What is the naming basis of typhoon?

The internationally unified naming method for typhoons is to make a naming table by colleagues from countries and regions around the typhoon, and then recycle it year after year in sequence.

The northwest Pacific Ocean is the region with the most frequent typhoon (tropical storm) activities in the world, with as many as six or seven landings in China every year.

Before there was an international unified naming rule, the countries and regions concerned used different names for tropical storms here, and the same typhoon often had several names. According to the region and time of occurrence, China has carried out four-code numbering, with the first two digits as the year and the last two digits as the sequence number. The typhoon centers of the Asia-Pacific Regional Professional Meteorological Observatory under the World Meteorological Organization in Tokyo, Japan, are numbered in the order of east longitude 180 degrees and north of the equator. The Joint typhoon warning center, the Guam Navy of the United States, is named after the British and American countries, and Guam is also commonly used in international media reports. Some countries or regions have their own names for typhoons that affect this area.

To avoid confusion of names,1The 30th meeting of the Typhoon Committee of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) held in Hong Kong from 25 October to 25 February 1997 1 1 decided that tropical cyclones in the northwest Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea should be named in Asian style, and decided that tropical cyclones in 2000 should be 65438.

The naming table * * * has a total of 140 names, which are provided by the Asia-Pacific region 14 member countries and regions of the World Meteorological Organization, namely Cambodia, China, North Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, Laos, Macau, Malaysia, Micronesia, the Philippines, South Korea, Thailand, the United States and Vietnam, in order to facilitate people of all countries to prevent disasters in Taiwan Province.

14 members put forward 140 typhoon names, and each country and region put forward 10 names.

10 in China includes: Dragon King, the Monkey King, Yutu, Haiyan, Fengshen, Poseidon, Rhododendron, Dian Mu, Hippocampus and Begonia.

Interestingly, the names of typhoons in the western Pacific used internationally 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. [ 1]

If a tropical cyclone has caused particularly serious losses to members of the Typhoon Committee, the member may apply to delete the name used by the tropical cyclone from the name list, and give the tropical cyclone a permanent (permanent) name, and other tropical cyclones (typhoons) will no longer use the name. In this way, you need to add a new name to the naming table.
