Tropical cyclones in 2002

December 15, 2023

Tropical cyclones in 2002 were spread out across seven different areas called basins. To date, 123 tropical cyclones formed in 2002. 80 tropical cyclones had been named by either a Regional Specialized Meteorological Center (RSMC) or a Tropical Cyclone Warning Center (TCWC). The strongest system was Cyclone Zoe, with a central pressure of 890 hectopascals (26 inHg). Zoe was also the second-most intense system before striking Fiji. The costliest and deadliest tropical cyclone of the year was Typhoon Rusa, killing 233 in South Korea and causing $4.2 billion (2002 USD) in damages. 26 Category 3 tropical cyclones, including eight Category 5 tropical cyclones formed in 2002. The accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) index for the 2002 (seven basins combined), as calculated by Colorado State University was 812 units.

In the North Atlantic basin, the remnants of Bertha dump heavy rainfall in Louisiana and Mississippi while a tropical depression formed off the North Carolina coast on August 5. The said tropical depression would eventually become Tropical Storm Cristobal. Meanwhile on the Western Pacific basin, both typhoons Fengshen (north) and Fung-wong (south) were undergoing the Fujiwhara effect after interacting with each other on July 25.

Tropical cyclone activity in each basin is under the authority of an RSMC. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is responsible for tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic and East Pacific. The Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC) is responsible for tropical cyclones in the Central Pacific. Both the NHC and CPHC are subdivisions of the National Weather Service. Activity in the West Pacific is monitored by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). Systems in the North Indian Ocean are monitored by the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The Météo-France located in Réunion (MFR) monitors tropical activity in the South-West Indian Ocean. The Australian region is monitored by five TCWCs that are under the coordination of the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM). Similarly, the South Pacific is monitored by both the Fiji Meteorological Service (FMS) and the Meteorological Service of New Zealand Limited. Other, unofficial agencies that provide additional guidance in tropical cyclone monitoring include the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC).

Global atmospheric and hydrological conditions edit

During most of 2002, El Niño existed.[1][2] This negatively impacted activity in the Atlantic, but the Western Pacific was above average as a result.[1]

North Atlantic Ocean edit

Main article: 2002 Atlantic hurricane season
 
2002 Atlantic hurricane season summary map

The season produced fourteen tropical cyclones, of which twelve developed into named storms; four became hurricanes, and two attained major hurricane status. While the season's first cyclone did not develop until July 14, activity quickly picked up: eight storms developed in the month of September. It ended early however, with no tropical storms forming after October 6—a rare occurrence caused partly by El Niño conditions. The most intense hurricane of the season was Hurricane Isidore with a minimum central pressure of 934 mbar, although Hurricane Lili attained higher winds and peaked at Category 4 whereas Isidore only reached Category 3.

The season was less destructive than normal, causing an estimated $2.47 billion (2002 USD) in property damage and 23 fatalities. Most destruction was due to Isidore, which caused about $1.28 billion (2002 USD) in damage and killed seven people in the Yucatán Peninsula and later the United States, and Hurricane Lili, which caused $1.16 billion (2002 USD) in damage and 15 deaths as it crossed the Caribbean Sea and eventually made landfall in Louisiana.

Eastern Pacific Ocean edit

The season was slightly above average as it saw three tropical cyclones reach Category 5 intensity on the Saffir–Simpson scale, tied for the most in a season with 1994 and 2018. The strongest storm this year was Hurricane Kenna, which reached Category 5 on the Saffir–Simpson scale. It made landfall near Puerto Vallarta, located in the Mexican state of Jalisco, on October 25. Elsewhere, Tropical Storm Julio made landfall in Mexico, and Tropical Storm Boris dumped torrential rain along the Mexican coast, despite remaining offshore.

Other storms were individually unusual. Hurricanes Elida and Hernan also reached Category 5 intensity, but neither caused any damage. Hurricane Fausto had no effect on land, but it regenerated into a weak tropical storm at an abnormally high latitude.

Western Pacific Ocean edit

Main article: 2002 Pacific typhoon season
 
2002 Pacific typhoon season summary map

The season was slightly above average with many tropical cyclones affecting Japan and China. Every month had tropical activity, with most storms forming from July through October. Overall, there were 44 tropical depressions declared officially or unofficially, of which 26 became named storms; of those, there were 15 typhoons, which is the equivalent of a minimal hurricane, while 8 of the 15 typhoon intensified into super typhoons unofficially by the JTWC. The season began early with the first storm, Tapah, developing on January 10, east of the Philippines. Two months later, Typhoon Mitag became the first super typhoon [nb 1] ever to be recorded in March. In June, Typhoon Chataan dropped heavy rainfall in the Federated States of Micronesia, killing 48 people and becoming the deadliest natural disaster in the state of Chuuk. Chataan later left heavy damage in Guam before striking Japan. In August, Typhoon Rusa became the deadliest typhoon in South Korea in 43 years, causing 238 deaths and $4.2 billion in damage.[nb 2] Typhoon Higos in October was the fifth strongest typhoon to strike Tokyo since World War II. The final typhoon of the season was Typhoon Pongsona, which was one of the costliest storms on record in Guam; it did damage worth $700 million on the island before dissipating on December 11.

