they've done with 24U, I think it is well possible that the missing Us refer to some systems in the Nadi AOR of which Brisbane operationally thought at the time they might have an impact on the Australian region. --Matthiasb (talk) 07:54, 2 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

I've said it before, I personally don't think we should be putting the U's in unless they're verified without a doubt, AKA there is an online source that backs it up. Not to mention, I'm thinking we should ask BoM whether a tropical low is indeed a tropical cyclone. If they don't consider it one, then we don't need to include it in our articles. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:47, 2 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

I'm also confused about the point that TCWC Brisbane numbered a low east of 180 as 24U. It seems that it is more likely to be referred as a low formed in Darwin AOR at around 19/3-21/3. Also, according to the previous cases, I think that the TCWCs are not likely to number any systems that are not mentioned in TWOs. Raymond765 (talk) 03:55, 3 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hink, I would guess the BoM does so, otherwise their seasonal prediction would be much too way off from reality as so far we have 10 named storms what is still less than the number of 12 cyclones which according to BoM form in average and much less compared to the number of 20 to 22 cyclones they've predicted for this season. I don't think it is probably that yet 10 to 12 named storms will form in the several weeks the season will still last on. --Matthiasb (talk) 14:20, 3 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Errol edit

Errol hasn't really been updated recently. The last advisory was issued by BoM, and the UNISYS track map is here, but ours hasn't been updated yet. Not to be impatient, but could anyone update it to match the one I mentioned? Rye998 (talk) 15:28, 18 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

How about having some patience? Its not even been a day since the last full blown advisory was released by TCWC Jakarta.Jason Rees (talk) 19:05, 18 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
The http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/ has been down for several days—it is now back up but doesn't yet have the full best fit track for Errol. I will update the map when I can get the data.--Keith Edkins ( Talk ) 17:43, 26 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Anggrek edit

The BoM's Excel Spreadsheet BT has recently downgraded Anggrek to a tropical low because gales never extended more than halfway around the system centre.Jason Rees (talk) 22:58, 1 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

However, http://www.bom.gov.au/announcements/sevwx/wa/watc20101031.shtml still lists it as cat 2 cyclone. So what is correctly? --Matthiasb (talk) 21:02, 18 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
