Tropical cyclone naming

This article is about the current and future tropical cyclone lists. For the history of naming, see History of tropical cyclone naming. For previously named storms, see Historic tropical cyclone names.

Tropical cyclones and subtropical cyclones are named by various warning centers to provide ease of communication between forecasters and the general public regarding forecasts, watches, and warnings. The names are thought to reduce confusion in the event of concurrent storms in the same basin. Generally once storms produce sustained wind speeds of more than 65 km/h (40 mph), names are assigned in order from predetermined lists, depending on which basin it originates. However, standards vary from basin to basin: some tropical depressions are named in the Western Pacific, while tropical cyclones must have a significant amount of gale-force winds occurring around the centre, before they are named in the Southern Hemisphere.

Before the formal start of naming, tropical cyclones were named after places, objects, or saints' feast days on which they occurred. The credit for the first usage of personal names for weather systems is generally given to the Queensland Government Meteorologist Clement Wragge, who named systems between 1887 and 1907. This system of naming weather systems subsequently fell into disuse for several years after Wragge retired, until it was revived in the latter part of World War II for the Western Pacific. Formal naming schemes and naming lists have subsequently been introduced and developed for the North Atlantic, Eastern, Central, Western and Southern Pacific basins as well as the Australian region and Indian Ocean.

Before the formal start of naming, tropical cyclones were named after places, objects, or saints' feast days on which they occurred.[8] The credit for the first usage of personal names for weather systems is generally given to the Queensland Government Meteorologist Clement Wragge, who named systems between 1887 and 1907.[8] This system of naming weather systems subsequently fell into disuse for several years after Wragge retired, until it was revived in the latter part of World War II for the Western Pacific.[8] Formal naming schemes have subsequently been introduced for the North Atlantic, Eastern, Central, Western and Southern Pacific basins as well as the Australian region and Indian Ocean.[8]

At present tropical cyclones are officially named by one of eleven warning centers and retain their names throughout their lifetimes to provide ease of communication between forecasters and the general public regarding forecasts, watches, and warnings.[9] Since the systems can last a week or longer and more than one can be occurring in the same basin at the same time, the names are thought to reduce the confusion about what storm is being described.[9] Names are generally assigned in order from predetermined lists, once they produce one, three, or ten-minute sustained wind speeds of more than 65 km/h (40 mph).[1][4][5] However, standards vary from basin to basin, with some systems named in the Western Pacific, when they develop into tropical depressions or enter PAGASA's area of responsibility.[10] Within the Southern Hemisphere systems have to have a significant amount of gale-force winds occurring around the center before they are named.[5][6]

Any member of the World Meteorological Organization's hurricane, typhoon and tropical cyclone committees, can request that the name of a tropical cyclone be retired or withdrawn from the various tropical cyclone naming lists.[1][2][6] A name is retired or withdrawn if a consensus or majority of members agree that the system has acquired a special notoriety, such as causing a large amount of deaths, damages, impacts or for other special reasons.[1] A replacement name is then submitted to the committee concerned and voted upon but these names can be rejected and replaced with another name for various reasons.[1][2] These reasons include the spelling and pronunciation of the name, the similarity to the name of a recent tropical cyclone or on another list of names and the length of the name for modern communication channels such as social media.[1][11] PAGASA also retires the names of significant tropical cyclones, when they have caused at least ₱1 billion in damage and/or have caused at least 300 deaths.[12]

North Atlantic

Within the North Atlantic Ocean, tropical or subtropical cyclones are named by the National Hurricane Center (NHC/RSMC Miami), when they are judged to have intensified into a tropical storms with winds of at least 34 knots (39 mph; 63 km/h).[1] There are six lists of names which rotate every six years and begin with the first letters A — W used, skipping Q and U, and alternating between male and female names.[1] The names of significant tropical cyclones are retired from the lists, with a replacement name selected at the next World Meteorological Organization's Hurricane Committee meeting.[1] If all of the names on a list are used, storms are named after the letters of the Greek alphabet.[1]

Eastern Pacific Ocean

Hurricane Blas during peak intensity on early July 2016

Within the Eastern Pacific Ocean there are two warning centers that assign names to tropical cyclones on behalf of the World Meteorological Organization, when they are judged to have intensified into a tropical storm with winds of at least 34 kn (39 mph; 63 km/h).[1] Tropical cyclones that intensify into tropical storms between the coast of Americas and 140°W are named by the National Hurricane Center (NHC/RSMC Miami), while tropical cyclones intensifying into tropical storms between 140°W and 180° are named by the Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC/RSMC Honolulu).[1] Significant tropical cyclones have their names retired from the lists and a replacement name selected at the next World Meteorological Organization Hurricane Committee.[1]

