the naming reason of typhoon

the number of typhoon is also the number of tropical cyclone. People want to number tropical cyclones, on the one hand, because a tropical cyclone often lasts for more than a week, and several tropical cyclones may appear in the ocean at the same time. With the serial number, there will be no confusion.

On the other hand, the naming, definition, classification methods and determination of the center position of tropical cyclones are different in different countries and methods, even in the same country, they are not exactly the same among different meteorological stations, which often leads to various misunderstandings and confusion in use.
