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, and was the ninth and last consecutive year of above-average [[tropical cyclone]] activity that started in [[1989 Pacific typhoon season|1989]]. Its extremely high activity produced a total of 570 ACE index, which is the highest ever index recorded in a single tropical cyclone season. In addition, this season had 10 [[Saffir-Simpson scale|Saffir-Simpson]] Category 5-equivalent tropical cyclones, the most ever recorded, even greater than the [[2005 Atlantic hurricane season]], which had nearly half of the amount. The [[1997–98 El Niño event]] was a contributing factor to this unusually high activity. Despite this, the season produced an average number of tropical storms, spawning 29 tropical storms.▼

The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean to the north of the equator between [[100th meridian east|100°E]] and [[180th meridian]]. Within the northwestern Pacific Ocean, there are two agencies which assign names to tropical cyclones which can often result in a cyclone having two names. The [[Japan Meteorological Agency]] <small>(JMA)</small>{{#tag:ref|The Japan Meteorological Agency is the official [[Regional Specialized Meteorological Center]] for the western Pacific Ocean.|group="nb"}} will name a [[tropical cyclone]] if it has 10-minute [[maximum sustained wind|sustained wind speeds]] of at least {{cvt|65|km/h}} anywhere in the basin, while the [[Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration]] <small>(PAGASA)</small> assigns names to tropical cyclones which are active in the [[Philippine Area of Responsibility]] (PAR), located between 135°E and 115°E and between 5°N–25°N, regardless of whether or not a tropical cyclone has already been given a name by the JMA.

{{Top 10 Most Intense Pacific typhoon season}}
The [[
The season was unusual and exceptional in the number of super typhoons that occurred in the basin. 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. Eleven typhoons reached winds of at least 135 knots. They were Isa, Nestor, Rosie, Winnie, Bing, Oliwa (from Central Pacific), Ginger, Ivan, Joan, Keith, and Paka (also from the Central Pacific). This was due to the [[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. This is also due to the El

During this period, the storm intensified into a [[Category 5 hurricane|Category 5 super typhoon]], with winds reaching {{convert|265|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} by 0000 UTC on September 27. At this time, Ginger featured a small, well-defined eye surrounded by a smooth [[central dense overcast]] and large convective feeder bands. The general cloudless environment surrounding the system allowed [[Outflow (meteorology)|outflow]] to cover a large area. Shortly after peaking, the storm began to recurve towards the northeast and weaken. Gradually accelerating, the storm began to undergo an extratropical transition. The JTWC issued their final advisory on the typhoon at 0600 UTC on September 30. Several hours later, the extratropical system weakened below typhoon intensity.<ref name="GingerTCR"/> The remnants of Ginger persisted for two more days as it rapidly tracked towards the [[Western United States]].

The [[Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration]] (PAGASA) 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.). This naming list was not used again as PAGASA started a new naming scheme in the [[2001 Pacific typhoon season|2001 season]]. Names that were not assigned/used are marked in {{tcname unused}}.
