Why do typhoons have to be named? Why do people name typhoons?

What is the name of the typhoon, it doesn't make much sense. The size of the typhoon, what to name a typhoon? It doesn't make any sense.

In order to distinguish the different typhoons, it is necessary to give them separate names. In a word, it is easy to identify, easy to promote wind prevention, and easy to distinguish typhoons that are not used! The name of the typhoon is chosen by each country, and it is used in turn, and if there is a typhoon that causes huge loss of life or property, the name will be banned...

For example, the name of the Dragon King Typhoon was banned and could no longer be used.

In order to distinguish the different typhoons, it is necessary to give them separate names. At first, it was distinguished by latitude and longitude, which was very cumbersome. There are almost 140 names in the typhoon naming list, which are submitted by different countries and recycled after being approved by the relevant authorities.

Do you think the typhoon should have a name? Of course, it's convenient to have names, and since it's time for them, 14 countries in Southeast Asia all give names to typhoons, but the names are not uniform back then, and each country has a different name, and then the International Weather Office has 14 countries in Asia to start together, and then the 14 countries have 10 in each, a total of 140, and the typhoon names rotate until the 140 names are used up, and they start again, and if the typhoon is very destructive, then that name will be canceled and a new one will be added.

The names of typhoons are proposed by the countries or regions concerned, and the names given to them are the names of people, plants, etc., and most of them have the meaning of elegance and peace. Typhoons in Asia are named by coastal countries in turn, usually after the country's mythological characters or flowers! And the American side is called a hurricane!

In fact, in the past, the names of typhoons were taken by each country, and the same typhoon would be called differently in different countries, and in order to facilitate exchanges between countries, the Asia-Pacific Council and the World Typhoon Committee of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) have specially formulated a naming rule for typhoons.

The naming of the typhoon is first determined by the World Meteorological Organization, which is the number one typhoon of that year, and then the meteorological organization of the country or region through which the typhoon passed through proposes a national name and finally naming it. An organization co-founded by the countries affected by the typhoon, in which a certain country names a typhoon in a certain order, is different, and it is all very good.

Because each typhoon experiences a different typhoon, and each typhoon causes a different degree of economic damage, it is necessary to name the typhoon to make it easier to distinguish it.

The main reason is that it is very helpful for future development after naming it in this way, and it can also record these names in the record, so that they will not be confused, every typhoon event that occurs.

These are not names, these are just typhoon numbers, which are used by people to record the weather and also to distinguish the outbreak of typhoons.

In order to distinguish different typhoons (tropical cyclones), it is necessary to give them separate names. The earliest distinction was based on the location of the typhoon (mainly the latitude and longitude in which it is located), which was quite cumbersome and often unsatisfactory. Until the beginning of the 19th century, some Spanish-speaking Caribbeans named hurricanes after the time of the holy calendar when the hurricane made landfall.

At the end of the 19th century, Australian forecaster Krimmen Langer named typhoons after politicians he hated.

During World War II, Americans named typhoons after women. At the end of the 70s of the 20th century, at the request of the American feminist movement, the nomenclature was expanded to alternate male and female names. This practice was soon widely adopted in the Western Hemisphere.

Later, under the coordination of the regional typhoon committees of the World Meteorological Organization, the naming of typhoons became international. In most regions, typhoon nomenclature (usually alternating male and female names) is developed by the region's typhoon committee.

Typhoon Naming: The Northwest Pacific and South China Sea tropical cyclone naming tables approved by the 31st Typhoon Committee have a total of 140 names, provided by 14 members in the Asia-Pacific region, including Cambodia, China, North Korea, Hong Kong, Macau, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Philippines, South Korea, Thailand, the United States, and Vietnam (each member provides 10 names).

The 140 names are divided into 10 groups; There are 14 names in each group (1 name for each member), in alphabetical order for each member. Named tables are sequentially and recycled.

According to the regulations, a tropical cyclone will always maintain its name regardless of whether it strengthens or weakens throughout its life. Most of these names come from the well-known legends of the host country and region. The name provided by China is:

Dragon King", "Jade Rabbit", "Wind God", "Cuckoo", "Seahorse", "Wukong", "Petrel", "Poseidon", "Electric Mother" and "Begonia".

