A Pacific hurricane is a mature tropical cyclone that develops within the eastern and central Pacific Ocean to the east of 180W, north of the equator. For tropical cyclone warning purposes, the northern Pacific is divided into three regions: the eastern (North America to 140W), central (140W to 180), and western (180 to 100E), while the southern Pacific is divided into 2 sections, the Australian region (90E to 160E) and the southern Pacific basin between 160E and 120W. Identical phenomena in the western north Pacific are called typhoons. This separation between the two basins has a practical convenience, however, as tropical cyclones rarely form in the central north Pacific due to high vertical wind shear, and few cross the dateline.
