Why is a typhoon called "Day Exemption"?

Why are some typhoons called "Tiantu" and others called "Wukong"?

Answer the question first. The name of the sky map comes from Japan, which means the constellation of the sky map. Wukong's name was given by China, which means the Monkey King.

Typhoon is the classification of tropical cyclones by Asia-Pacific countries north of the equator and west of the international international date line. Meteorologically, according to the definition of the World Meteorological Organization, the sustained wind speed of tropical cyclone center reaches 12 (that is, more than 32.7 meters per second or 1 18 kilometers), which is synonymous with hurricane or locality. The local synonym used in the Pacific Northwest is typhoon.

Because there may be multiple tropical cyclones in the ocean at the same time, the Northwest Pacific Ocean is the region with the most frequent tropical cyclone activity in the world except the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean and the North Atlantic where the United States is located, and as many as a dozen tropical cyclones land in China every year.

The joint typhoon warning center set up by the US military in Guam (now moved to Hawaii) was used to name tropical cyclones in World War II for easy identification. The first names were all women, and later the male names were added to 1979. From 1947 to 1999, tropical cyclones in the northwest Pacific and the South China Sea informally adopted the above names.

As early as the early to mid-20th century, Chinese mainland, Taiwan Province Province and Japan assigned a four-digit number to tropical cyclones in their respective regions, with the first two digits of the number being the year and the last two digits being the serial number of the year. For example, 03 12, which is the tropical cyclone 12 in 2003. On the other hand, the US Navy assigned a two-digit number to tropical cyclones in the northwest Pacific, which was later changed to a two-digit number with the English letter W.

In order to reduce the confusion, in 198 1, Japan was entrusted to assign an international number to each tropical cyclone in the northwest Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea, but other regions were allowed to continue to assign their own numbers. Since then, in most international publications, publishing institutions will put international numbers in brackets. However, meteorological agencies sometimes have different numbers of tropical cyclones, mainly because they have different assessments of tropical cyclone intensity. For example, in the windy season of 2006, the China Meteorological Bureau numbered a storm (China Meteorological Bureau 06 14) that was not named by the Japan Meteorological Agency, so in the remaining windy season, the number of the former was one more than that of the latter.

1 997165438+1October 25th to 65438+February1the 30th meeting of the Typhoon Committee of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) decided that tropical cyclones in the northwest Pacific and the South China Sea should be named in Asian style, and decided that tropical cyclones in the northwest Pacific and the South China Sea should be named from 2000 to 2000. * * * There are five nomenclature tables, which are composed of two names provided by 14 member countries, and the names will be used in the order of English country names provided. Unlike the Atlantic Ocean and the Northeast Pacific Ocean, these names will be recycled (that is, after using up 140 names, go back to the first one and start over).

140 names are provided by the Asia-Pacific region 14 member countries and regions of the World Meteorological Organization, namely Cambodia, China, North Korea, China, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Laos, China, Macau, Malaysia, Micronesia, the Philippines, South Korea, Thailand, the United States and Vietnam. Each country and region put forward 10 names.

China proposed 10: Dragon King (later replaced by anemone), Wukong, Yutu, Haiyan, Fengshen, Poseidon, Rhododendron, Dian Mu, Hippocampus and Begonia.

The names of typhoons in the western Pacific still have few meanings of disaster, and most of them have elegant and peaceful meanings, such as jasmine, rose, pearl, lotus and colorful clouds. This seems to be out of harmony with the typhoon disaster. This is because if a typhoon comes, it can effectively alleviate the local drought and bring enough precipitation. Under normal circumstances, the name of a typhoon is extremely pleasant to listen to.

These names and numbers are not only used for forecasting and warning in international aviation and navigation, but also used as standard names for releasing tropical cyclone news to international media.

In Chinese mainland and Taiwan Province provinces, meteorological agencies will explain the pronunciation and meaning of tropical cyclone mbth. China Meteorological Bureau, Hong Kong Observatory and Macau Meteorological Bureau will reach an agreement on translation, but Taiwan Province Province is not a member of the Typhoon Committee of the World Meteorological Organization, so it cannot provide the name of the typhoon.

When a tropical cyclone causes serious damage in a certain area, the area can ask it to retire (of course, there are other reasons that can also lead to the retirement of a tropical cyclone name. For example, Numan's pronunciation is similar to one of the Indian gods, which conflicts with religious views and is replaced by Morakot. Countries that name tropical cyclones will be given another name instead. For example, Chinese mainland and Hongkong will be nominated by the public, and then some winning names will be selected and submitted to the World Meteorological Organization for confirmation.
