Pacific typhoon seasons
1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 |
The 2000 Pacific typhoon season has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 2000, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between May and November.[1] These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean.
The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean, north of the equator and west of the international date line. Storms that form east of the date line and north of the equator are called hurricanes; see 2000 Pacific hurricane season. Tropical Storms formed in the entire west pacific basin are assigned a name by the Tokyo Typhoon Center. Tropical depressions in this basin have the "W" suffix added to their number. Tropical depressions that enter or form in the Philippine area of responsibility are assigned a name by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA. This can often result in the same storm having two names.
Storms
In storm information below, wind-speed advisories differ from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) to the JMA as the JTWC uses the United States criteria of 1-minute mean to designate maximum sustained winds, while the JMA uses the 10-minute mean wind criteria to designate tropical cyclone maximum sustained winds. This difference generally results in JTWC maximum winds appearing higher than the maximum winds described by the JMA for the same typhoon.
Typhoon Damrey (Asiang)
| Typhoon (JMA) |
| Category 5 super typhoon (SSHS) |
|
|
| Duration |
May 7 – May 12 |
| Intensity |
165 km/h (105 mph) (10-min), 930 mbar (hPa) |
The 2000 pacific typhoon season's first storm formed on May 3, and rapidly intensified on the 8th and 9th to a typhoon with 1-minute sustained winds of 285 km/h (180 mph) with a minimum central pressure of 930 hPa (mbar). It continued to the northeast, and vertical shear caused it to dissipate on the 12th. Damrey was the strongest May typhoon since Typhoon Phyllis in 1958 but Phyllis just had higher winds at 295 km/h (185 mph). Damrey had no significant effects on land in its life.
Tropical Storm Longwang (Biring)
| Tropical storm (JMA) |
| Tropical storm (SSHS) |
|
|
| Duration |
May 19 – May 20 |
| Intensity |
85 km/h (50 mph) (10-min), 990 mbar (hPa) |
On May 15, a monsoonal trough associated with a low pressure area formed north west of the Philippines.On May 17 the low pressure area started to drift across northern philippines,and rapidly intensified into a tropical storm before quickly dissipating due to vertical wind shear on May 20.The remnants were soon absorbed by a non-tropical low on May 22.
Tropical Depression 03W (Konsing)
| Tropical depression (PAGASA) |
| Tropical depression (SSHS) |
|
|
| Duration |
May 21 – May 22 |
| Intensity |
55 km/h (35 mph) (10-min), 1000 mbar (hPa) |
On May 20, a low pressure area formed south of Hong Kong and drifted west towards the Philippines.On May 21 the low pressure area rapidly organized and strengthened into a tropical depression.However it quickly dissipated due to vertical wind shear.
Typhoon Kirogi (Ditang)
| Typhoon (JMA) |
| Category 4 typhoon (SSHS) |
|
|
| Duration |
July 2 – July 8 |
| Intensity |
155 km/h (100 mph) (10-min), 940 mbar (hPa) |
On June 30, an area of disturbed weather was identified roughly 650 km (405 mi) east of the Philippine island of Mindanao. This system gradually organized as it remained stationary, prompting the JTWC to issue a TCFA the following day. The JMA and JTWC began monitoring the disturbance as a tropical depression early on July 2, with the former classifying it as 05W. Several hours later, PAGASA also issued their first advisory on the depression, giving it the local name Ditang. Tracking northward, the system intensified into a tropical storm, at which time it received the name Kirogi, before undergoing rapid intensification late on July 3. Following this phase, the storm attained typhoon intensity and developed a well-defined 59 km (37 mi) wide symmetrical eye. Typhoon Kirogi attained its peak intensity early on July 4 with winds of 155 km/h (100 mph 10-minute sustained) and a barometric pressure of 940 mbar (hPa; 27.76 inHg).
In Japan, hundreds of residents were evacuated as Typhoon Kirogi approached the country. Since the storm weakened considerably from its peak intensity, damage was much less than initially anticipated. In all, damages from the storm amounted to 15 billion (2001 JPY, $140 million USD).[2]
Typhoon Kai-tak (Edeng)
| Typhoon (JMA) |
| Category 1 typhoon (SSHS) |
|
|
| Duration |
July 5 – July 10 |
| Intensity |
140 km/h (85 mph) (10-min), 960 mbar (hPa) |
On July 2nd,a low pressure area formed north west of the Philippines and became a tropical depression on July 3 and started to drifted northward, becoming a storm on the 5th and a typhoon on the 6th. Kai-tak continued northward, hitting Taiwan on the 9th. Kai-tak dissipated on the 11th over the Yellow Sea, after causing torrential flooding resulting in 188 fatalities. It was named after Hong Kong's old international airport, Kai Tak Airport.

