    According to experts, the northwest Pacific region is the most frequent area in the world for typhoons (tropical storms), and there are landfalls in China every year.

    Six or seven. Over the years, tropical storms have been called by different names for the tropical storms that haunt the area, and there are often several names for the same typhoon. In China, according to the area and time of its occurrence, the first two digits are the year, and the last two digits are the sequence number.

    The typhoon centres of the Regional Meteorological Observatory for Asia and the Pacific of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in Tokyo, Japan, are numbered in the order of their entry into 180 degrees east longitude and north of the equator. The U.S. Navy Joint Typhoon Warning Center is named after people in Britain and the United States, and international media also commonly use the name ** in their reports. There are also countries or regions that name their own typhoons that affect their own areas.

    In order to avoid confusion in the names, the countries and regions concerned held a special meeting and decided that all typhoons (tropical storms) active in the northwest Pacific region will be given a new set of names that are jointly recognized by 14 countries (regions) in the Asia-Pacific region and have the characteristics of the Asia-Pacific region from last year, so as to facilitate the people of all countries to prevent Taiwan and fight disasters and strengthen international and regional cooperation.

    Among the 140 typhoon names proposed by the 14 members, in addition to Hong Kong and Macao, the 10 proposed by the mainland of the motherland are: Dragon King, (Monkey) Wukong, Jade Rabbit, Haiyan, Fengshen, Poseidon, Azalea, Electric Mother, Seahorse and Begonia. According to experts, Typhoon No. 5 Rammasun is named after Thailand, which means "Thor"; Typhoon No. 6 Chatan is a name given by the Americans, meaning "rain"; And Tropical Storm No. 8 "Nakili", which made landfall in Taiwan today, is the name of a flower in Cambodia.

    It is reported that when a tropical storm intensifies, it becomes a typhoon.

    Experts say that as early as the 18th century, Australian meteorologists began naming typhoons after women as an honor or memorial to their girlfriends, beloved wives or politicians who were given cold shoulders. This practice has quickly become popular in Europe and the United States. In 1949, the first hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean was named "Harry" because when the hurricane hit Florida, Harris Truman was inspecting there; Soon, another even crazier hurricane swept through Florida, and people honored her as Mrs. ** "Bass".

    During the typhoon season one year, two typhoons popped out of the Gulf of Mexico at the same time, named "Alice" and "Barbara". The little sisters caused an unprecedented flood. As a result, the movement against the use of a woman's name for the typhoon surged and letters and cries nearly flooded the press and the weather bureau.

    Despite this, stubborn meteorologists insisted on this practice, which was used in many countries until the end of the 70s. Hurricane Cecil in 1979 was the first typhoon in U.S. history to be named after a man.

    Because China used the name "typhoon" in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. According to the "Fujian Provincial Chronicle": "The wind is strong and fierce is a hurricane, and even a Taiwan."

    Hurricanes often occur suddenly, and Taiwan has gradually. Hurricanes or instantaneous stops, while stations stop for days and nights or days. Around February and March, the one that starts is a hurricane, and the one that starts in May, June, July and August is Taiwan."

    Meteorologist Zhu Kezhen uses "typhoon" as a transliteration of the Chinese "typhoon".

    Typhoons are a type of tropical cyclone. A tropical cyclone is a low-pressure vortex that occurs over the tropical or subtropical ocean, and is a kind of "tropical weather system" with strong spring and deep strength. China divides tropical cyclones in the South China Sea and the Northwest Pacific into six levels according to the maximum average wind force (wind speed) near the center of the bottom, of which the wind force near the center is 12 or above, collectively referred to as typhoons.

    Broadly speaking, the term "typhoon" is not a tropical cyclone intensity. Tropical cyclones (including tropical storms, severe tropical storms and typhoons as defined by the World Meteorological Organization) with sustained winds of metres per second or more at their centre are referred to as typhoons. Officially, the term "typhoon" even refers directly to the tropical cyclone itself.

    According to the U.S. Navy's Joint Typhoon Warning Center, the number of typhoons in the Northwest Pacific and the South China Sea between 1959 and 2004 was related to the monthly cover, with an average of one typhoon per year, with the most typhoons occurring in August, followed by July and September.

    Typhoon"The term derives from the socio-cultural and historical context of the East Asian region. Here's a general explanation:"Typhoon"The term first originated in the Hebian region in southern China, and people in ancient China called the coastal areas hit by strong storms and strong winds and waves"Desk", so the storm is called Zen good oak"Typhoon"。

    This word is commonly used in the southern dialect of our country, and over time it has evolved into a well-known sock noun for a weather phenomenon. Related to this, the Taiwan region has historically been hit by strong tropical cyclones because Taiwan is one of the most active tropical cyclone-forming zones in the northwest Pacific Ocean. Therefore, Taiwan is a place that is often hit by typhoons and is also called in English"typhoon"。

    In the Hakka dialect of the Taiwanese region, typhoon is also called"taifeng"。In short,"Typhoon"The name derives from the geographical and historical context of East Asia and has become a common term used to describe tropical cyclones. It is important to note that other regions also use different names to describe similar meteorological phenomena, such as tropical cyclones, hurricanes, tornadoes, and so on.

    Summary. The name typhoon comes from the ancient Chinese understanding of the geographical environment and climate, and has become an important word in modern Chinese after thousands of years of development and evolution.

    The name typhoon comes from the understanding of the geographical environment and climate in the ancient Chinese Zen and filial piety dynasties, and after thousands of years of development and evolution, it has become an important word in the Chinese language of the early draft of the present He.

    A typhoon is a strong cyclone that forms over the Tongchun Leak in the tropical ocean, with a wind speed of more than 118 kilometers per hour, which can bring extreme weather phenomena such as huge storm surges and heavy rainfall. Typhoons are known by different names in the world, such as hurricanes, typhoons, storms, etc., but they all refer to the same phenomenon of Tiansen gas.

