Why are Typhoon No.20 in 20 14 and Typhoon No.2 in 2020 called "parrots"?

Typhoon No.20 on 20 14 and Typhoon No.2 in 2020 are both called "parrots" because there is a naming table of typhoons, and then the names are reused.

In order to avoid confusion of typhoon names, countries and regions concerned decided to standardize typhoon names at the 30th meeting of the Typhoon Committee of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) held in Hong Kong on1October 25th-June 5438+February 30th.

Among them, tropical cyclones in the northwest Pacific and South China Sea are named after Asian style. The naming method is to make a naming table in advance and then reuse it year after year in sequence. The naming table *** 140 is provided by 14 member countries and regions in the Asia-Pacific region to which WMO belongs. Among them, "parrot" is one of the names of 10 provided by Malaysia, which means parrot with blue crested hair.

In late August 2002, Typhoon 15 hit South Korea and North Korea, causing extensive damage. At the 35th meeting of the Typhoon Committee of the World Meteorological Organization, the Korea Meteorological Agency decided to stop using the name "Lusha" and replace it with "parrot".

Characteristics of Typhoon Parrot in 2020

Zhang Ling, chief forecaster of Typhoon and Marine Meteorological Forecasting Center of China Meteorological Bureau, said that the parrot has the following characteristics: short life, weak strength and asymmetric structure.

Typhoon Parrot is officially numbered as June 12, and the whole process is estimated to be only about 3 days, with a short life history. In terms of intensity, its intensity can reach tropical storm level to strong tropical storm level, which is relatively weak. The structure of typhoon parrot has obvious asymmetry, and the main strong convection area is not located near the typhoon center, but on the southwest side of the center, which is the main reason for its weak intensity, and also leads to the possibility that the heavy precipitation area is mainly concentrated on the west side of the typhoon path.