The season began early, but did not become active until June, when six storms passed near or over Japan after a ridge weakened.[4] Nine storms developed in July, many of which influenced the monsoon trough over the Philippines to produce heavy rainfall and deadly flooding.[5] The flooding was worst in Luzon, where 85 people were killed. The series of storms caused the widespread closure of schools and offices. Many roads were damaged, and the floods left about $1.8 million (₱94.2 million PHP)[nb 3] in crop damage, largely to rice and corn.[6] Overall damage from the series of storms was estimated at $10.3 million (₱522 million PHP).[7][nb 3] From June to September, heavy rainfall affected large portions of China, resulting in devastating flooding that killed over 1,500 people and left $8.2 billion (¥68 billion CNY) in damage.[9][nb 4] During this time, Tropical Storm Kammuri struck southern China with a large area of rainfall that damaged or destroyed 245,000 houses. There were 153 deaths related to the storm, mostly inland in Hunan,[10] and damage totaled $322 million (¥2.665 billion CNY).[11][nb 4] Activity shifted farther to the east after September, with Typhoon Higos striking Japan in October and Typhoon Pongsona hitting Guam in December.[4]

During most of the year, sea surface temperatures were above normal near the equator, and were highest around 160° E from January to July, and in November. Areas of convection developed farther east than usual, causing many storms to develop east of 150° E. The average point of formation was 145.9° E, the easternmost point since 1951. Partially as a result, no tropical storms made landfall in the Philippines for the first time since 1951, according to the JMA. Two storms – Ele and Huko – entered the basin from the Central Pacific, east of the International Date Line. Overall, there were 26 named storms in the basin in 2002, which was slightly below the norm of 26.7. A total of 15 of the 26 storms became typhoons, a slightly higher than normal proportion.[4]

North Indian Ocean edit

Main article: 2002 North Indian Ocean cyclone season

The season was below average, with only seven tropical cyclones, four cyclonic storms, and one severe cyclonic storm.[12] The first storm, in the Arabian Sea, formed on May 6 from a low-pressure area.[12] It went on to strengthen into a weak cyclonic storm, being designated ARB 01, and make landfall in Oman four days later, causing intense damage. ARB 01 simultaneously dissipated.[12] The rest of May featured two tropical depressions. The first, according to the JTWC, reached tropical storm-equivalent strength[13] and made landfall in Myanmar.[12] The second was recognized only by the Thailand Meteorological Department and was not given a number.[14] There was no activity in June, July, August, or September, the first instance of such in the history of the IMD.[15] Then, on October 22, Depression BOB 02 formed. It did not intensify and dissipated two days later.[12] No storms formed again until BOB 03 on November 10. This storm strengthened into a severe cyclonic storm, before making landfall in West Bengal two days later and dissipating. Like all the other storms in the season, BOB 03 failed to reach hurricane strength.[12] Two more cyclonic storms formed in the Bay of Bengal. BOB 04 was in late November and did not affect land.[12] BOB 05 formed very far south on December 21, scraped Sri Lanka, and dissipated in the open bay.[12]

South Pacific Ocean edit

2001–02 edit

Main article: 2001–02 South Pacific cyclone season

2002 began with two storms active in the basin: Severe Tropical Cyclone Waka and Tropical Depression 05F. Waka, at the time, was a Category 4 severe tropical cyclone near Niue.[16] Waka dissipated on January 2, and nothing formed but tropical depressions until Severe Tropical Cyclone Claudia entered the basin on February 12. Claudia rapidly weakened and dissipated two days later.[16][17] The next non-tropical depression also crossed over, Des, on March 5.[16] Due to unfavorable conditions, Des also dissipated.[18] Following Des's dissipation, four official and one unofficial tropical depression formed. The season ended on April 22.[16]

The 2001–02 season was one of the least active on record.[19]

2002–03 edit

Main article: 2002–03 South Pacific cyclone season

The season began very early, starting with Tropical Depression 17F on July 3.[20] After that, however, the season was quiet, with one tropical depression forming in mid October. By November, a tropical cyclone, Yolande had formed, as well as another tropical depression.[20] In December, activity sped up, with Cyclone Zoe, a Category 5 severe tropical cyclone, forming.[20] There were more tropical cyclones, but they were in 2003.

