List of Pacific hurricanes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Miss Madeline (talk | contribs) at 00:55, 3 January 2008 (Extreme latitudes and longitudes: link/sentence change). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This is a list of notable Pacific hurricanes, subdivided by reason for notability. It includes lists and rankings of Pacific hurricanes by different characteristics, statistics, and impacts. Characteristics include extremes of location, or formations outside of the normal season. Statistics include central pressure levels, wind speed, intensity, or rainfall totals. Impacts include how they affected people, such as the amount of damage or the number of deaths.

Hurricane Pauline devastated parts of Mexico, killing over 200

Retired names

Additionally, Adolph and Israel were removed from the list of names during and after the 2001 season due to political sensitivities. Knut was removed from the list in 1988 for unknown reasons. Adele and Iva were also removed in 1970 and 1988 respectively for unknown reasons. Hazel was replaced in 1965.[1]

Costliest Eastern Pacific hurricanes adjusted to 2005 USD

Damage from Hurricane Iniki

All of these storms caused at least 50 million USD (adjusted to 2005) in damage. Iniki and Iwa are central Pacific systems; the remainder are from eastern Pacific proper.

$3000 Hurricane Iniki 1992 Hawaii[17]
$549 Hurricane Kathleen 1976 Mexico, California, Arizona[18]
$507 Hurricane Iwa 1982 Hawaii[19]
$300 Lidia & Norma (see below) 1981 Mexico, Texas[20][21]
$190 Hurricane Bridget 1971 Mexico[22]
$118 Hurricane Nora 1997 Mexico, California, Arizona[23]
$110 Hurricane Lane 2006 Mexico[24]
$53-107 Hurricane Kenna 2002 Mexico[25]
$61 Hurricane John 2006 Mexico[26]
$52 Hurricane Calvin 1993 Mexico[27]
$51 Unnamed 1943 Mexico[15]

Tropical Storm Lidia and Hurricane Norma hit Mexico within a week of each other in 1981. Conflated together, they caused $84 million (198  USD) in damage. Hence it is possible that Lidia is on the list if it caused most of that damage total.[20] Hurricane Norma is definitely on the most-damaging list since its remnants caused $50 million in damage in Texas.[21]

Seasonal activity

In the central Pacific, the seasons with the most tropical cyclones are 1992 and 1994, each with 11 cyclones. A season without cyclones has happened a few times since 1966, most recently in 1979.[28]

Lowest

Before 1971 and especially 1966, data in this basin is extremely unreliable. The geostationary satellite era began in 1966,[29] and that year is often considered the first year of reliable tropical records.[30] Intensity estimates are most reliable starting in the 1971 season. A few years later, the Dvorak technique came into use. Those two things make intensity estimates more reliable starting in that year.[30] For these reasons, seasons prior to 1971 are not included.

Off-season storms (Central)

Hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30.[31]

Greatest Duration

This lists all Pacific hurricanes that existed as tropical cyclones while in the Pacific Ocean east of the dateline for more than two weeks continuously. Hurricanes John and Dora spent some time in the west Pacific before dissipating. John spent eleven days west of the dateline; if that time was included John would have existed for a total of 30 days and 18 hours, while including Dora's time in the west Pacific would mean that it existed for exactly 18 days.[34] One Atlantic hurricane, Hurricane Joan, crossed into this basin and was renamed Miriam,[38] giving it a total lifespan of 22 days,[39] but not all of that was in the Pacific. 1993's Greg formed from the remnants of 1993's Tropical Storm Bret.[38] Its time as an Atlantic system is excluded.

All of these systems except Trudy, Olaf, and Connie existed in both the east and central Pacific, and all except Olaf were hurricanes. Hurricane Trudy of 1990 is thus the longest lived eastern Pacific hurricane to stay in the eastern Pacific. Tropical Storm Olaf of 1997 is hence the longest-lived eastern Pacific tropical cyclone not to reach hurricane intensity.[34]

No known tropical cyclone forming in the central north Pacific lasted for longer than 14 days without crossing into another basin.[34] The tropical cyclone forming in the central Pacific that spent the most time there was 1988's Hurricane Uleki at 11.5 days from formation to crossing the dateline.[40]

Before the weather satellite era began, the lifespans of many Pacific hurricanes may be underestimated.[30]

Category 5s


Becoming a Category 5 (sustained windspeeds greater than 155 mph) is achieved regularly in the Western Pacific but is rare in the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific. Since 1959, only 12 Pacific hurricanes are known to have reached Category 5 and only one made landfall while at this intensity. Category 5 hurricanes in the Eastern Pacific generally form only during El Niño years, causing a clumping of Category 5 storms in single years. Only twice, in 1973 and 2006, did a lone Category 5 form. Interestingly, Hurricane Ava, became a Category 5 hurricane during a La Niña year, when the Eastern Pacific is usually quiet.

