Typhoon non-standard name[edit]

What's the deal with typhoon naming conventions? How does a typhoon originating in Saipan manage to get named in Korean? And then sequentially is renamed (or overnamed?) in (I'm guessing) Tagalog? If its going to be given a series of names based on the areas it careens into, it might as well be called Nabi-Jolina-Juuyongo, suffixing the name given by the Japanese meaning 'number 14'.

From http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/B2.html "Beginning on 1 January 2000, tropical cyclones in the Northwest Pacific basin are named from a new and very different list of names. The new names are Asian names and were contributed by all the nations and territories that are members of the WMO's Typhoon Committee. The new names will be allotted to developing tropical storms by the Tokyo Typhoon Centre of the Japanese Meteorological Agency which is the RSMC for the basin." Kind of odd in that the Japanese Meteorological Agency assigns the names, then doesn't use the name for Japanese purposes. Robaato 08:03, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The "official" name is Nabi, and we should leave it at that. I think that just mentioning that it is referred to as "Jolina" in the Philippines and "#14" in Japan is enough. Robaato 17:38, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

From what I've been able to source it seems the Philippines have been using their own naming convention since the 1960's because they name Tropical Depressions and no one else does. Also they feel having their own name better alerts their population that this is a storm that could threaten them. It's confusing but given that Tropical Depressions can and do cause tremendous mud slides in the Philippines their naming convention will be competing with the International one for the foreseeable future. The main page for the season should probably display both names with each storm [i.e. Typhoon Nabi(Jolina)]. A seperate page in English dealing with one storm should probably only use the International name as this page does. Then in fine print can mention it's also Jolina. skywayman 00:05, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Todo[edit]

I know there's a lot more info on this... Jdorje 03:01, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge[edit]

This storm is not notable enough. Super typhoons plunge below 900mb, hit Japan, and kill 21 people all the time. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 00:58, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Completely agreed. Yes for merge. Hurricanehink 01:05, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
No objection from here. Just make sure all the important info gets put into the season article. — jdorje (talk) 02:14, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. Madeline said it best. Shall I fetch the axe? -- §HurricaneERIC§Damagesarchive 02:17, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good. Hurricanehink 02:20, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • " By contrast, the JMA estimated peak 10 minute winds of 175 km/h (110 mph) on September 2." who the hec id the JMa? I know, but the average American may not. YE Pacific Hurricane 18:43, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The typhoon first affected the Northern Marianas Islands, where it left $2.5 million (USD) in damage,[nb 1] after damaging or destroying 114 homes." change "after" to "while", since "after" just does not sound right, given the fact the $2.5 million is part of the damage total. YE Pacific Hurricane 18:43, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • "1 minute winds of 260 km/h (160 mph); this is the equivalent of a Category 5 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. " change "Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale" to "Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale". YE Pacific Hurricane 18:43, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • "and the airport was closed, stranding about 1,000 travelers.[17]" were these evacuated? Why are they together with the evacuation part of the sentence then? YE Pacific Hurricane 18:43, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Later in its duration, Nabi brushed southeastern South Korea with rainbands.[2]" link to rainbands here. YE Pacific Hurricane 18:43, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • " A total of 630 m3 (2,066 ft3) of driftwood was recorded.[56]" what is driftwood? YE Pacific Hurricane 18:43, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Very very good Hink, I swear. YE Pacific Hurricane 18:43, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