Typhoons endanger and protect people at the same time. Typhoons have brought fresh water resources to mankind and greatly alleviated the global water shortage. A typhoon with a small diameter can bring 3 billion tons of precipitation when it makes landfall.

In addition, typhoons have kept the heat and cold relatively balanced around the world. The equatorial region has a hot climate, and if it weren't for typhoons to dissipate the heat, the tropics would be hotter, the cold zones would be colder, and the temperate zones would disappear from the earth.

At present, the naming of typhoons is based on the naming table of the countries and regions surrounding the typhoon.

The Typhoon Committee of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) met in 1997 and decided to adopt a new unified nomenclature for tropical cyclones in the Pacific and South China Seas in the northwest from 2000 onwards. Typhoon names were provided by 14 countries and regions, including China, Japan, the United States, Thailand, and South Korea, and each country (region) proposed 10 names, and finally formed a naming table that included 140 typhoon names. Wow and hide.

Since then, the names of typhoons have been recycled according to this table in the prescribed order. When a tropical cyclone over the Northwest Pacific or the South China Sea is determined to have reached tropical storm intensity, the name is given according to the nomenclature table and a four-digit number, with the first two digits being the year and the last two being the sequence number.

Direct damage caused by typhoons

1. Wind. Most typhoons have wind speeds of more than 17 m/s or even 60m/s. It has been measured that when the wind force reaches force 12, the wind pressure per square meter perpendicular to the wind direction plane can reach 230 kilograms.

Therefore, when a super typhoon comes, the strong winds brought by it and the huge waves caused by it can throw coastal ships up or even break them. It is also enough to damage or even destroy buildings, bridges, vehicles, etc. on land.

2. Heavy rain. When a typhoon makes landfall, 100 to 300 mm or even 500 to 800 mm of heavy rain can fall in a single day. Flooding caused by typhoons and rains is the most dangerous disaster due to its ferocity and devastating nature.

3. Storm surge.

When the typhoon moves to the land, due to the strong wind and low pressure of the typhoon, the sea water accumulates strongly in the direction of the coast, the tide level rises sharply, and the water waves are pressed towards the coast like a rough mountain, resulting in the overflow of the tide, the bursting of the seawall, the destruction of houses and various construction facilities, the inundation of towns and farmland, and the loss of a large number of people and property.

China's original naming of typhoons is the number, that is, the last two digits of the year used plus the typhoon number, such as the tenth typhoon in 1990 is called 9010, but many countries are called different, it is not convenient to communicate, and in some years there will be multiple typhoons raging together, it is difficult to distinguish who is who. Therefore, at the 30th meeting of the Typhoon Committee of the World Meteorological Organization in 1997, the Nomenclature of Tropical Cyclones in the Northwest Pacific and the South China Sea was formulated. The ** since January 1, 2000 began to use, ** in a total of 140 names, divided into 10 groups from beginning to end in order to recycle, respectively, the WMO belongs to the Asia-Pacific region of China, Cambodia, Japan, North Korea and other 14 member countries and regions each provide 10 Qing slip names, Wang Cha such as China provides the Dragon King, Yufu, Fengshen, Du Ya and so on.

Typhoon names** are listed in the Northwest Pacific and South China Sea Tropical Cyclone Nomenclature Tables adopted by the 31st Typhoon Committee. The list consists of 140 names, provided by 14 members of the Asia-Pacific region: Cambodia, China, North Korea, Hong Kong, Macau, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Micronesia (Federated States of), the Philippines, South Korea, Thailand, the United States and Vietnam. Each member provides 10 names, which are repeated in a sequential cycle year after year.

Throughout the summer, from Typhoon Umbia to Mangkhut, people wondered, how did the typhoon get named?

To know how a typhoon is named, first of all, we should be able to understand what a **wind is? It refers to being in the tropics or viceAbove 26 degrees in the tropicsThe maximum wind force near the middle of the sea is 12 or aboveTropical cyclones。According to the intensity, we can be divided into six levels: tropical depression, tropical storm, severe tropical storm, typhoon, strong typhoon, and super typhoon, which is a kind of natural disaster.