It is possible that additional Category 5's formed before the satellite era began, but were missed because no one was around to report them.

The Central Pacific Hurricane Center and the National Hurricane Center disagree on the windspeeds of Emilia. The CPHC considers Emilia to have had a peak windspeed of 140 knots, which qualifies it as a Category 5.[41] The NHC contradicts. In both its own report on Emilia[42] and in its official "best track" file[34] only gives Emilia a maximum sustained wind of 135 knots, which is a high-end Category 4.

Listed by intensity

Hurricane Linda, the most intense Pacific hurricane on record

The apparent increase in recent seasons is spurious; it is due to better estimation and measurement, not an increase in intense storms. That is, until 1988, Pacific hurricanes generally did not have their central pressures measured or estimated from satellite imagery.

Crossover storms

Eastern Pacific to Atlantic

This includes only systems which stayed a tropical cyclone during the passage or that maintained a circulation during the crossover.

Season Storm (Pacific) Storm (Atlantic)
1842 Unnamed Unnamed[51]
1902 Unnamed tropical depression Unnamed[52]
1923 Unnamed Unnamed[53]
1949 Unnamed Unnamed[38]
1961 Simone Inga (see below)[54]
1965 Unnamed tropical depression Unnamed[55]
1989 Cosme Allison[38]

In addition to those, there are apparently two additional ones. One existed before 1856 and made it to the Gulf of Mexico.[56] Another Pacific tropical cyclone crossed over central Mexico and also made it to the Gulf sometime after September 9, 1924.[56]

With reanalysis, doubt has arisen over whether Tropical Storm Simone, the renamed Hurricane Hattie, recrossed the North American continent and actually became Tropical Storm Inga.[54]

It used to be that when a Pacific named storm crossed North America and made it to the Atlantic (or vice versa), it would receive the next name on the respective basin's list. This policy has since been changed to a tropical cyclone keeping its name if it remains a tropical cyclone during the entire passage. Only if it dissipates and then re-forms does it get renamed.[57]

Eastern Pacific to Western Pacific

2003's Hurricane Jimena existed in all three north Pacific tropical cyclone basins

Tropical cyclones passing 140°W are routine events and not notable; the last year that did not happen was 1996.[58] However, very few eastern Pacific proper cyclones that enter the central Pacific make it to the dateline.

Tropical Storm Upana and Tropical Storm Chanchu are an unofficial dateline crosser. The official policy for Pacific Ocean tropical cyclones is that they keep their name when they cross basin boundaries. Hence, Tropical Storm Upana and Tropical Storm Chanchu are not "officially" the same cyclone; however, a number of meteorologists believe that they are the same system, with Upana's remnants crossing the dateline and reforming in the western Pacific, explaining the renaming.[76]

Central Pacific to eastern Pacific

Tropical cyclones crossing from the eastern Pacific to the central Pacific are routine; ones going the other way aren't. That event has happened twice.

In addition, an unofficial cyclone formed on October 30, 2006 in the central Pacific subtropics. It eventually developed an eye-like structure[77] Its track data indicates that it crossed from the central to the east Pacific because it formed at longitude 149°W and dissipated at 135°W.[78] NASA, which is not a meteorological organization, called this system a subtropical cyclone, and the Naval Research Laboratory Monterey had enough interest in it to call it 91C.[77] The system has also been called extratropical.[79] This cyclone is unofficial because it is not included in the seasonal reports of either Regional Specialized Meteorological Center.[75][80]

Extreme latitudes and longitudes

The unnamed hurricane of 1975

The easternmost formation of any eastern Pacific tropical cyclone is 1993's Hurricane Greg, which started out as Tropical Storm Bret in the Atlantic and formed at 40°W.[39] If systems that were not continuously a tropical cyclone are excluded, the easternmost east Pacific tropical cyclone is 1972's Hurricane Olivia, which was originally the Atlantic's Hurricane Irene, which formed at 48°W.[39] Excluding cyclones that crossed in from the Atlantic, the easternmost formation in the eastern north Pacific is 1970's Hurricane Francesca, which formed slightly west of 87°W.[34]