North Pacific east of 140°W

When a tropical depression intensifies into a tropical storm to the north of the Equator between the coastline of the Americas and 140°W then it will be named by the NHC. There are six lists of names which rotate every six years and begin with the letters A — Z used, with each name being either a male or a female name.[1] The names of significant tropical cyclones are retired from the lists, with a replacement name selected at the next World Meteorological Organization's Hurricane Committee.[1] If all of the names on a list are used, storms are named using the letters of the Greek alphabet.[1]

Western Pacific Ocean (180° to 100°E)

Typhoon Chaba during peak intensity on early October 2016

Tropical cyclones that occur within the Northern Hemisphere between the anti-meridian and 100°E, are officially named by the Japan Meteorological Agency when they become tropical storms.[2] However, PAGASA also names tropical cyclones that occur or develop into tropical depressions, within their self-defined area of responsibility between 5°N–25°N and 115°E-135°E.[10] This often results in tropical cyclones in the region having two names.[10]

International names

Tropical cyclones within the Western Pacific are assigned international names by the JMA, when they become a tropical storm with 10-minute sustained winds of at least 34 kn (39 mph; 63 km/h).[2] The names are used sequentiality without regard to year and are taken from five lists of names that were prepared by the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee, after each of the 14 members submitted 10 names in 1998.[2] The order of the names to be used was determined, by placing the English name of the member in alphabetical order.[2] Members of the committee are allowed to request the retirement or replacement of a systems name, if it causes extensive destruction or for other reasons such as number of deaths.[2]

Philippines

Typhoon Butchoy (Nepartak) approaching Taiwan in July 2016

Since 1963, PAGASA has independently operated its own naming scheme for tropical cyclones, that occur within its own self-defined Philippine Area of Responsibility.[10][15] The names are taken from four different lists of 25 names and are assigned, when a system moves into or develops into a tropical depression within PAGASAs self-defined area of responsibility.[10][15] The four lists of names are rotated every four years, with the names of significant tropical cyclones retired, should they have caused at least 1 billion in damage and or at least 300 deaths within the Philippines.[15][16] Should the list of names for a given year be exhausted, names are taken from an auxiliary list, the first ten of which are published every year.[15]

South-West Indian Ocean (Africa – 90°E)

Cyclone Fantala at peak strength in April 2016, the strongest tropical cyclone within the basin in terms of sustained winds

Within the South-West Indian Ocean in the Southern Hemisphere between Africa and 90°E, a tropical or subtropical disturbance is named, when it is judged to have intensified into a tropical storms with winds of at least 34 kn (39 mph; 63 km/h).[5][19] This is defined as being when gales are either observed or estimated to be present near a significant portion of the systems center.[5] Systems are named in conjunction with Météo-France Reunion by either Météo Madagascar or the Mauritius Meteorological Service.[5] If a disturbance reaches the naming stage between Africa and 55°E then Météo Madagascar will name it, while if it reaches the naming stage between 55°E and 90°E then the Mauritius Meteorological Service names it.[5] The names are taken from three pre-determined lists of names, which rotate on a triennial basis, with any names that have been used automatically removed.[5] The names that are going to be used during a season are selected in advance by the World Meteorological Organization's RA I Tropical Cyclone Committee, from names submitted by member countries.[5]

Australian Region (90°E – 160°E)

Within the Australian region in the Southern Hemisphere between 90°E – 160°E, a tropical cyclone is named when observations and/or Dvorak intensity analysis indicate that a system has gale force or stronger winds near the center which are forecast to continue.[6] The Indonesian Badan Meteorologi, Klimatologi, dan Geofisika names systems that develop between the Equator and 10°S and 90°E and 141°E, while Papua New Guinea's National Weather Service names systems that develop between the Equator and 10°S and 141°E and 160°E.[6] Outside of these areas the Australian Bureau of Meteorology names systems that develop into tropical cyclones.[6] The name assigned to a tropical cyclone that causes loss of life and/or significant damage and disruption to the way of life of a community, then the name assigned to that cyclone is retired from the list of names for the region.[6] A replacement name is then submitted to the next World Meteorological Organization's RA V Tropical Cyclone Committee meeting.[6][11]

Indonesia