|
|
| Duration |
June 18 – June 18 |
| Intensity |
55 km/h (35 mph) (10-min), 1000 mbar (hPa) |
A vortex in an active trough over the South China Sea developed into a midget tropical depression on June 18, 35 km south-southwest of Hong Kong. It moved northward and made landfall that day, with its very small circulation being well captured by the Observatory's network of automatic weather stations. The depression brought light rain to Hong Kong and moderate winds. Although this tropical depression was widely recognised by Asian agencies, there are still disputes on the nature of this system. It had an unusually small size and formed surprisingly close to land.

|
|
| Duration |
July 19 – July 23 |
| Intensity |
45 km/h (30 mph) (1-min), 1002 mbar (hPa) |
JTWC treated 10W and 11W as separate depressions, although PAGASA and JMA both considered them the same system.
Severe Tropical Storm Bolaven (Huaning)

| Tropical storm (SSHS) |
|
|
| Duration |
July 28 – July 29 |
| Intensity |
65 km/h (40 mph) (10-min), 996 mbar (hPa) |
A tropical wave organized into Tropical Depression One-C on July 20. It strengthened slowly and moved nearly due west. After reaching storm strength on July 21, it was named Upana, which is Hawaiian for "Urban". Despite a favourable environment, Upana never strengthened much, and it dissipated on July 23 for unexplained reasons. Upana's remnants continued moving to the west, and crossed the dateline. Upana is the first storm in the Central Pacific Hurricane Center's area of responsibility to be named in July.
The remnants of Upana encountered a favourable environment just west of the dateline, and they formed Tropical Depression 12W. The depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Chanchu. The name Chanchu, submitted by Macau, is a Chinese word for pearl. Chanchu moved north, and had dissipated by July 30.
Gary Padgett suggested that there was good evidence Chanchu was actually a regeneration of Upana. The official policy is that dateline crossers keep their name. However, there was supposedly some doubt at the time so Chanchu and Upana were officially treated as distinct tropical cyclones. Also, since Upana had dissipated several days earlier, and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center had already assigned a new number for the system, Gary Padgett deemed it likely that the Japan Meteorological Agency's decision to rename the cyclone was the best choice.

Typhoon Jelawat
| Typhoon (JMA) |
| Category 4 typhoon (SSHS) |
|
|
| Duration |
August 1 – August 10 |
| Intensity |
155 km/h (100 mph) (10-min), 940 mbar (hPa) |
On July 29, a cluster of thunderstorms quickly form a low pressure area,which became a tropical depression 12w on August 1.Favorable conditions allow the system to rapidly intensify as it was named: "Jelawat",and soon which peak intensity on August 2 as a Category 4 typhoon.On August 3 Jelawat weakened into a category 2 typhoon due to slightly high wind shear.On August 6, Jelawat strengthened into a category 3 typhoon, due to more favorable conditions, and started to develop a large eye at 60kilometers across.Weak steering winds soon caused Jelawat to drift slowly on from August 7-August 8.On August 7, Jelawat undergo an eyewall replacement cycle for 4 hours, and became Doughnut looking, asymmetric typhoon, with a large, symmetric eye at 170kilometers across surrounded by a thick ring of intense convection.After developing the large symmetric eye, Jelawat strengthened again from a category 1 typhoon,to a category 2 typhoon,but soon weakened into a category 1 typhoon as it encountered wind shear as it made landfall at southern Shanghai.
Jelawat appears to be a rare Annular Typhoon also known as a truck tire or doughnut typhoon from August 6 to August 9, which involves a cyclone that has large, symmetric eye surrounded by a thick ring of intense convection.

45 km/h (30 mph) (1-min), Unknown |
A tropical disturbance developed in the Western Pacific Ocean along the eastern periphery of the monsoon trough in mid-August. Located at 33º north, it steadily organized, and became Tropical Depression Sixteen-W on August 15 while located 1700 miles to the northwest of Honolulu, Hawaii. It moved eastward along the west- east oriented surface pressure trough, and crossed the International Date Line later on the 15th. Warmer than usual water temperatures allowed the system to intensify despite its unusually high latitude, and it became Tropical Storm Wene on the 16th. It quickly attained a peak intensity of 50 mph, but weakened due to cooler waters and wind shear. Wene continued to weaken, and dissipated when the storm merged with an extratropical cyclone.
As a depression, Wene was the first, and currently is the most recent Western Pacific tropical cyclone to cross the dateline since the 1996 season. The name Wene is Hawaiian for "Wayne".

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration uses its own naming scheme for tropical cyclones in their area of responsibility. PAGASA assigns names to tropical depressions that form within their area of responsibility and any tropical cyclone that might move into their area of responsibility. Should the list of names for a given year prove to be insufficient, names are taken from an auxiliary list, the first 10 of which are published each year before the season starts.This is the same list used for the 1996 season. Names that were not assigned are marked in gray