With seven severe tropical cyclones in total, the 2002–03 season was one of the most active ever recorded.[21]

Australian region edit

2001–02 edit

Main article: 2001–02 Australian region cyclone season

On 1 January 2002, Tropical Cyclone Bernie had just formed near Northern Territory.[22] Bernie made landfall in Northern Territory four days later, causing minor damages, and then dissipated.[22] Then, on 2 February, Tropical Cyclone Chris formed. It rapidly intensified into a Category 5 severe tropical cyclone.[23] On 6 February, Chris made landfall in Western Australia,[24] and dissipated later in the day. Chris caused 12 deaths and some damage.[23][25] Five days later, Tropical Cyclone Claudia formed, and dissipated without affecting land.[25] After another tropical low, Tropical Cyclone Des formed on 4 March near Papua New Guinea.[18] Three days later, Des crossed over to the South Pacific.[18]

After Des, the season was quiet until a tropical cyclone was named Dianne on 7 April.[26] Dianne passed close to the Cocos Islands, intensified into a Category 3 tropical cyclone, and moved westward into the South-West Indian Ocean on 11 April.[27] Simultaneously with Dianne, Tropical Cyclone Bonnie was forming.[26] On 11 April, Bonnie moved over Timor and Java and caused some damage, killing 19 people.[26][28] In early May, Tropical Low Errol formed.[27] On 26 May, Tropical Cyclone Upia, the season's last storm, formed near Papua New Guinea and was named by TCWC Port Moresby.[14] It crossed Budibudi Island and caused severe damage there. Once Upia dissipated on 28 May, the season was over.[14][27]

The 2001–02 season was a near-normal tropical cyclone season.[27]

2002–03 edit

Main article: 2002–03 Australian region cyclone season

In 2002, this season was very inactive. According to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, the first tropical cyclone of the year, Tropical Depression 07S formed on 27 December.[29] It did not strengthen, and dissipated on 3 January 2003. It was not recognised by the BoM.[30]

The season was more active in 2003; for more information see Tropical cyclones in 2003.

Southwest Indian Ocean edit

2001–02 edit

Main article: 2001–02 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season

The 2001–02 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season was very active from its start.[31] The 2002 half of the season began with Tropical Storm Cyprien, which made landfall in western Madagascar and dissipated on 3 January.[32] Next was Intense Tropical Cyclone Dina, which caused record flooding in Mauritius and Reunion. Approximately fifteen people died in the storm.[33] Towards the end of January, Tropical Cyclone Eddy formed, but dissipated on 30 January without affecting land.[34] On the day that Eddy dissipated,[31] a tropical low crossed into the basin and eventually became Intense Tropical Cyclone Francesca.[31] Francesca moved southward, and in the open ocean, dissipated on 11 February.[35] On 5 February, a tropical disturbance, classified as 09, formed in the Mozambique Channel, and dissipated the very next day.[31]

In mid-February, a tropical depression formed over Madagascar. Moving east, it strengthened into Intense Tropical Cyclone Guillaume. On 18 February, Guillaume moved to the south and affected Mauritius. In the following days, Guillaume deteriorated due to wind shear, and dissipated on 23 February.[36]

Notes edit

  1. ^ The sum of the number of systems and fatalities in each basin will not equal the number shown as the total. This is because when systems move between basins, it creates a discrepancy in the actual number of systems and fatalities.
  2. ^ This includes crossovers from the basin where a tropical cyclone was first formed on into another basin.
  1. ^ A super typhoon is an unofficial category used by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) for a typhoon with winds of at least 240 km/h (150 mph).[3]
  2. ^ All damage totals are valued as of 2002 and in United States dollars, unless otherwise noted.
  3. ^ a b The total was originally reported in Philippine pesos. Total converted via the Oanda Corporation website.[8]
  4. ^ a b The total was originally reported in Chinese renminbi. Total converted via the Oanda Corporation website.[8]