For the nomenclature of typhoons, the tropical cyclone nomenclature is used, which is the internationally unified nomenclature. Depending on the area of the surrounding countries affected by tropical cyclones, and then formulate oneName the table, year after year, in orderRecyclingThere are now more than 140 names on the naming list, which are provided by 14 member countries and regions in the Asia-Pacific region, including Cambodia, Chinese mainland, North Korea, Japan, Laos, etc. The ten names listed in China are Dragon King, Wukong, Jade Rabbit, Haiyan, Fengshen, Poseidon, Cuckoo, Seahorse and Begonia.

The origin of the name of the typhoon is:Very interestingThe first time a typhoon was named in Australia in the early second century, and a weather informant named a typhoon after one of his least favorite politicians, so that would workPublic teasingHe did. Later, the naming system was gradually improved, and some gentle names were generally used, and many typhoons had themUrbane and peacefulmeaning. After all, typhoons can bring localAbundant rain, to a large extent alleviate the local drought to a large extent, and changing the high temperature weather is not a big evil, such as Thailand's naming of typhoons:

Jasmine, roses.

When it comes to typhoons, people always feel that not only bring a lot of rain, especially this wind, which has a great impact, and some typhoons of a large level often cause great destructive power, but also cause very large economic losses, so people are also very afraid of typhoons. So every time a typhoon comes, there will be a name, so when it comes to the names of these typhoons, what basis do they have? What are they based on, as far as I understand, there is actually a basis for the naming of typhoons, which are provided by 14 member countries (regions) in the Asia-Pacific region to which the World Meteorological Organization belongs, and then each country (region) proposes 10 names, for a total of 140 names.

And the names of these typhoons can be used in cycles.

First of all, if the damage caused by a typhoon is very large, then the member country (region) that suffered less damage can also apply to the Typhoon Committee, for this application, it is to withdraw the name of the typhoon and stop using the name of the typhoon, so as to avoid confusion when people mention the typhoon again.

In fact, there is another situation where you can also apply for the name of the typhoon to be replaced, and when the member countries (regions) of the Typhoon Committee think that the name of the typhoon is a bit inappropriate, they can submit a request for removal. If the names of these typhoons are deleted, the Typhoon Committee will also add the names of these typhoons according to the proposal of the relevant members, and the names of these typhoons will generally be recommended by the original providing member countries (regions).

To sum up, the typhoons that come every year, in fact, each typhoon will have a name, for these names of typhoons, in fact, according to the 14 member countries (regions) in the Asia-Pacific region, and each member country (region) can submit 10 typhoon names, of course, because a typhoon caused great damage, you can apply to remove the typhoon name.

The Northwest Pacific and South China Sea tropical cyclone nomenclature system, known simply as typhoon nomenclature. Typhoon refers to a class of tropical cyclones over the Northwest Pacific and the South China Sea, and is often mistaken for a tropical cyclone. In fact, when a tropical cyclone reaches tropical storm intensity, it can be called a typhoon.

The internationally unified tropical cyclone nomenclature for typhoons is a nomenclature that is jointly formulated in advance by neighboring countries and regions that are formed and affected by tropical cyclones, and then reused in a cyclical manner year after year. Before the introduction of international rules for the naming of typhoons, the same typhoon was named differently by the countries and regions concerned. In order to avoid confusion in the names, the 30th meeting of the Typhoon Committee of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) held in Hong Kong in November 1997 decided to adopt a unified Asian-style naming of tropical cyclones in the Northwest Pacific and the South China Sea from 1 January 2000.

The name is given in English first, and each member country can translate the name into the local language according to its pronunciation or meaning. When a tropical cyclone name is used and causes significant losses to one or more member countries, the name will be permanently removed and discontinued. A Member State that has suffered a loss may appeal to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) to remove the name.

However, there are exceptions to the delisting of typhoons, and some typhoons are delisted for "purely technical" reasons and are decommissioned purely on the basis of the name itself.
