The '''1997 Pacific typhoon season''' was a record-breaking season featuring 11 tropical cyclones reaching super typhoon intensity, tying the record with [[1965 Pacific typhoon season|1965]] with the most violent tropical cyclones globally. It has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1997, but most [[tropical cyclones]] tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between May and November.<ref>Gary Padgett. [http://www.typhoon2000.ph/garyp_mgtcs/may03sum.txt May 2003 Tropical Cyclone Summary.] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060925124215/http://www.typhoon2000.ph/garyp_mgtcs/may03sum.txt |date=September 25, 2006 }} Retrieved on 2006-08-26.</ref>  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 [[1997 Pacific hurricane season]]. Tropical Storms formed in the entire west Pacific basin were assigned a name by the [[Joint 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 the [[Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration]] or PAGASA. This can often result in the same storm having two names.

The [[Accumulated Cyclone Energy]] (ACE) index for the 1997 Pacific typhoon season in total is 570.4 units. Broadly speaking, ACE is a measure of the power of a tropical or subtropical storm multiplied by the length of time it existed. It is only calculated for full advisories on specific tropical and subtropical systems reaching or exceeding wind speeds of 39&nbsp;mph (63&nbsp;km/h).

The season was unusual in the number of super typhoons that occurred in the basin, with eleven typhoons reaching winds of at least 135&nbsp;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.

===Records===
When Severe Tropical Storm Peter made landfall in southern Japan on June&nbsp;27, it marked the first time that two tropical cyclones made landfall in mainland Japan during the month of June since reliable records began in 1951.<ref>{{cite web|author =Associated Press|publisher= Indian Express Newspapers |date=June 28, 1997|accessdate=June 16, 2009|title=Typhoon hits Japan|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/ie/daily/19970629/18050123.html}}</ref> According to the [[Joint Typhoon Warning Center]], eleven tropical cyclones attained super typhoon status, ten of which became Category 5 Super Typhoons, marking the highest number of Category 5 storms in a single season on record.

In early January, an area of convection developed along a near-[[equator]]ial [[trough (meteorology)|trough]] just west of the [[International Date Line]]. It tracked steadily westward, and remained disorganized for about week. On January 18, deep convection increased as a low-level circulation began to form, and at 0000 UTC on January 19 it developed into Tropical Depression 01W while located to the southwest of [[Guam]]. Based on satellite imagery estimates, the [[Joint Typhoon Warning Center]] upgraded it to Tropical Storm Hannah six hours after first forming. The deep convection quickly organized into well-defined [[tropical cyclone#Physical structure|cyclonic bands]], and early on January 20 Hannah attained its peak intensity of 60&nbsp;mph near the island of [[Yap]]. Increased southeasterly [[wind shear]] weakened the storm, leaving its dwindling convection situated along the northern portion of the circulation. Interaction with a large and powerful [[extratropical cyclone]] left the storm moving erratically, and on January 22 Hannah weakened to tropical depression status. Its motion turned to a steady southwestward motion, and on January 27 Hannah dissipated a short distance east of the [[Philippines|Philippine]] island of [[Mindanao]].<ref name="hannahatcr">{{cite web|author =Joint Typhoon Warning Center|year=1999|title=Tropical Storm Hannah (01W) ATCR|accessdate=2007-04-19|url=http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1997atcr/ch3/01ww.htm}}</ref>

Near the end of its duration, the [[Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration]] began issuing warnings on Hannah when was a tropical depression; the institution named the storm Tropical Depression Atring. Hannah was not considered a tropical storm by the [[Japan Meteorological Agency]].<ref name="jma"/> There were no reports of significant damage or injuries.<ref name="hannahatcr"/>

{{Main|Typhoon Isa}}
Isa developed from a disturbance in the [[monsoon trough]] near the [[Caroline Islands]] on April 12. It moved erratically at first, though after attaining tropical storm status it curved westward due to the [[subtropical ridge]] to its north. Isa very gradually intensified, and on April 20 the typhoon reached peak 1-min winds of 270&nbsp;km/h (165&nbsp;mph), as reported by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center; Japan Meteorological Agency reported maximum 10-min winds of 155&nbsp;km/h (100&nbsp;mph). After turning northward, it accelerated to the northeast, and merged with a larger [[extratropical cyclone]] on April 24.<ref name="jma"/><ref name="isatcr">{{cite web|author=Joint Typhoon Warning Center |year=1999 |title=Typhoon Isa (02W) ATCR |accessdate=2007-04-26 |url=http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1997atcr/ch3/02ww.htm |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110607013000/http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1997atcr/ch3/02ww.htm |archivedate=2011-06-07 }}</ref>