    "Typhoon"Whether the word, the English name typhoon, is transliterated or translated from Chinese, there are different opinions. Typhoons are classified as tropical cyclones, but not all tropical cyclones are called typhoons.

    According to the World Meteorological Organization, a tropical cyclone is classified as a typhoon if it has sustained winds of 12 knots or more (i.e. 64 knots or more, metres per second or more, or 118 kilometres per hour or above) at its centre.

    However, gale of this magnitude has different names in different regions, north of the equator, west of the date line, and in countries or regions in the Asia-Pacific Ocean"Typhoon";And in the Atlantic region, it is called"Hurricanes", which has a similar meaning to a typhoon, but in a different location.

    In Taiwan, Japan and other places, tropical cyclones (including tropical storms, severe tropical storms and typhoons as defined by the World Meteorological Organization) are referred to as typhoons with sustained winds of meters per second or more at their centres.

    After the explanation, if you can, take it!

    In ancient times, the wind god was called "Ji Bo", and "Ji" was pronounced as "tai" in southern Fujian. tai The wind is blown by the god of wind. As for why is it called that in Japanese? Let's put it this way, the pronunciation of "world" in Japanese is the same as the pronunciation of Hokkien Yimao, so let's understand it.

    ** of the name of the typhoon.

    It is generally believed to have evolved from the Cantonese gale for gale ; However, according to Professor Lin Shaohao's research, it may have evolved from the Hokkien language "wind sieve", and Yu Lu Dingmei rebuilt Taiwan County Zhiyun: The Yuntai is the native who sees the hurricane and the rain on all sides, and the air is swirling like a sieve. To this day, Hokkien calls typhoons wind platforms, so this statement is quite credible.

    This is one of them. Later, the pronunciation of the Cantonese gale (dai fung) was transliterated by foreign countries, so there was the English typhoon and the French typhon.

    Later, when foreigners came to Beijing, the northerners translated it as "typhoon" in a half-transliterated and half-literal way.

    Cyclones that form in the South Pacific Ocean are called typhoons, and cyclones that form in the Atlantic Ocean are called hurricanes.

    There are many opinions on the origin of the word "typhoon", which can be roughly divided into two types, namely, the foreign language and the Chinese language.

    The exogenous sources say that:

    The encyclopedia says that in ancient China, people called typhoons hurricanes, and it was not until the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty that the name "typhoon" began to be used. It can be seen that the word is a foreign word. It is also proved that the Greek word typhoon, which is both the name of the god of wind and the common noun meaning "whirlwind, typhoon", was borrowed into Arabic, then into India, and then borrowed from English, and then into China.

    A weather online said that the "Fujian Provincial Chronicles" recorded: "The wind is strong and strong for hurricanes, and even for Taiwan." Hurricanes often occur suddenly, and Taiwan has gradually.

    Hurricanes or instantaneous stops, while stations stop for days and nights or days. Around February and March, the one that starts is a hurricane, and the one that starts in May, June, July and August is Taiwan." At that time, Taiwan and Southeast Asia already had Western colonial life, and the foreign word typhoon was brought to Taiwan, and the transliteration of "typhoon" was transmitted to China.

    Originated from China, and "export to domestic sales" are:

    Mr. Zhu Kezhen, a Chinese meteorologist, once believed that the English typhoon was a transliteration of the Chinese "typhoon". The reason why it is called "typhoon" is because mainlanders see that the typhoons that make landfall all come from the direction of Taiwan, so they call it typhoon.

    The Cantonese gale is pronounced like "typhoon" and was introduced into Mandarin Chinese and borrowed from foreign languages.

    The Hokkien dialect Dafeng, pronounced like "Fengtai", was introduced into Mandarin Chinese and borrowed from foreign languages.

    The colonists in Taiwan used the name of the Greek god of wind "Taifeng" to call Taiwan's gale, which evolved into a "typhoon" and was taken abroad by the colonists.

    What the truth is, it is not known.

    There are four basic conditions for typhoon formation.

    Here I will first give the definition of a typhoon: a typhoon is a strong tropical cyclone with a warm structure that occurs on the surface of a tropical ocean and can bring disastrous weather.

    1.Suitable sea surface temperature. The surface temperature of the sea water is 26-28 degrees Celsius, which is suitable for the development of typhoon warm core structures. This is the primary condition for the formation of typhoons. This temperature provides enough energy for the typhoon.

    2.Initial perturbation. It's like a spring oscillator, it won't vibrate without giving it a perturbation.

    3.A certain geostrophic deflection force. Geostrophic deflection forces cause the disturbance to develop into cyclonic rotation, which is a necessary condition for the formation of typhoons. At the equator, the geostrophic deflection force is zero on the land, and the disturbance cannot develop into rotation, so there is no typhoon formation.

    4.The vertical shear of the wind is smaller. In the vertical direction, the wind speed should be comparable, and when there is a large difference between the upper and lower wind speeds, the heat in the lower layer will be blown away by the wind in the upper layer as soon as it gathers, which is not conducive to the formation of warm hearts and the accumulation of typhoon energy.

    This is based on what I have learned, and it should be about the same for the exam. Hey hey

In the 70s of the 20th century, a nomenclature system was used for all tropical cyclone-prone areas. Since the end of the 70s, the naming of tropical cyclones has become internationalized under the coordination of the regional tropical cyclone commissions of the World Meteorological Organization. In most regions, tropical cyclone nomenclature (usually alternating male and female names) has been developed by the Tropical Cyclone Commission (RCC), which is more tasked with promoting and coordinating tropical cyclone mitigation actions in the region. >>>More
