2000 Pacific typhoon season
Encyclopedia
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. 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.
(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.
. 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
).
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
.
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. http://australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/2001/summ0007.txt
on the 23rd. Significant rainfall fell across Taiwan, as up to 949 millimetres (37.4 in) was recorded across northeast sections of the mountainous island. Bilis was responsible for 17 deaths and $133.5 million in damage on Taiwan.
On October 27, Typhoon Xangsane hit southern Luzon
of the Philippines. It turned to the north over the South China Sea, and after strengthening to a 100 mph typhoon it hit Taiwan. Xangsane dissipated on the 1st, after causing 181 casualties, 83 of which came from the Singapore Airlines Flight 006

.
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.
. 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".
. Previous typhoon season names were assigned by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center
. Names are now selected from the following lists, there is no annual list. Names were contributed by 13 members of the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee, except for Singapore
. The 13 nations or territories, along with Micronesia
, each submitted 10 names, which are used in alphabetical order by the English name of the country. The first storm of 2000 was named Damrey and the final one was named Soulik.

Typhoon Damrey (Asiang)
Typhoon Damrey, which formed on May 3, 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.Typhoon Kirogi (Ditang)
