Pacific typhoon seasons
1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003

The 2001 Pacific typhoon season has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 2001, 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 2001 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.

[edit] 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 criterion to designate tropical cyclone maximum sustained gusts. This difference generally results in JTWC maximum winds appearing higher than the maximum winds described by the JMA for the same cyclone.

[edit] Typhoon Chebi (Emong)

Typhoon (JMA)
Category 3 typhoon (SSHS)
Duration June 20 – June 24
Intensity 120 km/h (75 mph) (10-min),  965 mbar (hPa)

Tropical Depression 04W formed on June 9 near Palau where it moved westward and strengthened into Tropical Storm Chebi six hours later. Chebi then moved generally west-northwest and then to the northwest as the tropical storm passed north of the Philippines on June 21 and entered the Luzon Strait on June 23 as a Category 1 typhoon. Later on the 23rd Chebi reached a peak intensity of 85 knots (160 km/h, 100 mph) as the center of the storm was 75 miles (121 km) south of Taiwan. A trough forced Chebi west and northwest where it made landfall near Fuzhou City, China. Chebi then weakened and accelerated to the north then northeast, passing southeast of Shanghai before exiting back out to sea. The JMA and other weather centers stopped issuing advisories when the remnants of Chebi dissipated in the eastern Pacific.

Chebi killed 82 people, mostly in China, and left $422 million dollars (2001 USD), $457 million (2005 USD). Chebi's heavy rains and strong winds left nine people dead, 28 missing and $13 million (2001 USD) in damage in the Philippines. Four of the nine were from a Belizian freighter that sank during the storm.[2] The Penghu Islands, which took the brunt of the typhoon, suffered considerable damage as 102 fishing boats sank and ten thousand people were left without power. The storm also crippled ground and air traffic.[3] A rain laden typhoon, Chebi produced 100 millimeters of rain across Guangdong.[4] About 73 people were killed in China, most of them in the southeastern province of Fujian.[5] The storm also destroyed several thousand acres of crops, resulting in economic losses. In Ningde, about 321,400 houses were destroyed by the typhoon.[6] About 22 people were killed in Hangzhou when a landslide burst through a construction wall.[7]

[edit] Severe Tropical Storm Durian

Category 1 typhoon (SSHS)
Duration June 30 – July 2
Intensity 110 km/h (70 mph) (10-min),  970 mbar (hPa)

78 casualties and $446 million (2001 USD) in damage can be attributed to Typhoon Durian hitting southern China on July 1 as an 85 mph (137 km/h) typhoon. The name Durian was submitted by Thailand and refers to a Southeast Asian fruit of the same name.

[edit] Severe Tropical Storm Utor (Feria)

On July 29, 115 mph (185 km/h) Typhoon Toraji hit eastern Taiwan and continued westward to make landfall on southeast China on the July 30.

Torrential rainfall produced by the storm triggered flash flooding and landslides across Taiwan, killing 200 people and leaving NT$7.7 billion ($245 million USD) in damage.[8][9] At least 30 people were killed in a village located in Nantou County which was completely buried by mud and rocks. In the wake of the storm, Taiwan's Premier, Chang Chun-hsiung criticized the excessive development of Taiwan and lack of heedance of possible negative effects for the significant loss of life from Toraji. He also initiated a reforestation project to avoid future disasters of a similar scale.[10]

An area of thunderstorms formed late on the 19th about 100 miles (160 km) south of Pohnpei. By the 22nd it was south-southeast of Guam, still attempting to organize while it moved east-northeast. Moving disjointedly northward, by the 27th it developed into a tropical depression 250 miles (400 km) northwest of Wake Island, and by early the next day it had attained tropical storm strength. Continuing northward, it reached it maximum intensity of 45 kts/50 mph before losing organization on the 28th. Accelerating as it recurved well northwest of Midway Island, it became a nontropical low late on the 31st as it approached the International Dateline to the south of the Aleutians.[11]

Tropical storm (JMA)
Tropical storm (SSHS)
Duration August 30 – August 31
Intensity 65 km/h (40 mph) (10-min),  990 mbar (hPa)

Initially an area of thunderstorms formed west of Luzon late on August 26, possibly due to the remains of former Tropical Depression Jolina. Late on August 28 it formed into a tropical depression about 300 miles (480 km) south-southwest of Hong Kong. It moved west-northwest over northeastern Hainan late on August 29, before becoming a tropical storm 24 hours later. Early on August 31, the tropical storm began to drift north towards China. That evening, it struck Dongxing before weakening back into a tropical depression on September 1 and dissipating the following day. Excessive rains fell in mainland China, with locations in Changjiang county measuring up to 831.1 mm in the 3 day period ending late on August 31. Total economic losses in Hainan were near 1.367 billion yuan ($201.7 million USD). In all, 3680 houses were nearly destroyed, four died, and 3.5 million people were impacted by the weak tropical storm.[11]