Early in its duration, Isa caused light rainfall and moderate winds on [[Pohnpei]]. Later, a stationary rainband from the typhoon dropped heavy precipitation on [[Guam]] during its dry season. Damage in the Guam [[National Weather Service]] area of responsibility totaled $1&nbsp;million (1997&nbsp;USD, $1.3&nbsp;million 2006&nbsp;USD), the majority of it from crop damage. No deaths were reported.<ref name="isacdc">{{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 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080522013440/http://www4.ncdc.noaa.gov/cgi-win/wwcgi.dll?wwevent~ShowEvent~315211 |archivedate=2008-05-22 }}</ref>

A low-level [[equator]]ial westerly wind system developed an area of convection on April 18, the same system that previously developed Typhoon Isa. It drifted west-northwestward, and on April 21 separated from the westerly wind system. At 0400 UTC on April 22, the [[Joint Typhoon Warning Center]] (JTWC) issued a [[Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert]] on the system, and two hours later the JTWC issued the first warning on Tropical Storm Jimmy about 1360&nbsp;km (845&nbsp;mi) southeast of [[Guam]].<ref name="jimmyatcr">{{cite web|author=Joint Typhoon Warning Center |year=1999 |title=Tropical Storm Jimmy (03W) ATCR |accessdate=2007-04-20 |url=http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1997atcr/ch3/03ww.htm |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110607014402/http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1997atcr/ch3/03ww.htm |archivedate=2011-06-07 }}</ref> Coinciding with its first warning, the [[Japan Meteorological Agency]] (JMA) classified it as a tropical depression.<ref name="jma">{{cite web|author =Japan Meteorological Agency|year=1997|title=1997 Western Pacific Best Track|accessdate=2013-06-24|url=http://www.jma.go.jp/jma/jma-eng/jma-center/rsmc-hp-pub-eg/Besttracks/bst1997.txt|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929102835/http://www.jma.go.jp/jma/jma-eng/jma-center/rsmc-hp-pub-eg/Besttracks/bst1997.txt|archivedate=2007-09-29}}</ref>

Jimmy continued northwestward through a break in the [[ridge (meteorology)|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&nbsp;mph on April 24.<ref name="jimmyatcr"/> Conversely, JMA assessed Jimmy as remaining a minimal tropical storm throughout its duration.<ref name="jma"/> After maintaining peak winds for about 18&nbsp;hours, to increased southwesterly winds aloft quickly weakened the storm, and late on April 25 JTWC issued its final advisory on Jimmy after its low-level circulation center became completely exposed from the deep convection. On April 26, Jimmy was absorbed by an approaching [[surface weather analysis|frontal trough]] over the open Pacific Ocean. The storm had little effects on land.<ref name="jimmyatcr"/>

A low-level [[equator]]ial trough developed an area of convection on May 4. The low strengthened as it became more organized over the next two days. Late on May 5, the JTWC issued a [[Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert|TCFA]]  and the system was declared Tropical Depression 04W shortly after. The depression slowly intensified and was upgraded to a Tropical Storm early on May 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 on May 10 and the remnant circulation dissipated the next day.<ref>http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1997atcr/pdf/wnp/04w.pdf</ref>

On May 23, a large area of convection grouped together to form a low pressure, over the [[Mariana Islands]]. It strengthened into a tropical depression on May 26, before intensifying into a category 1 typhoon 2 days later. Marie then reached its peak intensity on May 31, as a category 2 typhoon, before undergoing an [[Eyewall replacement cycle]]. The storm developed [[Eyewall replacement cycle#Secondary eyewall formation|double eyewalls]] during the process. On June 2, the system degenerated into an [[extratropical cyclone]].

In late May, an area of convection developed near the [[Marshall Islands]], and rapidly became a low pressure area. On June 1, the low pressure area organized into a tropical depression. Nestor intensified into a category 1 typhoon on June 7, as it started to affect the [[Mariana Islands]]. Nestor continued to intensify, and on June 10, Nestor reached its peak intensity as a category 5 super typhoon, as the storm began to affect the [[Northern Mariana Islands]]. At this time, Nestor began showing [[Annular hurricane|annular]] characteristics. Nestor began to weaken slowly, as typical annular typhoons do, while it developed an eye measuring 65 kilometers across. On June 15, Nestor transitioned into an [[extratropical cyclone]], as it weakened.

