ನಾವು ಅಟ್ಲಾಂಟಿಕ್ ಚಂಡಮಾರುತದ ಹೆಸರುಗಳನ್ನು ಕಳೆದುಕೊಂಡರೆ ಏನಾಗುತ್ತದೆ?

ದಿ 2020 Atlantic hurricane season is off to a record-setting begin, and at its present tempo, the tropical storm rely could outnumber the listing of 21 names which might be used to establish programs — one thing that has occurred just one different time in recorded historical past.

As of Thursday, ಸೆ. 3, there have been 15 named tropical programs within the Atlantic basin and one unnamed tropical melancholy, properly above common for this level within the season. ಕೆಲವೊಮ್ಮೆ, there are simply 12 named storms in a whole season.

With so many storms earlier than the height of the Atlantic hurricane season, which is Sept. 10, it’s trying increasingly possible that forecasters could have to make use of a distinct system to call tropical programs.

The names which might be given to tropical storms and hurricanes within the Atlantic basin are determined years in advance by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).

“The observe of naming storms (tropical cyclones) started years in the past with a purpose to assist in the short identification of storms in warning messages as a result of names are presumed to be far simpler to recollect than numbers and technical phrases,” the WMO defined.

The listing of names is alphabetical, beginning with A each season; nevertheless, it doesn’t include names for all 26 letters. Forecasters skip over the letters Q, ಯು, X, Y and Z because of the only a few names that start with these letters.

After the final identify on the listing is used, the way in which that storms are named modifications considerably.

It is vitally uncommon for there to be greater than 21 named storms in a single season, however there’s a set of pointers in place for such an event.

“Within the occasion that greater than twenty-one named tropical cyclones happen within the Atlantic basin in a season, additional storms will take names from the Greek alphabet,” the Nationwide Hurricane Heart stated.

Because of this the twenty second named storm could be named after the primary letter within the Greek alphabet, Alpha, adopted by the second letter, Beta, and so forth. In all, there are 24 letters within the Greek alphabet that can be utilized.

Since naming tropical storms and hurricanes started throughout the mid-1900s, there was just one yr the place there have been greater than 21 named storms in a single hurricane season.

The infamous 2005 Atlantic hurricane season spawned a record-breaking 28 named storms. A number of storms strengthened into historic hurricanes, together with Katrina, Rita and Wilma that yr. “The season marked the first time that meteorologists had to resort to the use of the Greek alphabet for the naming of tropical cyclones,” the WMO stated.

In July, AccuWeather meteorologists had been forecasting a hyperactive Atlantic hurricane season with up to 24 named storms, and that prediction is on observe to return to fruition.

At this level, there’s a robust probability that each single identify is used this hurricane season after which some. AccuWeather meteorologists are already busy monitoring potential areas for development far out within the basin.

Solely six names stay for use earlier than forecasters need to faucet into the Greek alphabet: Paulette, Rene, Sally, Teddy, Vicky and Wilfred.

If the Greek alphabet must be utilized in 2020, it will comply with the identical listing as 2005, beginning with Alpha. That is much like how most names are reused each few years, until the identify is retired.

Nevertheless, there’s one large distinction between the standard names and the Greek alphabet: Letters of the Greek alphabet which might be used for tropical programs can’t be retired.

“If a major storm designated by a letter of the Greek Alphabet, in both the Atlantic or jap North Pacific Basin, had been thought of worthy of being ‘retired,’ it will be included within the listing of retired names with the yr of prevalence and different particulars, however that individual letter within the Greek Alphabet would proceed to be obtainable to be used sooner or later,” the WMO defined.

Even when the Atlantic hurricane season ends on Nov. 30, there’s nonetheless the prospect that one or two tropical programs might develop earlier than 2020 involves a detailed.

Close to the tip of 2005, following a historic hurricane season, Tropical Storm Zeta took shape in the far eastern Atlantic Ocean on Dec. 30. Zeta lingered over the open waters of the Atlantic Ocean till Jan. 7, 2006, earlier than it dissipated. Zeta was the sixth storm to be given a reputation from the Greek alphabet that yr.

After the calendar flips to 2021, the following tropical system within the Atlantic basin might be named Ana.