[edit] Typhoon Danas

Category 3 typhoon (SSHS)
Duration September 4 – September 12
Intensity 155 km/h (100 mph) (10-min),  945 mbar (hPa)

On September 10, Danas spawned a tornado near the city of Ochiai, just outside Tokyo. Along its track, the tornado damaged roofs, downed trees and injured one person. Following an assessment of the damage, the Tokyo District Meteorological Observatory ranked it as an F1 on the Fujita scale. According to reliable records, this was the eleventh tornado to touch down in the Kanto region.[12] Throughout Japan, Danas was responsible for eight fatalities and injured 48. Damage from the storm amounted to 1.1 billion yen ($12.8 million USD).

Intensity 140 km/h (85 mph) (10-min),  960 mbar (hPa)
Main article: Typhoon Nari (2001)

On September 5, a tropical depression developed northeast of Taiwan. Weak currents, which were prevalent throughout its lifetime, caused it to drift to the northeast where it became a tropical storm on the 6th. Nari stalled near Okinawa, and became a typhoon on the 7th. Over the next 5 days, Nari executed a triple loop over open waters, reaching a peak of 115 mph (185 km/h) winds before weakening to a tropical storm on the 14th. It restrengthened to a typhoon, and as it continued southwestward, Nari reached 100 mph (160 km/h) winds before hitting northeastern Taiwan on the 16th. The storm drifted across the island, emerging into the South China Sea on the 18th as a tropical depression. It continued westward, and finally made landfall east of Hong Kong as a 65 mph (105 km/h) tropical storm on the 20th. Nari caused 92 casualties[13] and up to 50 inches (1,300 mm) of rain led to torrential flooding.

A tropical depression formed in the Philippine Sea on November 5. It moved westward, hitting the Philippines on the 6th. The depression strengthened over the archipelago, becoming a tropical storm on the 7th. Lingling continued to intensify, reaching a peak of 135 mph (217 km/h) winds on the 10th in the South China Sea. The next day, the typhoon hit central Vietnam as a 110 mph (180 km/h) typhoon, and dissipated on the 12th. Lingling, like most typhoons, brought torrential rains and flooding, resulting in 171 deaths in the Philippines (with 118 missing) and 18 deaths in Vietnam.

[edit] Typhoon Faxai

Typhoon (JMA)
Category 5 super typhoon (SSHS)
Duration December 16 – December 26
Intensity 195 km/h (120 mph) (10-min),  915 mbar (hPa)

On December 13, a tropical depression formed in the open waters of the West Pacific. It drifted for 5 days, slowly organizing into a tropical storm on the 15th. As Faxai moved more quickly to the northwest, its wind speeds increased, becoming a typhoon on the 20th and rapidly intensifying to a peak of 180 mph (290 km/h) on the 23rd. Cooler waters and upper level shear weakened it until it became extratropical on the 25th. Faxai, the strongest storm of the year, was one of the most intense December typhoons ever recorded. Fortunately, it never approached land.

Initially Faxai was classified as part of Tropical Depression 31W, but post-analysis considers the early part of Faxai's life a separate storm. As such, Faxai was classified as 33W in post-analysis.

Two people were killed as a result of the storm and damage across several islands amounted to roughly $1 million.

[edit] Tropical Storm Vamei

Tropical storm (JMA)
Category 1 typhoon (SSHS)
Duration December 27 – December 29
Intensity 85 km/h (50 mph) (10-min),  1006 mbar (hPa)
Main article: Tropical Storm Vamei

Tropical Depression 32W formed 200 nautical miles (370 km) east of Singapore at 1200 UTC (2000 SGT) on December 26. It is extremely unusual to see tropical development this close to the equator. The initial position of 1.4° N means this storm formed only 85 nautical miles (157 km) north of the equator. On December 27 it was upgraded to Tropical Storm Vamei, and shortly thereafter it made landfall in Malaysia. Emerging into the Indian Ocean on December 29 as a Tropical Depression, it briefly re-strengthened before dissipating on January 1. The name Vamei was retired in 2004 and replaced with Peipah because of the unique formation and track of this storm.

[edit] Storm names

Western North Pacific tropical cyclones are named by the RSMC Tokyo-Typhoon Center of the Japan Meteorological Agency. Names are selected from the following sequential list; 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 2001 was named Cimaron and the final one was named Vamei.

This is the only time that the name "Vipa" was used. Its spelling was corrected to "Wipha" in 2002.[14]

[edit] Philippines

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. Starting in 2001, new sets of names are implemented.The names not retired from this list will be used again in the 2005 season. Names that were not assigned are marked in gray.
