junior science refresher magazine Published this article page no 131 Weather forecasters give each tropical cyclone a name to avoid confusion. Each year tropical cyclones receive names in alphabetical order. Women and mens names are alternated. The name list is proposed by the National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) of WMO Members of a specific region and approved by the respective tropical cyclone regional bodies at their annual/ bi-annual sessions. Nations in the western North Pacific began using a new system for naming tropical cyclones in 2000. T Tropical Cyclones There is a strict procedure to determine a list of tropical cyclone names in an ocean basin by the Tropical Cyclone Regional Body responsible for that basin at its annual/biennial meeting. There are five tropical cyclone regional bodies i.e. ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee WMO/ESCAP Panel on Tropical Cyclones RA I Tropical Cyclone Committee RA IV Hurricane Committee and RA V Tropical Cyclone Committee. For instance Hurricane Committee determines a pre-designated list of hurricane names for six years separately at its annual session. The pre-designated list of hurricane names are proposed by its Members that include National Meteorological and Hydrological Services in the North/Central America and the Caribbean. Naming procedures in other regions are almost the same as in the Caribbean. junior science refresher magazine
