Hurricane COSME 2 Hurricane COSME 23 – 27 JUNE 2013 SYNOPTIC HISTORY Cosme can be traced back to the same tropical wave that spawned Tropical Storm Barry in the Gulf of Mexico. The southern end of the wave moved very slowly across the eastern Pacific due to enhanced southwesterly flow associated with an active ITCZ. A broad low pressure area formed from the wave on 21 June several hundred miles south of Acapulco, Mexico. The large system was not well organized initially, probably due to northwesterly shear from an upper-level trough over the western Caribbean Sea. The shear gradually relaxed during the next two days while an upper-level high built eastward across the low. Convection increased near the ill-defined center and within large banding features early on 23 June, likely aided by the passage of an eastward-moving atmospheric Kelvin wave through the area. Visible satellite images and microwave data suggest the center became well defined by 1200 UTC 23 June, marking the formation of a tropical depression about 435 n mi south of Manzanillo, Mexico. The system became a tropical storm 12 h later. The “best track” chart of Cosme’s path is given in Fig. 1, with the wind and pressure histories shown in Figs.

  • Tropical Cyclone Report Hurricane Cosme (EP062007) 14 – 22 July 2007
    Tropical Cyclone Report Hurricane Cosme (EP062007) 14 – 22 July 2007 Michelle Mainelli National Hurricane Center 17 December 2007 This report was corrected on 17 December 2007 to modify the best track for 1800 UTC 22 July when the system was a remnant low. Cosme was briefly a category 1 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale that remained over the open waters of the eastern and central North Pacific. a. Synoptic History Cosme originated from a tropical wave that emerged off the coast of Africa on 27 June. The wave was difficult to track across the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea due to a lack of convective activity, but is estimated to have entered into the eastern North Pacific basin around 8 July. The wave began to show signs of organization on 10 July, but remained embedded within the InterTropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) for the next couple of days and was slow to develop a well-defined circulation. After separating from the ITCZ on 13 July, the system gradually gained convective organization and became a tropical depression by 1200 UTC 14 July, centered about 1725 n mi east-southeast of Hilo, Hawaii. The “best track” chart of the tropical cyclone’s path is given in Fig. 1, with the wind and pressure histories shown in Figs. 2 and 3, respectively. The best track positions and intensities are listed in Table 1. The depression had a very large circulation and initially moved slowly toward the northwest in response to a weakness in a high pressure ridge to the north. Once convection deepened and a well-defined banding feature developed on July 15, the cyclone became a tropical storm at 1800 UTC that same day.
