How did the typhoon get its name? How did the hurricane get its name? Why do we need to give it a name?

Typhoon is a very strong weather that occurs on the tropical ocean. We have all seen vortices in the water. Typhoons are vortices that occur in the atmosphere. On the one hand, they rotate around their center, and on the other hand, they move forward with the atmosphere. Generally, the diameter of small typhoons can reach about 100 kilometers, and the diameter of large typhoons can reach 2,000 kilometers. There are typhoons in both the southern and northern hemispheres, but the characteristics of typhoons in the northern and southern hemispheres are different.

There are typhoons in various sea areas around the world, but their names are different in different sea areas. In the North Atlantic and Northeast Pacific, they are generally called hurricanes. In the Indian Ocean, including the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, we call them cyclonic storms. In the waters northeast of Australia we become a tropical cyclone, and in the northwest Pacific we are called a typhoon. Where did the typhoon get its name? Before 2000, there was a number. For example, Typhoon No. 9 in 2007 had an English name but no unified Chinese name. In 1997, the 30th Asia-Pacific Typhoon Committee Meeting was held in Hong Kong. At the meeting, Asian representatives proposed to name typhoons after Asian names.

The Typhoon Committee has 14 members, each member provides 10 names, so there are 140 names, forming a naming list, arranged in a certain order. The 14 members are arranged alphabetically. There are an average of 28 typhoons a year, so it is basically used up in 5 years. What to do when you run out? Recycle. First, the name cannot be too long and cannot exceed 9 letters; second, it must be easy to pronounce; third, it cannot have bad connotations among members, and it cannot cause differences among members. Of course, it cannot be used for advertising. This is the naming convention.

If a typhoon makes landfall in China and causes great damage, we can apply to the Typhoon Committee to permanently delete the name and then add another one. Whoever provides the name will Come and make up. Last year, the China Meteorological Administration held a "I will name the typhoon" activity, Typhoon Dragon King. In 2005, Typhoon Dragon King caused a lot of damage, so it was suggested to remove it and then add another one. There were Nezha, Haikui, etc., and finally Haikui replaced the Dragon King.

The name must be known to ordinary people, and some are myths, such as Wukong. Some are named after flowers, and some are named after fish. This is the name I wanted everyone to know.

The names given by other countries are usually the names of fish and flowers. For example, the names of typhoons in the North Atlantic are named after girls. In fact, it implies people's desire. Although the typhoon is very powerful, it will bring us more favorable things and less disadvantages. Let’s understand it this way.