Tropical Depression 16W developed out of a weak tropical disturbance on August 13. The disturbance was relatively close to another disturbance which would eventually become Typhoon Yule. By August 17, the disturbance had developed sufficient convection to be declared a tropical depression. However, upon being classified a depression, it was already beginning to be influenced by the nearby Yule. 16W eventually was overcome by Yule and a merger of the two systems took place on August 19, leading to the dissipation of the depression.<ref>[http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1997atcr/pdf/wnp/15w16w.pdf 19.PDF<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

On August 25, a low pressure area developed in the South China sea, west of the [[Philippines]], associated with the dissipating convection of Tropical Storm Zita. The low pressure area then started to strengthen, and slowly became a Tropical Depression on August 28. The system failed to strengthen for a while, due to a much stronger system just east of Cass, [[1997 Pacific typhoon season#Typhoon Amber (Miling)|Typhoon Amber]]. However, Typhoon Amber soon started to move north, just a little farther from Cass, but was just enough for Cass to strengthen into a Tropical Storm. As the nearby Typhoon Amber started to make landfall over [[Taiwan]], a strong southern inflow from Typhoon Amber pulled Cass northwards, in an effect known as the [[Fujiwhara effect]]. As Typhoon Amber made landfall, and moved inland over [[East China|Eastern China]], Cass was pulled very close to Typhoon Amber, while Cass was maintaining Tropical Storm strength. This severely weakened the storm, as it made landfall on August 30. Cass was then absorbed by Typhoon Amber, shortly afterwards, in inland [[China]].

Tropical Storm Hank originated out of an area of low pressure over the South China Sea in late September. Minimal convection was associated with the system and only light winds were recorded. Over the following days, the system gradually organized and by October&nbsp;3, the JTWC issued a TCFA for the system. However, in post-storm analysis, it was found that Hank was already a tropical storm by this time. By the time the TCFA was issued, Hank reached its peak intensity with winds of 75&nbsp;km/h (45&nbsp;mph) before succumbing to strong wind shear. Late on October&nbsp;3, Hank weakened to a tropical depression and was initially thought to have made landfall; however, satellite analysis showed that the center did not cross land until October&nbsp;5, shortly before dissipating. There were no reports of damage in relation to the storm.<ref name="JTWCHank">{{cite web|publisher=Joint Typhoon Warning Center|year=1998|accessdate=August 30, 2009|title=Tropical Storm Hank (25W)|url=http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1997atcr/ch3/25ww.htm}}</ref>

Tropical Depression 26W developed out of an area of disturbed weather located near the [[Mariana Islands]] on September 29. While passing near [[Guam]], the disturbance was designated a tropical depression. Shortly after, the depression became disorganized as [[wind shear]] displaced the [[Atmospheric convection|convection]] associated with the storm. Over the next 24&nbsp;hours, the depression stalled in response to weak steering currents before a subtropical ridge developed to the north and caused the system to move quickly to the west. The low became separated from almost all of its convection on October 6 before being absorbed into a [[Weather front|frontal system]] the next day.<ref>http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1997atcr/pdf/wnp/26w.pdf</ref>

{{Main|Typhoon Ivan}}
Forming out of an area of disturbed weather on October&nbsp;13, Ivan gradually intensified into a typhoon as it tracked steadily to the west-northwest. On October&nbsp;15, the storm underwent rapid intensification and reached an intensity corresponding to Category 5 status on the Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale. Late on October&nbsp;17, Ivan reached its peak strength with winds of 295&nbsp;km/h (185&nbsp;mph) and a barometric pressure of 905&nbsp;hPa (mbar). Shortly thereafter, the typhoon began to weaken as it approached the Philippines. Ivan eventually made landfall in northern Luzon with winds of 220&nbsp;km/h (140&nbsp;mph) on October&nbsp;20 before weakening to a tropical storm the next day. The storm then curved northeastward and became extratropical on October&nbsp;25, dissipating the following day.<ref name="JMABT"/><ref name="JTWCIvanJoan">{{cite web|publisher=Joint Typhoon Warning Center|year=1998|accessdate=August 30, 2009|title=Super Typhoons Ivan (27W) and Joan (28W)|url=http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1997atcr/pdf/wnp/27w28w.pdf|format=[[PDF]]}}</ref> During its existence, Ivan was monitored by PAGASA and designated with the local name Narsing.<ref name="wmo905"/>

Although Ivan was a powerful storm at landfall, its effects were relatively minor compared to the storm's intensity; however, 14 people were killed during the storm and two others were listed as missing.

