Typhoon is very destructive, accompanied by strong winds, heavy rains, huge waves, storm surges and sometimes tsunamis. It will have a very serious impact on the life and production of coastal people. Although the typhoon is scary, people give it nice names, such as Mangosteen, Jade Rabbit, Haiyan, Butterfly and now Rhododendron.
What's so particular about the name of tropical storm? According to the regulations of international management, the maximum wind force near the center of tropical cyclone reaches 12 or above, which is called typhoon; 10 ~ 1 1 is called a severe tropical storm; 8 ~ 9, called a tropical storm; Below 8 is called tropical depression. Typhoons and tropical storms mostly occur in the northwest Pacific. The Asian countries affected mainly include China, Japanese, Philippine, Vietnamese and Indonesian.
Typhoon naming rules come from the joint typhoon warning center, the US military during World War II. At first, the names of men and women were named alternately. However, since 2000, the names of typhoons and tropical storms have been changed to the Typhoon Committee of the World Meteorological Organization. The naming of typhoons and tropical storms in the northwest Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea is the responsibility of the Japan Meteorological Agency, which mainly adopts the method of year+serial number. For example, the number of this tropical storm cuckoo is 2 10 1, which is the tropical storm No.0 1 of 202 1. Typhoon is named in Chinese, and 140 names are provided by14 member countries and regions in the Asia-Pacific region, which are used repeatedly in sequence. Du Fu is one of the names of 10 provided by China.
Although the typhoon has a beautiful name, its destructive power is still great. With the increase of typhoon level, the greater the destructive power of typhoon, the casualties and economy will increase at any time.