summary editNorth Atlantic Ocean edit Main article 2002 Atlantic hurricane season nbsp 2002 Atlantic hurricane season summary mapThe season produced fourteen tropical cyclones of which twelve developed into named storms four became hurricanes and two attained major hurricane status While the season s first cyclone did not develop until July 14 activity quickly picked up eight storms developed in the month of September It ended early however with no tropical storms forming after October 6 a rare occurrence caused partly by El Nino conditions The most intense hurricane of the season was Hurricane Isidore with a minimum central pressure of 934 mbar although Hurricane Lili attained higher winds and peaked at Category 4 whereas Isidore only reached Category 3 The season was less destructive than normal causing an estimated 2 47 billion 2002 USD in property damage and 23 fatalities Most destruction was due to Isidore which caused about 1 28 billion 2002 USD in damage and killed seven people in the Yucatan Peninsula and later the United States and Hurricane Lili which caused 1 16 billion 2002 USD in damage and 15 deaths as it crossed the Caribbean Sea and eventually made landfall in Louisiana Eastern Pacific Ocean edit Main article 2002 Pacific hurricane season nbsp 2002 Pacific hurricane season summary mapThe season was slightly above average as it saw three tropical cyclones reach Category 5 intensity on the Saffir Simpson scale tied for the most in a season with 1994 and 2018 The strongest storm this year was Hurricane Kenna which reached Category 5 on the Saffir Simpson scale It made landfall near Puerto Vallarta located in the Mexican state of Jalisco on October 25 Elsewhere Tropical Storm Julio made landfall in Mexico and Tropical Storm Boris dumped torrential rain along the Mexican coast despite remaining offshore Other storms were individually unusual Hurricanes Elida and Hernan also reached Category 5 intensity but neither caused any damage Hurricane Fausto had no effect on land but it regenerated into a weak tropical storm at an abnormally high latitude Western Pacific Ocean edit Main article 2002 Pacific typhoon season nbsp 2002 Pacific typhoon season summary mapThe season was slightly above average with many tropical cyclones affecting Japan and China Every month had tropical activity with most storms forming from July through October Overall there were 44 tropical depressions declared officially or unofficially of which 26 became named storms of those there were 15 typhoons which is the equivalent of a minimal hurricane while 8 of the 15 typhoon intensified into super typhoons unofficially by the JTWC The season began early with the first storm Tapah developing on January 10 east of the Philippines Two months later Typhoon Mitag became the first super typhoon nb 1 ever to be recorded in March In June Typhoon Chataan dropped heavy rainfall in the Federated States of Micronesia killing 48 people and becoming the deadliest natural disaster in the state of Chuuk Chataan later left heavy damage in Guam before striking Japan In August Typhoon Rusa became the deadliest typhoon in South Korea in 43 years causing 238 deaths and 4 2 billion in damage nb 2 Typhoon Higos in October was the fifth strongest typhoon to strike Tokyo since World War II The final typhoon of the season was Typhoon Pongsona which was one of the costliest storms on record in Guam it did damage worth 700 million on the island before dissipating on December 11 The season began early but did not become active until June when six storms passed near or over Japan after a ridge weakened 4 Nine storms developed in July many of which influenced the monsoon trough over the Philippines to produce heavy rainfall and deadly flooding 5 The flooding was worst in Luzon where 85 people were killed The series of storms caused the widespread closure of schools and offices Many roads were damaged and the floods left about 1 8 million 94 2 million PHP nb 3 in crop damage largely to rice and corn 6 Overall damage from the series of storms was estimated at 10 3 million 522 million PHP 7 nb 3 From June to September heavy rainfall affected large portions of China resulting in devastating flooding that killed over 1 500 people and left 8 2 billion 68 billion CNY in damage 9 nb 4 During this time Tropical Storm Kammuri struck southern China with a large area of rainfall that damaged or destroyed 245 000 houses There were 153 deaths related to the storm mostly inland in Hunan 10 and damage totaled 322 million 2 665 billion CNY 11 nb 4 Activity shifted farther to the east after September with Typhoon Higos striking Japan in October and Typhoon Pongsona hitting Guam in December 4 During most of the year sea surface temperatures were above normal near the equator and were highest around 160 E from January to July and in November Areas of convection developed farther east than usual causing many storms to develop east of 150 E The average point of formation was 145 9 E the easternmost point since 1951 Partially as a result no tropical storms made landfall in the Philippines for the first time since 1951 according to the JMA Two storms Ele and Huko entered the basin from the Central Pacific east of the International Date Line Overall there were 26 named storms in the basin in 2002 which was slightly below the norm of 26 7 A total of 15 of the 26 storms became typhoons a slightly higher than normal proportion 4 North Indian Ocean edit nbsp 2002 North Indian Ocean cyclone season summary

Arabian Sea formed on May 6 from a low pressure area 12 It went on to strengthen into a weak cyclonic storm being designated ARB 01 and make landfall in Oman four days later causing intense damage ARB 01 simultaneously dissipated 12 The rest of May featured two tropical depressions The first according to the JTWC reached tropical storm equivalent strength 13 and made landfall in Myanmar 12 The second was recognized only by the Thailand Meteorological Department and was not given a number 14 There was no activity in June July August or September the first instance of such in the history of the IMD 15 Then on October 22 Depression BOB 02 formed It did not intensify and dissipated two days later 12 No storms formed again until BOB 03 on November 10 This storm strengthened into a severe cyclonic storm before making landfall in West Bengal two days later and dissipating Like all the other storms in the season BOB 03 failed to reach hurricane strength 12 Two more cyclonic storms formed
