List of names of tropical cyclones

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of tropical cyclone names is used by the particular weather observation facility. Storm names were introduced to better distinguish cyclones in the individual forecast areas.

Regions

The World Meteorological Organization  (WMO) commissions six Regional Specialized Meteorological Centers  (RSMC) to coordinate the monitoring of tropical cyclones. There are also some local schemes.

North Atlantic

In the northern Atlantic Ocean , the storms are named by the National Hurricane Center of the United States . There are six different lists of names that have been in use since 1979, beginning with List I, that use names of both genders. The names are arranged in alphabetical order that repeats after six years. List V was used in 2007 , List VI was used in 2008, List I was used again in 2009, and so on. Names of storms that were very serious due to damage to property or the number of victims can be removed from the list by the WMO . All letters of the alphabet are used, with the exception of the letters Q, U, X, Y and Z.

The gender of the names alternates between the consecutive names in a list (a male name is followed by a female and vice versa) and also between the first names between two consecutive lists (in years with an even year the list begins with a male name, in years with odd year with a female).

If the names on a list have all been used in a year, further storms are named according to the Greek alphabet (Alpha, Beta, Gamma etc.) These names, unlike the names on the regular lists, cannot be deleted. If a storm with a Greek name had the effects that would otherwise lead to the deletion of that name, the storm will be identified as a deleted storm name, but the name will still be available in the future. The use of 21 names was determined because 21 tropical cyclones were recorded in the very active 1933 Atlantic hurricane season , which for many years was a record that was only broken during the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season , in which 28 storms (27 named and one unnamed) recorded and the first time the use of the Greek alphabet was required to name the storms.

Eastern North Pacific (east of 140 ° west longitude)

The eastern North Pacific follows the same naming scheme as the North Atlantic , but uses its own lists. The current scheme was first used in 1978 (although List IV was used then, starting with List I in 1979, as in the Atlantic). Names starting with X, Y, and Z weren't added until 1985 when the number of storms threatened to exhaust the list. In contrast to the others, names with these three letters are not repeated every six years but every second year because too few first names begin with these letters. (“Xina” was used in 1985 and even “Zeke” in 1992). Hurricane names are deleted as in the Atlantic; the process is far less common, however, because hurricanes in the eastern Pacific are much less likely to cause major damage. The last such deletion was Hurricane Patricia , which hit Mexico particularly hard in 2015; In addition, the WMO deleted the ancient Egyptian name Isis in spring 2015 because of the consistency with the acronym of the Islamic State , ISIS.

As in the Atlantic, the Greek alphabet would be used if more than 24 named storms occurred in one season. In contrast to the Atlantic basin, this has not yet happened in the Pacific.

Central North Pacific (between the date line and 140 ° west longitude)

Storms in the central North Pacific, i.e. the area between the date line and 140th longitude west, are named by the Central Pacific Hurricane Center in Honolulu , Hawaii based on four lists. These are arranged alphabetically according to the Hawaiian alphabet . These lists are used on a rotating basis regardless of the year. The first storm name of a year is the next unused name on the list. The last name used in the 2016 Pacific hurricane season was Ulika , and the next storm to emerge in the central Pacific was called Walaka .

Western North Pacific

Tropical cyclones in the western North Pacific (from the equator to 60 ° north latitude, between 100 ° and 180 ° east longitude) are given a name by the Tokyo Typhoon Center of the Japan Meteorological Agency . The names come from lists drawn up by the members of the WMO Typhoon Committee . Each of these 14 members submitted 10 suggestions for names. So a total of 140 names are used. The order in which they are used depends on the alphabetical order of the English names of the respective member states.

To illustrate this order, the sorting of the list of countries according to their English names has been retained in the following table.

Philippines

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) gives its own names to the tropical cyclones and low pressure areas that occur in its area of ​​responsibility. These are given in addition to the internationally agreed names. The lists are reused every four years, starting in 2005. If the list is not sufficient in one year, the names are taken from a replacement list.

