Starting from 65438+1 October1in 2020, the scientific name of typhoon, that is, tropical cyclone number, will continue to be used internally, while common names will be used for the media and the public, such as Hagupit, Rose, Mikla and Haigaosi this year.
So what are these common names based on and what are the principles when naming them?
This is a naming table for the Typhoon Committee. There are 140 names in the naming table. It is provided by Cambodia, China, North Korea, Hongkong, China, Macau, China, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Micronesia (Federated States of), the Philippines, South Korea, Thailand, the United States and Vietnam in the Asia-Pacific region, with the names 10 respectively. Each name requires a maximum of 9 letters, which is easy to pronounce, has no bad meaning in the member language and will not bring any difficulties to the members. After the names of non-commercial organizations meet the above requirements and are unanimously recognized by all members, each member can translate the naming table into the local language according to the pronunciation or meaning, so as to avoid unnecessary confusion caused by different translated names.
According to this nomenclature, the name of Typhoon No.8 in 2020 is Bavi, the English name is Bavi, and the number is 2008. This name comes from Vietnam, which means the name of a mountain in northern Vietnam.
Because 140 typhoon names are recycled, each name may have a past life, such as this one? Eight dimensions? The last appearance was on March 5, 20 12, and it landed on the coast of Rota Island in the Northern Mariana Islands on March 510/and weakened and dissipated in the future.
