Know a little cold knowledge every day | Typhoon strikes, so do you know how the typhoon is named?
The names of typhoons are Jade Rabbit, Mangosteen and Wukong. And the recent "Lichtma".
So are you curious about how he was named?
The naming method of typhoon is that the Asia-Pacific region 14 member countries under the World Meteorological Organization provide 10 names for typhoons in the northwest Pacific and the South China Sea.
That is to recycle the name of 140. The first typhoon appeared with this name, the second typhoon appeared with the next name, and the third typhoon appeared with the next name until 140 was fully used. Let's start with the name again.
If the typhoon brings a particularly serious disaster, this name will be deleted from the name of 140 and will no longer be used. The country that provided this name will provide another name to be added to the naming list.
In order to make the losses caused by typhoons smaller, the names given by countries are very gentle and more in line with their own characteristics.
The reason for this is that before 2000, whenever a typhoon came, the countries that might be affected would give it a name of their own, resulting in many different names for the same typhoon.
Their naming is also principled:
1. Each name is no more than 9 letters.
2. Simple pronunciation
3. Not the name of a business organization
4. Every member's language has no bad meaning.
5. It will not bring difficulties to Members.
6. Be recognized by all members.
Meet the above six conditions, and the naming will be successful.
So far, China's names include Dragon King, Wukong, Jade Rabbit, Haiyan, Fengshen, Poseidon, Rhododendron, Dian Mu, Hippocampus and Haitang.
Among them, the dragon king was replaced by anemone, Haiyan was replaced by white deer, and the delisting hippocampus was replaced by Mulan.
