Verification of East Pacific ghost storm tracks of August-October 2020

 I falsely detected (sub)tropical cyclogenesis in East Pacific (north of equator and east of 140 degrees west) 34 times in August thru October of 2020. Tracks were made of 11 systems.

In the calculations, crossover into Atlantic as a tropical cyclone is considered equal to dissipation, and crossover from Atlantic as a tropical cyclone is considered equal to formation or regeneration. Exiting the East Pacific tracking map through its left edge is also considered equal to dissipation.

At the lead time of 1 day (24 hours), there was 1 false detection.
At the lead time of 2 days (48 hours), there were 2 false detections.
At the lead time of 3 days (72 hours), there was 1 false detection.
At the lead time of 4 days (96 hours), there were 0 false detections.
At the lead time of 5 days (120 hours), there were 2 false detections.
At the lead time of 6 days (144 hours), there were 3 false detections.
At the lead time of 7 days (168 hours), there were 4 false detections.
At the lead time of 8 days (192 hours), there were 2 false detections.
At the lead time of 9 days (216 hours), there was 1 false detection.
At the lead time of 10 days (240 hours), there were 2 false detections.
At the lead time of 11 days (264 hours), there were 5 false detections.
At the lead time of 12 days (288 hours), there were 6 false detections.
At the lead time of 13 days (312 hours), there were 10 false detections.
At the lead time of 14 days (336 hours), there were 12 false detections.
At the lead time of 15 days (360 hours), there were 13 false detections.
At the lead time of 16 days (384 hours), there were 15 false detections.
At the lead time of 17 days (408 hours), there were 17 false detections.
At the lead time of 18 days (432 hours), there were 16 false detections.
At the lead time of 19 days (456 hours), there were 14 false detections.
At the lead time of 20 days (480 hours), there were 10 false detections.

This is bizarre, because these tracks occasionally corresponded to Norbert closer than the actual Norbert tracks. Nevertheless, this is not Norbert.

This Atlantic system was Zeta. In this lone track, there was an erroneous crossover to East Pacific, and the part after splashdown will be counted as a ghost storm here.
