Abstract

A brief case history of a mid-Pacific upper tropospheric low which developed into a surface system that rapidly attained tropical character is presented. Satellite and conventional data suggest that hurricane-force winds were probably attained, marking, perhaps, the first such documented case north of 30° latitude in the Central Pacific.
