How many typhoons are named every year? Such as Mai Sha and Dragon King.

In order to better identify and track the trend of typhoons, in the Asia-Pacific region, the method of numbering typhoons in sequence was mostly used in the past. For example, Typhoon No.890/KOOC-0/refers to the first tropical cyclone that appeared in the western Pacific Ocean or the South China Sea and Beibu Gulf in east longitude/KOOC-0/80 and north of the equator/KOOC-0/989, and the average maximum wind force near its center reached more than/KOOC-0/2. With the rapid rise of Asia-Pacific economy and the rise of national self-esteem, people urgently demand to name typhoons in Asian style. 1 997165438+125 October to 65438+February1At the 30th meeting of the Typhoon Committee of the World Meteorological Organization held in Hongkong, China, it was decided to set up a research coordination group to name tropical cyclones in the western Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. Naming methods: Cambodia, China, North Korea, China, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Laos, China, Macau, Malaysia, Micronesia (Federated States of), Philippines, South Korea, Thailand, the United States and Vietnam each provide 10 tropical cyclone names, and each name is required to be no more than 9 letters long; The names used are easy to pronounce and have no bad meaning in the languages of member countries. At the same time, the name of a commercial organization cannot be used. There are 140 new tropical cyclone names * *, which have been used since June 2000 at 65438+ 10/. At the same time, in order to take care of habits and facilitate the internal business of meteorological departments, tropical cyclone numbers are still being used. In order to avoid confusion, the number of tropical cyclones entering the northwest Pacific through the international international date line is not given a new name in the Asia-Pacific region, that is, the original name remains unchanged.

The names of 10 provided by China are: Dragon King, Jade Rabbit, Fengshen, Rhododendron, Hippocampus, Wukong, Haiyan, Poseidon, Dian Mu and Begonia; China Hongkong Choice: Kai Tak, Iman, Phoenix, Cai Yun, Ma 'an, Shanshan, Lingling, Xinxin, Tingting and Banyan; China and Macau select pearls, Hu Die, wasp, Bama, plum blossom, Bebijia, thrush, lotus, agate and coral.

The first tropical cyclone in 2000 was named "Davi", which was provided by Cambodia. The name of the second tropical cyclone is the "Dragon King" of China; The third is the "red rock" provided by North Korea; Then, according to the pre-programmed name order, and so on. Up to typhoon 18 this year (2004),11names have appeared. Interestingly, if a typhoon is particularly rampant and causes extremely serious disasters to an area, its name will be eliminated from the "name library" and replaced by a new name provided by the relevant country.

Typhoon nomenclature has been further expanded and applied in the Asia-Pacific region, which is a gift from the meteorological department to the society in the new millennium. With the arrival of those new names, such as Dragon King, Wukong, Jade Rabbit, Du Fu and Hu Die, it helps the public to be alert to approaching tropical cyclones, and makes people feel close to nature while resisting storms, showing the perfect combination of science and art.
