Verification of East Pacific ghost storm tracks of January-May 2021

I falsely detected (sub)tropical cyclogenesis in East Pacific (north of equator and east of 140 degrees west) 51 times in January thru May 2021. In the same time period, I falsely detected 4 crossovers from North Atlantic. Tracks were made of 14 systems.

In the calculations, crossover from Atlantic as a tropical cyclone is considered equal to formation or regeneration.

At the lead time of 1 day (24 hours), there were 0 false detections.
At the lead time of 2 days (48 hours), there was 1 false detection.
At the lead time of 3 days (72 hours), there were 3 false detections.
At the lead time of 4 days (96 hours), there were 4 false detections.
At the lead time of 5 days (120 hours), there were 4 false detections.
At the lead time of 6 days (144 hours), there were 5 false detections.
At the lead time of 7 days (168 hours), there were 5 false detections.
At the lead time of 8 days (192 hours), there were 8 false detections.
At the lead time of 9 days (216 hours), there were 9 false detections.
At the lead time of 10 days (240 hours), there were 13 false detections.
At the lead time of 11 days (264 hours), there were 18 false detections.
At the lead time of 12 days (288 hours), there were 17 false detections.
At the lead time of 13 days (312 hours), there were 19 false detections.
At the lead time of 14 days (336 hours), there were 19 false detections.
At the lead time of 15 days (360 hours), there were 20 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 16 false detections.
At the lead time of 18 days (432 hours), there were 14 false detections.
At the lead time of 19 days (456 hours), there were 11 false detections.
At the lead time of 20 days (480 hours), there were 9 false detections.
At the lead time of 21 days (504 hours), there were 7 false detections.

System E#13

was not a ghost storm. Rather, it was Blanca.

Ghost storm L#16

This Atlantic system was Claudette - however, since Claudette was not an EPac system, the only track with crossover is listed as a ghost storm here.
