For systems in the South Indian west of 90E and in the Southwest Pacific east of 160E which were unnamed, the alphanumeric designator applied by La Reunion or Fiji, respectively, is given in this column. The dates given in most cases refer to the time the system was in warning status and generally do not include the pre-depression stages of the disturbance.
Central pressure is given in millibars, which is numerically equivalent to hectopascals.
A separate table is given for each of the four Southern Hemisphere basins. It will be noted that the basins as defined above are different from what I have been using. An explanation of this change and the rationale behind it will be forthcoming in the June tropical cyclone summary. This system was treated as a subtropical cyclone by La Reunion. Roger Edson of the University of Guam provided me with an alternate track of this system.
