TROPICAL DEPRESSION NINE DISCUSSION NUMBER 1
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
5 PM EDT THU AUG 04 2005
YES...INDEED WE HAVE ANOTHER TROPICAL DEPRESSION IN THE DEEP
TROPICS. SATELLITE IMAGES AND EARLIER QUIKSCAT DATA INDICATE THAT
THE AREA AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE TROPICAL WAVE IN
THE FAR EASTERN ATLANTIC HAS BECOME A LITTLE BETTER ORGANIZED AND
CAN BE CLASSIFIED AS A TROPICAL DEPRESSION. THE SYSTEM IS LARGE
WITH PLENTY OF CONVECTIVE BANDS...EXCELLENT OUTFLOW AND A BURST OF
CONVECTION NEAR THE ALLEGED CENTER. THE DEPRESSION IS STILL IN ITS
EARLY FORMATIVE STAGE AND THE CENTER IS DIFFICULT TO LOCATE. IN
FACT...IT COULD REFORM ANYWHERE WITHIN THE LARGER CIRCULATION. THIS
MAKES TRACKING THE SYSTEM HIGHLY UNCERTAIN...BUT THE BEST ESTIMATE
OF THE INITIAL MOTION IS 280 DEGREES AT 10 KNOTS. THE DEPRESSION IS
EMBEDDED WITHIN THE EASTERLY FLOW AROUND THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AND
IT SHOULD CONTINUE TO MOVE BETWEEN THE WEST AND WEST-NORTHWEST
THROUGH 5 DAYS...GRADUALLY GAINING LATITUDE. NOW THAT WE HAVE A
DEPRESSION...THE 18Z GLOBAL MODEL RUNS WILL PROBABLY GIVE US BETTER
GUIDANCE TONIGHT.
THE INTENSITY FORECAST MIRRORS THE SHIPS MODEL WHICH BRINGS THE
DEPRESSION TO HURRICANE STATUS BY 72 HOURS. THIS SEEMS REASONABLE
SINCE THE SHEAR IS FORECAST TO REMAIN LESS THAN 10 KNOTS ALONG THE
FORECAST TRACK OF THE CYCLONE.

TROPICAL DEPRESSION NINE DISCUSSION NUMBER 2
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
11 PM EDT THU AUG 04 2005
THE CENTER OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION NINE IS A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO
LOCATE THIS EVENING. AN SSM/I OVERPASS AT 2245Z AND SHORTWAVE IR
IMAGERY FROM METEOSAT-8 SUGGEST THAT THE CYCLONE CENTER IS
ELONGATED NORTH-NORTHEAST TO SOUTH-SOUTHWEST...WITH SATELLITE FIXES
FROM TAFB AND SAB FALLING NEAR THE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST END. IT IS
POSSIBLE THAT THE MEAN CENTER IS TO THE NORTH AND EAST OF THE
ADVISORY POSITION. OVERPASSES FROM THE TRMM AND AQUA SATELLITES
LATER TONIGHT MAY HELP RESOLVE THE ISSUE. DEEP CONVECTION IS
CURRENTLY SOMEWHAT DISORGANIZED...SO THE INITIAL INTENSITY REMAINS
25 KT IN AGREEMENT WITH SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATES.
THE INITIAL MOTION IS AN SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN 280/11. THE DEPRESSION
IS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF A DEEP-LAYER RIDGE. LARGE-SCALE MODELS
FORECAST THIS SHOULD BE THE CASE FOR THE NEXT 3 DAYS...WHICH SHOULD
PRODUCE A GENERAL WESTWARD TO WEST-NORTHWESTWARD MOTION. AFTER
THAT...THE CYCLONE COULD BE APPROACHING A WEAKNESS IN THE RIDGE IN
THE MID-ATLANTIC...WHICH WOULD ALLOW A MORE NORTHERLY MOTION. THE
OFFICIAL FORECAST TRACK FOLLLOWS THIS SCENARIO AND IS AN UPDATE OF
THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE 18Z GFS MODEL
DID NOT APPEAR TO INITIALIZE THE CYCLONE WELL...WHILE THE 18Z
NOGAPS MODEL DISSIPATED THE SYSTEM IN LESS THAN 72 HR.
LARGE-SCALE MODELS FORECAST LIGHT VERTICAL SHEAR ALONG THE FORECAST
TRACK DURING THE NEXT FIVE DAYS. THUS...THE BIGGEST CONTROL ON THE
INTENSITY SHOULD BE SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES. THE CENTER OF THE
CYCLONE IS CURRENTLY OVER 27C WATER...WHILE REPORTS IN THE
NORTHEASTERN PART OF THE CIRCULATION SHOW 26C WATER. COMBINE THIS
WITH THE BROAD CIRCULATION AND THE INITIAL INTENSIFICATION SHOULD
SOMEWHAT SLOW...PERHAPS EVEN SLOWER THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST. THE
FORECAST TRACK BRINGS THE SYSTEM TO 28C WATER BY 72 HR...WHICH
COULD ALLOW MORE STRENGTHENING THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST. HOWEVER...
ANY MOTION TO THE RIGHT OF THE TRACK WOULD DELAY THE ARRIVAL OVER
WARMER WATER AND SLOW INTENSIFICATION. THE INTENSITY FORECAST
COMPROMISES BETWEEN THESE EXTREMES AND IS SIMILAR TO...BUT STRONGER
THAN...THE SHIPS MODEL.
THE WIND RADII FORECAST AT 72 HR HAS BEEN REVISED BASED ON
CLIMATOLOGY AND THE BROAD CYCLONIC ENVELOPE OF THE DEPRESSION.

