SEIO (W. AUS): Tropical Cyclone Anggrek

[Chacor]

This is in TCWC Jakarta's area of responsibility, just a tad north of the border with TCWC Perth's area. Should be moving into Perth's area around Monday and Perth are issuing outlooks:

IDW10800
Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology
Western Australia

Tropical Cyclone three-day outlook for the Western Region
Issued at 2:00pm WST on Friday the 29th of October 2010
Valid until midnight WST Monday


Existing Cyclones in the Western region:
Nil.

Potential Cyclones:
A low has developed near 7.5S 99E. The low is expected to move towards the
southwest and be located south of latitude 10S on Monday. The low is likely to
develop, possibly reaching tropical cyclone intensity on Sunday or Monday. While
there is a high probability [over 50%] that the low will become a cyclone on
Sunday, the likelihood that it will remain north of latitude 10S reduces the
chance that it will be a cyclone in the Western Region on that day.

This system may pass close to Cocos Island early next week.

Likelihood of this system being a tropical cyclone in the Western Region:
Saturday :Low
Sunday :Moderate
Monday :High

No other significant lows are expected to develop over the next three days.


NOTES: Development Potential is an estimate of the chance of each system being a
tropical cyclone in the Region for each day.
Very Low: less than 5% Low: 5% - 20%,
Moderate: 20% - 50% High: Over 50%

The Western Region refers to the Indian Ocean between Longitudes 90-125E and
south of Latitude 10S.

Unfortunately I can't find any outlooks on this system from Jakarta.

CONSOLIDATION AND MULTIPLE BANDING WRAPPING INTO A STRENGTHENING LOW
LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). A 290304Z ASCAT IMAGE SHOWED A WELL
DEFINED LLCC WITH 20 TO 25 KNOT WINDS OVER THE SOUTHERN SEMI-CIRCLE
AND 10 TO 15 KNOT WINDS OVER THE NORTHERN 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 20 TO 25 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS
ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1004 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS FAIR

REMARKS:
The system has significantly improved organisation over the last 24 hours,
despite continuing moderate shear. High SSTs are likely assisting the low to
overcome the shear, and low to mid level curvature of the cloud lines has
improved markedly in microwave imagery together with a consolidation of the
central overcast. At 00Z I have a position near 7.5S 96.0E. The SSMI/S image at
2231Z was particularly useful but this position also appears to place the LLCC
in a position relative to the CDO that is generally consistent with amount of
shear indicated in CIMSS satellite wind analyses, and with the 0030 MTSAT VIS
image that has become available since I analysed that position.

Using a shear pattern gives a DT of around T3.0 but the MET is at 2.5 based on a
D+ 24 hour trend and yesterdays assignment of T1.0 at 00Z. The rules will limit
the FT to 2.5 and this is the assigned CI. The 1530Z ASCAT pass indicated 30
knot winds in the SW quadrant [the only sector it sampled but also the sector
with the greatest convection], and the intensity is analysed as being 30 knots
at 00Z consistent with the Dvorak analysis. Given the rate of development over
the last 24 hours the system is likely to reach cyclone intensity later today.


Shear conditions are forecast to become more favourable while the system remains
over warm waters [>28C north of 10S]. The mid latitude system passing to the
south erodes the mid level ridge and results in a recurvature to the southeast
during Sunday. This also brings the system under the ridge into light shear and
by Sunday evening the system should be experiencing quite favourable conditions.
The development of the system in the South China Sea should not be detrimental
to this system so based on the expected conditions, and consistent with the
trend in STIPS intensity guidance it is forecast to reach hurricane force on
Monday.

This already looks like a tropical storm to me, very early start of the SWI Ocean and now the Australian regions as well.

Actually, the next name is Anggrek. This is in Jakarta's area.

Correct, got confused

[Chacor]

That said it really wouldn't surprise me if Perth named it anyway, since Jakarta don't seem to be caring about this.

[somethingfunny]

I've always wondered this.

Why is Jakarta an RSMC? I have never heard of a cyclone threatening Indonesia aside from rare exceptions like Typhoon Vamei (which was outside Jakarta's area of responsibility) Similarly why is Port Moresby an RSMC and why are there separate offices for Perth, Darwin, and Brisbane....wouldn't it be much easier if Darwin were in charge of the entire area?

Reunion, Darwin, and Fiji could handle the entire Southern Hemisphere as the Northern Hemisphere is handled by Miami, Honolulu, Tokyo, and New Delhi. Why all the tiny backwater RSMCs in the South?

[Chacor]

They're not RSMCs, they're TCWCs which are on a lesser scale. They only have responsibility for tropical cyclone warnings in their areas; the RSMCs, as the name suggests, are in charge of all meteorology.

Also, TCs do threaten Indonesia from time to time, especially when they form in the Arafura Sea.

REMARKS:
The system has significantly improved organisation over the last 24 hours,
despite continuing moderate shear. High SSTs are likely assisting the low to
overcome the shear, and low to mid level curvature of the cloud lines has
improved markedly in microwave imagery together with a consolidation of the
central overcast.

Using a shear pattern consistently gives a DT of around T3.0 over the last 3
available images. The MET is at 3.0 based on a 24 hour trend of D+ and
yesterdays assignment of T1.0 at 00Z. Pattern matching does not indicate any
adjustment to the MET and hence both DT and MET are 3.0. There are no FT
constraints to assigning 3.0 hence FT and CI are set at 3.0. The 0244Z ASCAT
pass indicates 25-30 knots in the western semicircle, however given the
previously reported low bias of ASCAT it is possible that winds in this region
are 30-35 knots. The final wind intensity estimate is assigned at 30 knots. This
system is considered to be very close to TC intensity and gales are likely to
extend around the LLCC during the next diurnally favourable period overnight.

Shear conditions are forecast to become more favourable during Sunday and the
system will remain over SST>28C. The mid latitude system passing to the south
erodes the mid level ridge and results in a recurvature to the southeast during
Sunday. This also brings the system under the ridge into light shear and by
Sunday evening the system should be experiencing quite favourable conditions.
The development of the system in the South China Sea should not be detrimental
to this system so based on the expected conditions, and consistent with the
trend in STIPS intensity guidance it is forecast to reach hurricane force on
Monday.

The spread of model guidance indicates the Cocos Islands has a high risk of
impact from hurricane force winds.

As the system passes south of 12S the ocean heat content becomes marginal. The
system is also likely to encounter more stable boundary layer air in the wake of
the mid latitude system. Hence the system is expected to weaken as it moves off
to the southwest on Wednesday.

REMARKS:
Over the last six hours the system has consolidated with deep convection now
beginning to wrap around the centre. High SSTs are likely assisting the low to
overcome moderate shear.

A shear pattern consistently gives a DT of around T3.0. The MET is 3.0 based on
a 24 hour trend of D. Pattern matching does not indicate any adjustment to the
MET and hence both DT and MET are 3.0. There are no FT constraints to assigning
3.0 hence FT and CI are set at 3.0. The 0244Z ASCAT pass indicates 25-30 knots
