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. 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 which storm is being described. The practice of using names to identify tropical cyclones goes back many years, with systems named after places or things they hit before the formal start of naming. 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. Names are assigned in order from predetermined lists with one, three, or ten-minute sustained wind speeds of more than 65 km/h (40 mph) depending on which basin it originates. However, standards vary from basin to basin with some tropical depressions named in the Western Pacific, while tropical cyclones have to have a significant amount of gale-force winds occurring around the center before they are named within the Southern Hemisphere.

The practice of using names to identify tropical cyclones goes back many years, with systems named after places or things they hit before the formal start of naming.[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 assigned in order from predetermined lists with one, three, or ten-minute sustained wind speeds of more than 65 km/h (40 mph) depending on which basin it originates.[1][4][5] However, standards vary from basin to basin with some tropical depressions named in the Western Pacific, while tropical cyclones have to have a significant amount of gale-force winds occurring around the center before they are named within the Southern Hemisphere.[10][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 tropical cyclone has acquired a special notoriety, such as causing a large amount of deaths, damages, impacts or for other special reasons.[1] Any tropical cyclone names assigned by the Papua New Guinea National weather Service are automatically retired regardless of any damage caused.[6] 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] There are no names retired within the South-West Indian Ocean, as names are generally not used more than once and fresh naming lists are developed each year.[5][13] Tropical cyclone formation is rare within the Mediterranean Sea and to the east of 120W in the Southern Pacific, as a result there are no naming lists for these areas.

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 Patricia in 2015, the most intense system in the East Pacific Basin

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 knots (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]

Central North Pacific (140°W to 180°)

When a tropical depression intensifies into a tropical storm to the north of the Equator between 140°W and 180° it is named by the CPHC.[1] Four lists of Hawaiian names are maintained by the World Meteorological Organization's hurricane committee, rotating without regard to year, with the first name for a new year being the next name in sequence that was not used the previous year.[1] Significant tropical cyclones have their names retired from the lists, with a replacement name selected at the next Hurricane Committee meeting.[1]

Western Pacific Ocean (180° to 100°E)

Typhoon Damrey in 2000, the first name to be assigned by the JMA

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, The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (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 Hanna (Soudelor) approaching Taiwan in 2015

Since 1963, PAGASA has independently operated its own naming scheme for tropical cyclones, that occur within its own self-defined Philippine Area of Responsibility.[16][10] 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.[16][10] 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.[16][17] 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.[16]

North Indian Ocean (45°E – 100°E)

Cyclone Chapala over in the Arabian Sea at peak strength during late-October 2015

Within the North Indian Ocean between 45°E – 100°E, tropical cyclones are named by the India Meteorological Department (IMD/RSMC New Delhi), when they are judged to have intensified into a cyclonic storm with 3-minute sustained wind speeds of at least 34 knots (39 mph; 63 km/h).[18] There are eight lists of names which are used in sequence and are not rotated every few years, however, the names of significant tropical cyclones are retired.[19]

Within the South-West Indian Ocean in the Southern Hemisphere between Africa and 90°E, a tropical or subtropical disturbance is named when it develops into a moderate tropical storm using a name from a predetermined list.[5][13] This is defined as being when gales are either observed or estimated to be present near a significant portion of the systems center.[5] Within this basin it is the Mauritius Meteorological Services and Météo Madagascar who name the systems, in conjunction with Météo-France, Reunion. (MFR, RSMC La Reunion).[5] If the system becomes a moderate tropical storm between Africa and 55°E then Météo Madagascar will name it, while if it becomes a tropical storm between 55°E and 90°E then the Mauritius Meteorological Service names it.[5] New naming lists are developed every year while a name is generally only used once, as a result there are no names retired within this basin.[5][13]

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]

If a system intensifies into a tropical cyclone between the Equator – 10°S and 141°E – 160°E, then it will be named by Papua New Guinea National Weather Service (NWS, TCWC Port Moresby).[6] Names are assigned in sequence from list A and are automatically retired after being used regardless of any damage caused.[6] List B contains names that will replace names on list A that are retired or removed for other reasons.[6]

Australia

Severe Tropical Cyclone Bruce was the first tropical cyclone to retain its name when moving into the South-West Indian Ocean basin

When a system develops into a tropical cyclone below 10°S between 90°E and 160°E, then it will be named by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) which operates three Tropical Cyclone Warning Centres in Perth, Darwin, or Brisbane.[6] The names are assigned in alphabetical order and used in rotating order without regard to year.[6][11]

Southern Pacific Ocean (160°E – 120°W)

Cyclone Pam in March 2015, the strongest tropical cyclone in the South Pacific according to wind speeds

Within the Southern Pacific basin in the Southern Hemisphere between 160°E – 120°W, 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 Fiji Meteorological Service (FMS/RSMC Nadi) names systems that located between the Equator and 25°S, while the Meteorological Service of New Zealand (MetService, TCWC Wellington) names systems in conjunction with RSMC Nadi that are located to the south of 25°S.[6] If a tropical cyclone 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] The name of a tropical cyclone is determined by using Lists A — D in order, without regard to year before restarting with List A.[6]
