five seasons=1998–99, 1999–00, 2000–01, 2001–02, 2002–03The 2000-01 South Pacific cyclone season was an event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation. It began on November 1, 2000 and ended on April 30, 2001. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the southern Pacific Ocean east of 160°E. Additionally, the regional tropical cyclone operational plan defines a "tropical cyclone year" separately from a "tropical cyclone season", and the "tropical cyclone year" runs from July 1, 2000 to June 30, 2001.http://www.wmo.ch/web/www/TCP/OperationPlans/TCP24-English2004.pdf]

Tropical cyclones between 160°E and 120°W and north of 25°S are monitored by the Fiji Meteorological Service in Nadi. Those that move south of 25°S are monitored by the Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre in Wellington, New Zealand.

torm names

South Pacific tropical cyclones are usually assigned names by the RSMC in Nadi, or Fiji Meteorological Service.cite web|year=2007|title=Tropical Cyclone names|accessdate=2008-08-15|publisher=Met Office|url=http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/tropicalcyclone/names.html] As soon as a tropical depression becomes a tropical cyclone it is named by the warning centre having responsibility for it at that time. If a tropical depression becomes a tropical cyclone in the Wellington RSMC area of responsibility, MetService, in consultation with RSMC Nadi, will name the cyclone by using the next name from the list.cite web|year=1999|title=Tropical Cyclone Operational Plan for the South Pacific and South-East Indian Ocean|accessdate=2008-08-15|publisher=World Meteorological Organization|url=http://www.wmo.ch/pages/prog/www/Peng/tcp/documents/doc/Op-pln99.doc]
