'''Typhoon Dolphin''', known in the [[Philippines]] as '''Typhoon Ulysses''', was the final named storm and typhoon of the [[2008 Pacific typhoon season]]. The only impact that was reported from Dolphin was to the M/Bca Mae Jan, which was a cargo passenger ship which sank on December 14, due to rough seas caused by Dolphin. There were 46 people reported dead while seven were reported as missing.

Dolphin formed as a tropical depression early on December 8, 2008 to the northwest of Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. Over the next few days as the depression moved towards the west, the depression slowly intensified into a tropical storm being named Dolphin by the JMA on December 12. The next day as Dolphin moved into PAGASA's area of responsibility, it was assigned the local name of Ulysses. Dolphin was then upgraded to a typhoon the next day and reached its peak winds of 65 kts (75 mph; 120 km/h 10-minute winds) and 90 kts (105 mph; 165 km/h 1-minute winds) later that day. On December 17, as Dolphin was approaching the edge of PAGASA's Area of responsibility, it was downgraded to a tropical storm by both the JMA and the JTWC. Dolphin was then declared as extratropical the next day as it moved towards the northeast.

==Meteorological history==
{{storm path|Dolphin 2008 track.png}}
On December 2, the [[Japan Meteorological Agency]] (JMA) began to issue gale warnings on a new-born [[extratropical cyclone]] around the [[Ogasawara Islands]], and JMA started to issue storm warnings when the system accelerated eastward on the next day.<ref>{{cite web|title=Advisories on December 2, 2008|url=http://mtarchive.geol.iastate.edu/2008/12/02/text/Severe/|work=Mtarchive Data Server|publisher=Iowa State University of Science and Technology|format=TXT}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Advisories on December 3, 2008|url=http://mtarchive.geol.iastate.edu/2008/12/03/text/Severe/|work=Mtarchive Data Server|publisher=Iowa State University of Science and Technology|format=TXT}}</ref> The storm reached storm-force and attained its extratropical peak intensity with 10-minute maximum sustained winds of 60 knots (110 km/h, 70 mph) on December 4, when it was located far east of [[Japan]]; however, the low became developed late on the same day.<ref>{{cite web|title=Advisories on December 4, 2008|url=http://mtarchive.geol.iastate.edu/2008/12/03/text/Severe/|work=Mtarchive Data Server|publisher=Iowa State University of Science and Technology|format=TXT}}</ref>

The storm north of [[Wake Island]] started to track east-southeastward on December 5, as well as it tracked southeastward then southward on December 6.<ref>{{cite web|title=Advisories on December 5, 2008|url=http://mtarchive.geol.iastate.edu/2008/12/05/text/Severe/|work=Mtarchive Data Server|publisher=Iowa State University of Science and Technology|format=TXT}}</ref> At noon, it became a developing low again and reached its extratropical peak intensity for the second time, before it moved into the [[tropics]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Advisories on December 6, 2008|url=http://mtarchive.geol.iastate.edu/2008/12/06/text/Severe/|work=Mtarchive Data Server|publisher=Iowa State University of Science and Technology|format=TXT}}</ref> On December 7, the storm started to track southwestward and weakened into a gale-force system; eventually, the system transformed into a tropical depression southeast of Wake Island early on December 8.<ref>{{cite web|title=Advisories on December 7, 2008|url=http://mtarchive.geol.iastate.edu/2008/12/07/text/Severe/|work=Mtarchive Data Server|publisher=Iowa State University of Science and Technology|format=TXT}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Advisories on December 8, 2008|url=http://mtarchive.geol.iastate.edu/2008/12/08/text/Severe/|work=Mtarchive Data Server|publisher=Iowa State University of Science and Technology|format=TXT}}</ref>

However, early the next day, the JMA downgraded the depression to a low pressure area, as the depression's low level circulation center was partially exposed, and was in an area of moderate to high vertical wind shear. However the JMA re-upgraded the disturbance to a weak tropical depression 24 hours later. At 0600 UTC that morning, the [[Joint Typhoon Warning Center]] (JTWC), released a significant tropical weather advisory and rated the chances of the disturbance becoming a significant tropical cyclone within 24 hours as poor, due to a quikscat pass had shown that the low level circulation center had broken down into a wave. However, after the advisory was released the low level circulation center started to rapidly consolidate, and thus the JTWC initiated issuing warnings at 1200 UTC, December 10, and designated it as Tropical Depression 27W, while it was about {{convert|640|km|mi|abbr=on}} to the east of Guam and moving towards the west. Early the next day the depression's centre passed about {{convert|100|km|mi|abbr=on}} to the south of Guam and made its closest approach.
