pressures low enough to suggest a close circulation existed. The two most notable examples of this are a 20 kt/1006 mb ob at 1800 UTC 16 September and a 15 kt/1005 mb at 0000 UTC 17 September. In addition for the 1800 UTC 16 September hand-plotted map, it is unclear how many valid tropical-storm winds are actually plotted there. Three such winds are colored in, but there is a penciled in comment saying “one good gale”. If these low pressure obs are reliable enough to show that a closed circulation existed, then please re-write the submission as a possible new tropical storm. Several ships do indicate a low enough pressure that a closed circulation would have to existed. In addition, there are at least a few legitimate gales while the system had a closed circulation (and was non-baroclinic throughout its entire lifecycle). Thus the system has been rewritten to indicate a new tropical storm. 4. Suspect #9: Please note somewhere in the submission that the reconnaissance aircraft reported 1006 mb on 2 October. Done. 4. The committee concurs with leaving the remainder of the suspect systems out of HURDAT. Agreed.