The tenth of eleven [[tropical cyclone]]s to attain super typhoon intensity in the western [[North Pacific]] during 1997, Keith formed at low latitudes in the [[Marshall Islands]]. It was one of ten TCs which formed east of [[160th meridian east|160°E]] and south of [[20th parallel north|20°N]]&nbsp;— within the "[[El Niño]]". Keith was a recurving TC which passed between the Islands of Rota and Tinian (only {{convert|50|nmi|km|abbr=on|disp=or}} apart) on the west-bound leg of its recurving track.  NEXRAD imagery from [[Guam]] indicated the eye wall cloud of Keith never touched land as it threaded the narrow channel between these two islands. As such, the [[Mariana Islands]] were spared the full force of Keith. Keith's compact wind and cloud structure were revealed by Guam's NEXRAD Equatorial westerly winds bounded by twin near-equatorial troughs preceded the formation of Keith and a [[Southern Hemisphere]] twin.<ref>Joint Typhoon Warning Center.

{{Main|Typhoon Paka}}
The final super typhoon of the year developed in the Central Pacific on November 28.  It moved westward, strengthening into a tropical storm before crossing the [[International Date Line]] on December 7.  Conditions were marginally favorable for development, and Paka remained a tropical storm until December 10, when it was able to become a typhoon.  Five days later, Paka reached Super Typhoon strength, the eleventh of the year.  The next day it crossed over [[Guam]], and on December 18, Paka reached a peak of 185&nbsp;mph winds.  After causing major damage across the smaller Western Pacific island groups, Paka rapidly weakened and dissipated on December 22.<ref>{{cite web|publisher=Joint Typhoon Warning Center |year=1998 |accessdate=September 1, 2009 |title=Super Typhoon Paka (05C) |url=http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1997atcr/ch3/05cw.htm |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110607033703/http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1997atcr/ch3/05cw.htm |archivedate=June 7, 2011 }}</ref>

Typhoon Paka first impacted the [[Marshall Islands]], where it dropped heavy rainfall and left $80&nbsp;million in damage (1997&nbsp;USD, $109&nbsp;million 2009&nbsp;USD). Later, it passed just north of [[Guam]], where strong winds destroyed about 1,500&nbsp;buildings and damaged 10,000&nbsp;more; 5,000&nbsp;people were left homeless, and the island experienced a complete power outage following the typhoon. Damage on the island totaled $500&nbsp;million (1997&nbsp;USD, $680&nbsp;million 2009&nbsp;USD), which warranted the [[List of retired Pacific hurricane names|retirement of its name]]. Paka also caused light damage in the [[Northern Mariana Islands]], and overall the typhoon caused no reported fatalities.<ref>{{cite web|author=Stuart Hinson|publisher=National Climatic Data Center|year=1998|accessdate=September 1, 2009|title=Guam Event Report: Typhoon Paka|url=http://www4.ncdc.noaa.gov/cgi-win/wwcgi.dll?wwevent~ShowEvent~309549|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101224212457/http://www4.ncdc.noaa.gov/cgi-win/wwcgi.dll?wwevent~ShowEvent~309549|archive-date=2010-12-24|url-status=dead}}</ref>

==Storm names==
During the season 29 named tropical cyclones developed in the Western Pacific and were named by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, when it was determined that they had become tropical storms. These names were contributed to a revised list which started in 1996.

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 [[1993 Pacific typhoon season|1993 season]]. PAGASA uses its own naming scheme that starts in the [[Filipino alphabet]], with names of Filipino female names ending with "ng" (A, B, K, D, etc.). Because PAGASA started a new naming scheme in 2001, therefore, this naming list was not used in the [[2001 Pacific typhoon season|2001 season]]. Names that were not assigned/going to use are marked in {{tcname unused}}.

==Season effects==
This table summarizes all the systems that developed within or moved into the North Pacific Ocean, to the west of the International Date Line during 1997. The tables also provide an overview of a systems intensity, duration, land areas affected and any deaths or damages associated with the system.
