Verification of Atlantic ghost storm tracks of January-May 2021
I falsely detected (sub)tropical cyclogenesis in Atlantic (north of equator and west of Greenwich) 51 times in January thru May of 2021. Additionally, Gulf of Guinea cyclogeneses lead to Atlantic crossover 4 times. Tracks were made of 16 systems. In the calculations, crossover from Gulf of Guinea as a tropical cyclone is considered equal to formation, and crossover into East Pacific as a tropical cyclone is considered equal to dissipation. At the lead time of 1 day ( 24 hours), there were 1 false detections. At the lead time of 2 days ( 48 hours), there was 4 false detections. At the lead time of 3 days ( 72 hours), there were 1 false detections. At the lead time of 4 days ( 96 hours), there were 2 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 0 false detections. At the lead time of 7 days ( 168 hours), there were 0 false detections. At the lead time of 8 d...