Australian region

There is no RSMC in the region around Australia, but the weather services of Indonesia, Australia and Papua New Guinea operate a total of five Tropical Cyclone Warning Centers  (TCWC). However, since three of these TCWCs are operated by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology , there are only three lists of names. A tropical system is given a name in the region when it has reached sustained wind speeds of 65 km / h and gusts of wind occur at least in a semicircle around the center. Storm names will be removed from the list of names if decided at the Conference of the World Meteorological Organization Regional Association V Tropical Cyclone Committee.

Responsibility for assigning a name depends on where the system intensifies into a tropical cyclone. It is incumbent on the TCWC Jakarta if this happens between the equator and the tenth degree of southern latitude between 90 ° east longitude and 125 ° east longitude. If this happens between the equator and the tenth southern latitude and between 141 ° east longitude and 160 ° east longitude, the Tropical Cyclone Warning Center in Port Moresby , Papua New Guinea is responsible. The Australian Bureau of Meteorology is responsible for naming the rest of the area between the equator and 40 ° south latitude and between 90 ° east longitude and 160 ° east longitude. When a tropical cyclone moves from one area of ​​responsibility to another, it will keep its name unless it ends up in the southwestern Ind, where the Mauritius Meteorological Service is renaming the system.

Australia: TCWCs of the Bureau of Meteorology

Up to and including the Australian cyclone season 2007-2008 , the respective branch of the Bureau of Meteorology in Brisbane , Darwin and Perth as the responsible Tropical Cyclone Warning Center has assigned names based on the ocean area in which a tropical cyclone originated on the basis of separate lists. Starting with the Australian cyclone season 2008-2009 , a uniform name was introduced. It consists of five lists of names that are used in a similar way to those in the area of ​​responsibility of the Central Pacific Hurricane Center, regardless of the calendar year. Names of storms that caused particularly severe destruction in Australia are removed from the lists and replaced.

Indonesia: TCWC Jakarta

In the Indonesian area of ​​responsibility, tropical cyclones are given names consecutively from List A, while List B contains names that are used when names from List A are deleted.

List B Anggur Belimbing Duku Jambu Lengkeng Melati Nangka Pisang Rambutan Sawo

Papua New Guinea: TCWC Port Moresby

The name assignment by the TCWC Port Moresby is not entirely clear. Past practice shows that names are randomly assigned using List A. Storm names are only used once. List A is added to list B in alphabetical order after using a storm name. However, the formation of tropical cyclones in this area of ​​responsibility is very rare.

Southwest Indian Ocean

Météo France in La Réunion is responsible for naming tropical cyclones that form in the Indian Ocean south of the equator and the western border of the Australian area of ​​responsibility along the 90th degree east . Cyclones that migrate over 90 degrees longitude from the Australian observation area are given a new name. In the opposite direction, they keep their name. The functioning of the lists is similar to that in the Atlantic Ocean, but due to the location in the southern hemisphere , the season runs from July to June of the following year. In addition, a new list is drawn up for each season, which, unlike North America, is not repeated. There is therefore no deletion of names.

Southwest Pacific (Fiji)

Within the area of ​​responsibility of the RSMC Nadi south of the equator and between 160 ° east longitude and 120 ° west longitude, tropical cyclones are given a name if they reach sustained wind speeds of 65 km / h and have gusts of wind at least in a semicircle around the center. This criterion corresponds to that of the Australian region. The name is assigned by the RSMC Nadi alone, if the cyclone forms between the equator and 25 ° south latitude. If the location of the intensification of the cyclone is south of it, the name will be given together with the Tropical Cyclone Warning Center in Wellington , New Zealand (TCWC Wellington). Cyclones that migrate to or come from the Australian region keep their original name.

South Atlantic

Because of the extreme rarity of tropical cyclones in the southern Atlantic Ocean, there is no scheme for naming storms in this area.

When a cyclone formed there in 2004, he was informally christened Catarina after the city of Santa Catarina in Brazil, where he met the mainland. In some meteorological publications, this storm is also referred to as Hurricane Aldonça , with the ulterior motive to use an 'A' for the first storm. The name Anita was given in March 2010 to a tropical storm that formed off the coast of the states of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina . The namesake was Anita Garibaldi , who is not unimportant for the history of both states . Anita was the first officially named tropical cyclone in the southern Atlantic Ocean.
