Verification of tracks made of TD 1-E
I made 53 tracks of Tropical Depression One-E, before it was assessed as a tropical cyclone. I made three more tracks after that point. Additionally, within 480 hours of cyclogenesis, there were 21 instances, when I missed cyclogenesis entirely. Detection rate was good. Peak intensity was hugely overestimated. Timing of formation was originally way too early, while dissipation time was also mostly somewhat too early. Longevity was overestimated. Position accuracy was very good in the long range, and very poor in the short range. As of this analysis, best track positions are available April 22, 12Z thru April 26, 18Z, and as such, position comparisons are possible only for this timespan. Since I give only SSHS categories in my tracks, I don't calculate intensity errors in units of speed, but in categories. For this purpose, I define tropical or subtropical storms as "Category 0", tropical or subtropical depressions as "Category -1" and non-existence of a