The westernmost formation is of Tropical Depression 17W, which formed west of 177°E, before crossing the dateline.[94] Excluding western Pacific systems that cross the dateline, the westernmost formation is Tropical Storm Moke, which formed at 178°W.[34]

The southernmost formation is of Tropical Depression One-C, which later became Hurricane Ekeka. One-C formed at 5°N.[34]

The northernmost formation is Tropical Storm Wene, which formed in the western Pacific at 32°N before crossing the dateline.[95] Excluding dateline crossers, the northernmost formation is of an Unnamed Hurricane in the 1975 season, which formed at 31°N.[34] Both of these latitudes are south of where that unofficial cyclone, the 2006 central Pacific cyclone formed, which was 36°N.[78]

The easternmost longitude a northeastern Pacific tropical cyclone has reached is 84°W. That was the longitude where an unnamed tropical depression went extratropical after crossing into the Atlantic and becoming a tropical storm.[39] Excluding systems that cross into the Atlantic, the easternmost longitude attained by a tropical cyclone in the Pacific Ocean was slightly east of 87°W, by Tropical Depression Adrian.[34]

The westernmost longitude a northeastern Pacific tropical cyclone has attained is 130°E, by Typhoon Oliwa after it crossed the dateline. If it is required that eastern Pacific tropical cyclones stay in the eastern Pacific, the westernmost a tropical cyclone has reached is 179°W, by Hurricane Dot.[34]

The southernmost an eastern north Pacific tropical cyclone has reached is 4°N, by the pre-Ekeka depression.[34]

The northernmost tropical cyclone in the eastern north Pacific is the unnamed hurricane of 1975. It ceased being a tropical cyclone at 54°N.[34]

Named named storms per month

Before 1971 and especially 1966, data in this basin is extremely unreliable. The geostationary satellite era began in 1966,[29] and that year is often considered the first year of reliable tropical records.[30] Intensity estimates are more reliable starting in the 1971 season. A few years later, the Dvorak technique came into use. Those two make intensity estimates more reliable starting in that year.[30] For these reasons, seasons before 1971 are not included in the lowest column.

This excludes cyclones that crossed in from other basins.

Only the official "Best track" records are used for monthly totaling. This excludes all systems before 1949.

This includes all tropical cyclones of tropical storm intensity or higher. A tropical cyclone becomes a tropical storm and is named once it acquires gale-force (35 kt) winds.[96]

These only include systems for which their wind speed is known at the time. Hence, although it certainly is the earliest-forming-in-a-season tropical cyclone in the eastern Pacific proper, the February 1922 hurricane that hassled a ship while it was "coming up the coast" cannot be placed here as its wind speed is not known.[32]

Naming

Hurricane Iwa, the fourth system to receive a central Pacific name in 1982

Naming of tropical cyclones in the eastern north Pacific began in the 1960 season. That year, four lists of names were created. The plan was to proceed in a manner similar to that of the western Pacific; that is, the name of the first storm in one season would be the next unused one from the same list, and when the bottom of one list was reached the next list was started. This scheme was abandoned in 1965 and next year, the lists started being recycled on a four-year rotation, starting with the A name each year.[119] That same general scheme remains in use today, although the names and lists are different.

On average, the eastern north Pacific sees an average of sixteen named storms per year.[120] This would reach the "P" name.

Due to the naming methods used before that season, the records start at 1966. The letters begin at "S" (the average season + 2).

† A cyclone was operationally named Simone, but was downgraded to a tropical depression after the season.[119]

At the time, the name lists only went to the letter "W", so the 1983 season is the first to exhaust its list.[121]

Due to this season's activity, the list threatened to be exhausted, so names beginning with "X", "Y", and "Z" were added during the season. Sometime after this, an alternate set of names starting with these letters was added to the lists for even numbered years so to retain parity.[121]

In the 1950's, tropical cyclones in the central north Pacific were given Hawaiian or names "borrowed" from the west Pacific's list, or went unnamed, in a generally ad hoc manner. Except for a one system,[122], tropical cyclones forming in the central Pacific went unnamed in the 1960's. From around 1970 until no later than 1982, central Pacific cyclones were given names and numbers from the list used for the western Pacific. Since 1982, four lists of Hawaiian names have been used.[119]