5:00 am TD #9
5:00 am NHC advisory 3 on TD #9
...Poorly organized depression moving over the open tropical
Atlantic...
at 5 am AST...0900z...the poorly-defined center of Tropical
Depression Nine was located near latitude 14.4 north... longitude 36.1 west or about 785 miles...1260 km... west of the southernmost Cape Verde Islands.
The depression is moving toward the west-northwest near 13 mph...20 km/hr...and this general motion is expected to continue for the next 24 hours.
Maximum sustained winds are near 30 mph... 45 km/hr...with higher gusts. Some strengthening is forecast during the next 24 hours and the depression could become a tropical storm by Saturday.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1009 mb...29.80 inches.
Repeating the 5 am AST position...14.4 N... 36.1 W. Movement
toward...west-northwest near 13 mph. Maximum sustained
winds... 30 mph. Minimum central pressure...1009 mb.
The next advisory will be issued by the National
Hurricane Center at 11 am AST.

TROPICAL DEPRESSION NINE DISCUSSION NUMBER 3
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
5 AM EDT FRI AUG 05 2005
THE CENTER OF TD-9 REMAINS DIFFICULT TO LOCATE. THE BEST ESTIMATE OF
THE POSITION IS ABOUT 60 NMI NORTH OF THE PREVIOUS POSITIONS AND
FORECAST TRACKS BASED ON MICROWAVE AND NIGHTIME VISIBLE SATELLITE
IMAGERY. A 05/0411Z AQUA OVERPASS CLEARLY INDICATED THE BROAD
CIRCULATION WAS BETWEEN 14N AND 15N LATITUDE. A MORE SOUTHERLY
POSITION CLOSER TO 14N WAS CHOSEN SINCE THIS WOULD BE CLOSER TO THE
DEEP CONVECTION. HOWEVER...IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE CENTER MAY HAVE
TO BE ADJUSTED FARTHER NORTH ONCE VISIBLE IMAGERY IS AVAILABLE.
THE INITIAL MOTION ESTIMATE IS AN UNCERTAIN 295/11...BASED ON THE
OVERALL MOTION OF THE LARGE CIRCULATION ENVELOPE. TD-9 IS
CURRENTLY MOVING TOWARD A WEAKNESS IN THE BERMUDA RIDGE THAT IS
BEING CREATED BY AN UPPER-LEVEL LOW NEAR 29N 42W...AND AN
ASSOCIATED TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTHWARD. MOST OF THE GLOBAL MODELS
AGREE THAT THE WEAKNESS WILL SLOWLY FILL IN AS THE LOW WEAKENS...
WHICH WILL ACT TO FORCE THE TROPICAL CYCLONE ON A MORE WESTWARD
TRACK AFTER 36 HOURS. IN THE DAY 4 AND 5 TIME PERIODS...THE MODELS
DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY WITH THE UKMET...NOGAPS...CANADIAN...AND ECMWF
MODELS TURNING THE CYCLONE NORTHWESTWARD TOWARD ANOTHER DEVELOPING
WEAKNESS IN THE RIDGE...WHEREAS THE GFS AND GFDL MOVE THE STORM
MORE WESTWARD. GIVEN THE HIGH ZONAL FLOW FORECAST TO PERSIST ACROSS
THE U.S. AND NORTH ATLANTIC...THE OFFICIAL FORECAST LEANS MORE
TOWARD THE GFS AND GFDL SOLUTIONS.
ALTHOUGH THE VERTICAL SHEAR IS FORECAST TO REMAIN LOW...LESS THAN 5
KT...THE HIGHER LATITUDE INITIAL POSITION AND FORECAST TRACK KEEPS
THE CYCLONE OVER COOLER SSTS UNTIL 72 HOURS. AFTERWARDS. GRADUALLY
INCREASING SSTS ABOVE 28C SHOULD ALLOW FOR SOME SIGNIFICANT
STRENGTHENING TO OCCUR.ON.
