Typhoon/Cyclone Chip (international designation: 9821, JTWC designation: 21W) was a rare cross-basin tropical cyclone that formed as Tropical Storm Chip in the West Pacific, and regenerated as Cyclone 07B in the North Indian Ocean. The twenty-first tropical cyclone of the 1998 Pacific typhoon season, Chip formed on November 10 and struck Vietnam on November 14. Chip dissipated over land.
