Basin Activity Table

#1 Postby Extratropical94 » Tue Jun 21, 2011 11:03 am

Hey guys, I was kinda bored so i quickly put together this table showing the different cyclone basins and how many systems of which category formed in the current season.
I'm gonna update it from time to time. Used data derives from the RSMCs responsible for the specific area.

An additional two subtropical storms formed in the Southern Atlantic during the 2010/2011 season (one in November 10 and Arani in March 11).
Due to the rarity of such cyclones, I will not create an extra row for them, but simply mention them here.

Note:
- Eastern Pacific and Central Pacific count as one (EPAC), and so do the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal (both for NIN).
- I subdivide the Southern Hemisphere into three basins (SWIN, SPAC and AUS), not into two like the JTWC does.
- If available, I tend to use data from the JMA for West Pac storms. If for example a system is called TD by the JMA, but a TS by JTWC, i will still list it as a TD here because the JMA is the official agency.
- If on the other hand a system is solely designated by the JTWC or PAGASA and not by the JMA at all, it will count towards the season total with the intensity declared by JTWC/PAGASA.
- Yes, I know, Super Typhoon is not an official category, but I use it to point out extremely intense storms (like Megi, Songda etc.).
- I'm not sure why the BOM assigned the number 24U to the low which eventually became Bune. That system never entered the Aussie area of responsibility. That's why I put the 29 in brackets.
