(a) The example of trajectories of the cyclone observed in Eastern Pacific. In October, 2003, in East part of Pacific ocean 3 outputs of a tropical cyclone were observed: Hurricane Nora, October, 1–9, 2003, with the maximal speed of wind –41 m/s; Tropical Storm Olaf, October, 3–8, 2003, with maximal wind speed of 30 m/s; Tropical Storm Patricia, October, 20–26, 2003, with the maximal wind speed of 31 m/s. All storms were observed prior to the beginning of action of the magnetospheric storm. (b) The example of trajectories of the cyclone observed in Western Pacific for events in 2003. In October-November, 2003, more than 5 intensive and long cyclones were observed.
