How do meteorologists name typhoons? Why do they have different names every time?

At the beginning of the 20th century, people began to name typhoons. It is said that the first person to name a typhoon was an Australian forecaster in the early 20th century. He named tropical cyclones as political figures he didn't like, so that meteorologists could call them publicly. In the northwest Pacific, the official naming of typhoons began with 1945. At first, only female names were used. Later, it is said that due to the opposition of feminists, starting from 1979, men's names and women's names were used alternately. Until 1997, 1 65438+1October 25th to 65438+February1,the 30th meeting of the Typhoon Committee of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) held in Hong Kong decided that tropical cyclones in the northwest Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea should be named in Asian style, and it was decided that tropical cyclones in the year of 2000 should be named in the Asian style. The new naming method is to make a naming table in advance and then reuse it year after year in sequence. The naming table * * * has 140 names and is provided by 14 member countries and regions in the Asia-Pacific region to which WMO belongs, such as Cambodia, China, North Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, Laos, Macau, Malaysia, Micronesia, the Philippines, South Korea, Thailand, the United States and Vietnam. Each country or region provides 65,438+00 names. The 140 names are divided into 10 groups, and each group has 14 names. According to the alphabetical order of the English names of the member countries, it is recycled in turn, that is, the nomenclature table of tropical cyclones in the northwest Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. At the same time, keep the original tropical cyclone number. Specifically, each name does not exceed 9 letters; Easy to pronounce; There is no bad meaning in each member's language; Will not bring any difficulties to members; Not the name of a commercial organization; All members should endorse the selected name. If any member objects, this name cannot be used as a typhoon name.

Browse the typhoon naming table. Names are rarely used, mostly animals, plants, food and so on. There are also some names that are adjectives or beautiful legends, such as Yutu and Wukong. The name "Rhododendron" was provided by China, which is the familiar Rhododendron: "Korowang" that landed in China a while ago was provided by Cambodia, which is the name of a tree: "Morak" was provided by Thailand, which means jade; "Ibudu" is a name provided by the Philippines, which means chimney or water pipe to discharge rainwater from the roof into the ditch.

The actual naming and use of typhoons is the responsibility of Tokyo Regional Professional Meteorological Center of Japan Meteorological Agency. When a tropical cyclone in the northwest Pacific or the South China Sea is determined by the Japan Meteorological Agency as a tropical storm intensity, it will be named according to the list and given a four-digit number. The first two digits of the number are the year, and the last two digits are the order of tropical storms in that year. For example, Tropical Storm No.4 in 0704 and 07.

According to the regulations, a tropical cyclone's name will remain unchanged throughout its life cycle, whether it is strengthened or weakened. For example, tropical storm 0704, severe tropical storm and typhoon are all named "Wanyi" in English and "Iman" in Chinese. In order to avoid unnecessary confusion caused by multiple translators, the Central Meteorological Observatory in China, the Hong Kong Observatory and the Geophysical and Meteorological Observatory in Macau, China decided on a unified set of Chinese translations.

Under normal circumstances, the pre-made naming table is recycled year after year in sequence, but under special circumstances, the naming table will also be adjusted. For example, when a typhoon is notorious for causing particularly serious disasters or casualties, it becomes a well-known typhoon. In order to prevent it from having the same name as other typhoons, members of the Typhoon Committee may apply to delete its name from the naming list, that is, the name will be given to the tropical cyclone forever, and other tropical cyclones will no longer use it. When the name of a typhoon is deleted from the name list, the Typhoon Committee will supplement the name of a tropical cyclone according to the suggestions of relevant members.

From June 5438+1 October1in 2000, when the Central Meteorological Observatory issued the tropical cyclone warning, it used not only the tropical cyclone number, but also the tropical cyclone name. Previously, China has been using tropical cyclone numbering method.
