five seasons=1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999The 1997 Pacific typhoon season has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1997, but most
tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwesternPacific Ocean between May and November. [Gary Padgett. [http://www.typhoon2000.ph/garyp_mgtcs/may03sum.txt May 2003 Tropical Cyclone Summary.] Retrieved on2006-08-26 .] These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwesternPacific 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; see1997 Pacific hurricane season . Tropical Storms formed in the entire west Pacific basin were assigned a name by theJoint Typhoon Warning 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 thePhilippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA. This can often result in the same storm having two names.torms
The season was unusual in the number of super typhoons that occurred in the basin, with eleven typhoons reaching winds of at least 135 knots. They were Isa, Nestor, Rosie, Winnie, Bing, Oliwa (from Central Pacific), Ginger, Ivan, Joan, Keith, and Paka (from Central Pacific). This was due to the strong El Niño of 1997-1998, which contributed to the record amounts of not only super typhoons but also tropical storms in the Western and Eastern Pacific. Fortunately, most of the stronger systems remained at sea.
Tropical Storm Hannah (Atring)
Infobox Hurricane Small
Basin=WPac
Track=Hannah 1997 track.png
Formed=January 19
Dissipated=January 27
1-min winds=50
Pressure=987In early January, an area of convection developed along a near-equator ial trough just west of theInternational Date Line . It tracked steadily westward, and remained disorganized for about week. OnJanuary 18 , deep convection increased as a low-level circulation began to form, and at 0000 UTC onJanuary 19 it developed into Tropical Depression 01W while located to the southwest ofGuam . Based on satellite imagery estimates, theJoint Typhoon Warning Center upgraded it to Tropical Storm Hannah six hours after first forming. The deep convection quickly organized into well-defined cyclonic bands, and early onJanuary 20 Hannah attained its peak intensity of 60 mph near the island ofYap . Increased southeasterlywind shear weakened the storm, leaving its dwindling convection situated along the northern portion of the circulation. Interaction with a large and powerfulextratropical cyclone left the storm moving erratically, and onJanuary 22 Hannah weakened to tropical depression status. Its motion turned to a steady southwestward motion, and onJanuary 27 Hannah dissipated a short distance east of the Philippine island ofMindanao .cite web|author=Joint Typhoon Warning Center|year=1999|title=Tropical Storm Hannah (01W) ATCR|accessdate=2007-04-19|url=https://metocph.nmci.navy.mil/jtwc/atcr/1997atcr/ch3/01ww.htm]Near the end of its duration, the

Infobox Hurricane Small
Basin=WPac
Track=Isa 1997 track.png
Formed=April 9
Dissipated=April 24
1-min winds=145
Pressure=892Isa developed from a disturbance in themonsoon trough near theCaroline Islands onApril 12 . It moved erratically at first, though after attaining tropical storm status it curved westward due to thesubtropical ridge to its north. Isa very gradually intensified, and onApril 20 the typhoon reached peak 1-min winds of 270 km/h (165 mph), as reported by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center; Japan Meteorological Agency reported maximum 10-min winds of 155 km/h (100 mph). After turning northward, it accelerated to the northeast, and merged with a largerextratropical cyclone onApril 24 .cite web|author=Joint Typhoon Warning Center|year=1999|title=Typhoon Isa (02W) ATCR|accessdate=2007-04-26|url=https://metocph.nmci.navy.mil/jtwc/atcr/1997atcr/ch3/02ww.htm]Early in its duration, Isa caused light rainfall and moderate winds on
Pohnpei . Later, a stationary rainband from the typhoon dropped heavy precipitation onGuam during its dry season. Damage in the GuamNational Weather Service area of responsibility totaled $1 million (1997 USD, $1.3 million 2006 USD), the majority of it from crop damage. No deaths were reported.cite web|author=National Climatic Data Center|year=1997|title=Event Report for Typhoon Isa|accessdate=2007-04-26|url=http://www4.ncdc.noaa.gov/cgi-win/wwcgi.dll?wwevent~ShowEvent~315211]Tropical Storm Jimmy
Infobox Hurricane Small
Basin=WPac
Track=Jimmy 1997 track.png
Formed=April 22
Dissipated=April 26
1-min winds=55
Pressure=984A low-levelequator ial westerly wind system developed an area of convection onApril 18 , the same system that previously developed Typhoon Isa. It drifted west-northwestward, and onApril 21 separated from the westerly wind system. At 0400 UTC onApril 22 , theJoint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) issued aTropical Cyclone Formation Alert on the system, and two hours later the JTWC issued the first warning on Tropical Storm Jimmy about 1360 km (845 mi) southeast ofGuam .cite web|author=Joint Typhoon Warning Center|year=1999|title=Tropical Storm Jimmy (03W) ATCR|accessdate=2007-04-20|url=https://metocph.nmci.navy.mil/jtwc/atcr/1997atcr/ch3/03ww.htm] Coinciding with its first warning, theJapan Meteorological Agency (JMA) classified it as a tropical depression.cite web|author=Japan Meteorological Agency|year=1997|title=1997 Western Pacific Best Track|accessdate=2007-04-20|url=http://www.jma.go.jp/jma/jma-eng/jma-center/rsmc-hp-pub-eg/Besttracks/bst1997.txt]Jimmy continued northwestward through a break in the subtropical ridge caused by Isa, and it steadily intensified as it tracked through an area of light vertical
wind shear . It recurved to the northeast, and shortly after reaching its westernmost point Jimmy attained its peak intensity of 55 mph onApril 24 . Conversely, JMA assessed Jimmy as remaining a minimal tropical storm throughout its duration. After maintaining peak winds for about 18 hours, to increased southwesterly winds aloft quickly weakened the storm, and late onApril 25 JTWC issued its final advisory on Jimmy after its low-level circulation center became completely exposed from the deep convection. OnApril 26 , Jimmy was absorbed by an approaching frontal trough over the openPacific Ocean . The storm had little effects on land.Tropical Storm Kelly
Infobox Hurricane Small
Basin=WPac
Track=Kelly 1997 track.png
Formed=May 4
Dissipated=May 11
1-min winds=45
Pressure=991A low-levelequator ial trough developed an area of convection onMay 4 . The low strengthened as it became more organized over the next two days. Late onMay 6 , the JTWC issued a TCFA and the system was declared Tropical Depression 04W shortly after. The depression slowly intensified and was upgraded to a Tropical Storm early onMay 8 and was named Kelly. Kelly was able to intensify slightly before strong vertical wind shear displaced the center, weakening Kelly. Kelly was downgraded to a Tropical Depression onMay 10 and the remnant circulation dissipated the next day.

