The 2008–09 South Pacific cyclone season was a below-average season with only six tropical cyclones occurring within the South Pacific between 160°E and 120°W. The season officially ran from November 1, 2008 to April 30, 2009 with the first disturbance of the season forming on December 1 and the last disturbance moving out of the region on April 11.〔An average season has nine tropical cyclones, about half of which become severe tropical cyclones.〕〔RSMC Nadi warns on systems in the South Pacific which is located from the equator to 25°S and from 160°E to 120°W. TCWC Wellington warns on systems from 25°S to 40°S and from 160°E to 120°W〕 For the fourth season in a row tropical cyclone activity in the South Pacific was below its climatological average of nine tropical cyclones, with only six tropical cyclones occurring within the region. The most damaging tropical disturbance was Tropical Depression 04F which also was the deadliest tropical disturbance occurring during the season. The depression caused $ (2009 USD; $ USD) in damage and killed twelve people when it caused the worst economic natural disaster in Viti Levu since the drought of 1998.〔http://www.met.gov.fj/documents/FICSJan20091233891588.pdf〕 During the season tropical cyclones were monitored by the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center (RSMC) in Nadi, Fiji, and the Tropical Cyclone Warning Center (TCWC) in Wellington, New Zealand. RSMC Nadi attached a number and an F suffix to tropical disturbances that formed in or moved into the South Pacific. The United States Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) also issued unofficial warnings throughout during the season, designating tropical cyclones with a number and a P suffix. RSMC Nadi and TCWC Wellington both use the Australian Tropical Cyclone Intensity Scale, and measured windspeeds over a period of ten minutes, while the JTWC measured sustained winds over a period of one minute and uses the Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale. This timeline includes information from post-storm reviews by RSMC Nadi, TCWC Wellington and the JTWC. It documents tropical cyclone formations, strengthening, weakening, landfalls, extratropical transitions, and dissipations during the season. Reports among warning centers often differ; as such, information from all three agencies has been included. ==Timeline of storms== ImageSize = width:800 height:200 PlotArea = top:10 bottom:80 right:20 left:20 Legend = columns:3 left:30 top:58 columnwidth:270 AlignBars = early DateFormat = dd/mm/yyyy Period = from:01/12/2008 till:01/05/2009 TimeAxis = orientation:horizontal ScaleMinor = grid:black unit:month increment:1 start:01/12/2008 Colors = id:canvas value:gray(0.88) id:GP value:red id:TDi value:rgb(0.5,0.8,1) legend:Tropical_Disturbance_=_<48_km/h_(<30 mph) id:TDe value:rgb(0.25,0.65,1) legend:Tropical_Depression_=_48-63_km/h_(30-39_mph) id:C1 value:rgb(0,0.98,0.96) legend:Category_1_=_63-87_km/h_(39-54_mph) id:C2 value:rgb(0.80,1,1) legend:Category_2_=_88-142_km/h_(55-74_mph) id:C3 value:rgb(1,1,0.80) legend:Category_3_=_143-158-km/h_(75-98_mph) id:C4 value:rgb(1,0.76,0.25) legend:Category_4_=_159-204_km/h_(99-127_mph) id:C5 value:rgb(1,0.38,0.38) legend:Category_5_=_≥205_km/h_(≥128_mph) Backgroundcolors = canvas:canvas BarData = barset:Hurricane bar:Month PlotData= barset:Hurricane width:10 align:left fontsize:S shift:(4,-4) anchor:till from:01/12/2008 till:03/12/2008 color:TDi text:"01F" from:03/12/2008 till:07/12/2008 color:TDe text:"02F" from:10/12/2008 till:11/12/2008 color:TDi text:"03F" barset:break from:04/01/2009 till:14/01/2009 color:TDe text:"04F" from:11/01/2009 till:14/01/2009 color:TDe text:"05F" from:19/01/2009 till:23/01/2009 color:TDe text:"06F" barset:break from:23/01/2009 till:25/01/2009 color:TDe text:"07F" from:24/01/2009 till:31/01/2009 color:C1 text:"Hettie" from:01/02/2009 till:07/02/2009 color:Tde text:"09F" barset:break from:14/02/2009 till:18/02/2009 color:C1 text:"Innis" from:10/03/2009 till:14/03/2009 color:C2 text:"Joni" from:16/03/2009 till:19/03/2009 color:C2 text:"Ken" barset:break from:24/03/2009 till:28/03/2009 color:C2 text:"Jasper" from:01/04/2009 till:08/04/2009 color:C2 text:"Lin" from:07/04/2009 till:10/04/2009 color:TDi text:"15F" bar:Month width:5 align:center fontsize:S shift:(0,-20) anchor:middle color:canvas from:01/12/2008 till:01/01/2009 text:December from:01/01/2009 till:01/02/2009 text:January from:01/02/2009 till:01/03/2009 text:February from:01/03/2009 till:01/04/2009 text:March from:01/04/2009 till:01/05/2009 text:April TextData = pos:(569,23) text:"(For further details, please see" pos:(713,23) text:"scales)" All data for the timeline graphic has been taken from RSMC Nadi and TCWC Wellington. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Timeline of the 2008–09 South Pacific cyclone season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