Track=Scott 1997 track.png
Formed=July 20
Dissipated=August 3
1-min winds=55
Pressure=984In the middle of July, a mid-level circulation formed within theTropical Upper Tropospheric Trough . The circulation built toward the surface, and byJuly 20 the system developed a low-level circulation with scattered associated convection.cite web|author=Joint Typhoon Warning Center|year=1999|title=Tropical Storm Scott (11W) ATCR|accessdate=2007-04-25|url=https://metocph.nmci.navy.mil/jtwc/atcr/1997atcr/ch3/11ww.htm] Based on its organization, theJapan Meteorological Agency (JMA) classified the system as a weak tropical depression early onJuly 20 while located about 820 km (510 mi) northeast ofFarallon de Pajaros , the northernmost island in theNorthern Mariana Islands . Early development was impeded by the outflow from Typhoon Rosie; after drifting northwestward for 2 days the system turned to the northeast, and byJuly 24 the influence from Rosie greatly diminished. Accordingly, the organization of the depression quickly increased, and onJuly 24 theJoint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) classified it as Tropical Depression 11W.A building
anticyclone to its northwest forced the depression southeastward. It became steadily less organized, and onJuly 26 JTWC issued a final warning on the system, believing it to be dissipating. Shortly thereafter, however, the system began re-organizing, and onJuly 27 the system developed into Tropical Storm Scott. The storm tracked northwestward, then westward, and finally turned to the northeast. Scott gradually strengthened to attain peak winds of 105 km/h (65 mph) onJuly 29 . JMA had upgraded the depression to tropical storm status onJuly 28 , and assessed its peak intensity at 75 km/h (45 mph). Scott maintained its peak intensity for about 12 hours before slowly weakening as it accelerated northeastward. OnAugust 2 , the storm merged with an approaching frontal trough, and the following day JMA considered Scott dissipated while located near theAlaska n island of Gareloi. Tropical Storm Scott never affected land. The storm was the only tropical cyclone during the season to not form from themonsoon trough .cite web|author=Joint Typhoon Warning Center|year=1999|title=Summary of Western North Pacific and North Indian Ocean Tropical Cyclones|accessdate=2007-04-25|url=https://metocph.nmci.navy.mil/jtwc/atcr/1997atcr/ch3/chap3.htm]Typhoon Tina (Huling)

Intensification became more rapid as conditions became more favorable, and Winnie reached typhoon strength on the 10th. 2 days later, it became the 4th Super Typhoon of the season with peak winds of 160 mph. Soon after, the eye became ragged and large, with an outer eyewall reaching 200 miles in diameter. On the 18th, a minimal Typhoon Winnie passed north ofTaiwan and hit easternChina , where it winded down until dissipating on the 19th. The remnant continued northeastward, bringing heavy rain and damage across China until the 23rd. Winnie caused 64 deaths, 39 of which were in Taiwan from the heavy rain.

Pressure=872Two near-equatorial troughs of low pressure, having formed from westerly low-level winds, developed into Tropical Depressions 27W and 28W onOctober 9 andOctober 11 , respectively. Both poorly organized, they headed generally westward without much convection. On the 13th, 27W became Tropical Storm Ivan and on the 14th, 28W became Tropical Storm Joan. The two were within convert|500|nmi|km|abbr=off|lk=on of each other, but they were separate enough to strengthen on their own. On the 15th, while crossing theNorthern Mariana Islands , they both reached typhoon intensity. Rapid intensification came soon after, and Ivan and Joan became the 8th and 9th Super Typhoons of the year on the 17th. The two underwent theFujiwhara effect , bringing Ivan more westerly and Joan more northerly. After reaching peaks of convert|300|km/h|mph|abbr=on|lk=off winds within 12 hours of each other, they slowly weakened to Category 4's. Ivan struck the northernPhilippines at this intensity causing 1 death, while Joan restrengthened to a Category 5. They both turned to the northeast, and slowly dissipated.How they reached their extreme intensities at such a close distance to each other is unknown. Normally, when two
tropical cyclone s are relatively close to each other, one typically shears the other. In this case, they both maintained Category 5 intensity for at least a day within a relatively close distance of each other. The monsoon trough, which typically helps intensify Western Pacific typhoons, was absent from these storms. Pressures were higher than normal, and the initial disturbances were very poorly organized. Regardless, they are among the strongest Super Typhoons of the world with convert|300|km/h|mph|abbr=on|lk=off winds each. [Joint Typhoon Warning Center.
