Outline · [ Standard ] · Linear+ Uraganul Katrina, Fenomenele meteo au nume de oameni?!

Vad la TV diferite stiri despre "Uraganul Katrina". E foarte ciudat ca la americani, fenomenele meteo au nume de oameni. Cum ar fi fost ca si la noi, inundatiile sa fi avut nume, si pina acum sa fi trecut prin: - Inundatia Maria - Inundatia Vasile - Inundatia Gigica - Cutremurul Veta Ce ziceti de chestia asta? Are sens sa dam nume la fenomenele meteo?

- Inundatia Maria
- Inundatia Vasile
- Inundatia Gigica
- Cutremurul Veta

Ce ziceti de chestia asta? Are sens sa dam nume la fenomenele meteo?

Dar ce nume vrei sa puna? De animale? Uraganu' Porcu Uraganu' Leu?

Ar fi fain ca primul uragan Made in Romania sa aiba numele Vlad.....Dracul

Sa nu le puna nici un nume! Sa anunte: pe data de cutare, va veni uraganul in zona X!

nu numai ca au nume de oameni (le face mai "umane") dar organizatie feminista "avem tite si ce daca vrea sa fim egale" a protestat cu vreme in urma impotriva faptului ca numele uraganelor erau exclusiv feminine.
Acum organizatia internationala care le boteaza trebuie sa alterneze numele: unul feminin, altul masculin.
Te doare capul...

Bine ca nu au facut ce am zis eu. Sa puna de animale. Ca pe langa organizatie feminista "avem tite si ce daca vrea sa fim egale" ar mai fi venit si organizatia pentru protectia animalelor "Nu stim sa vorbim, dar muscam tare" cu pretentii la fel de absurde.

NU nume ar trebui sa li se puna. O idee mai bune mi se pare " El Nino" sau " La Nina". NU stiu daca asa se scrie... nu stiu spaniola. Pt cei care nu stiu, aceste denumiri exista deja.

Si tot din colectia nume de calamitati mai sunt:

Fred si Mary parca... Da nu sunt sigur.

Explica unul la meteo: se face o lista alfabetica de nume la inceputul anului. Si pe masura ce apar, li se atribuie numele din acea lista de la A...Z. Se pare ca tocmai a trecut K.

eu stiu ca se pun numele dupa urmatoarea ratiune:
daca e puternic si devastator are nume de femeie, si daca e mai usor, domol are nume de barbat (uraganul George, in Florida)

Cum ar suna Uraganul Marghioala sau Tornada Ildico? )

inainte de a le boteza cred ca au fost la o bere

Deci...

The naming process
Naming of tropical cyclones

Storms reaching tropical storm strength (winds exceeding 17 metres per second, 38 mph, or 62 km/h) are given names, to assist in recording insurance claims, to assist in warning people of the coming storm, and to further indicate that these are important storms that should not be ignored. These names are taken from lists which vary from region to region and are drafted a few years ahead of time. The lists are decided upon, depending on the regions, either by committees of the World Meteorological Organization (called primarily to discuss many other issues), or by national weather services involved in the forecasting of the storms.

Each year, the names of particularly destructive storms are "retired" and new names are chosen to take their place.

History of tropical cyclone naming

For several hundred years after the arrival of Europeans in the West Indies, hurricanes there were named after the saint's day on which the storm struck.

The modern method of ascribing people's names to storms was introduced by Clement Wragge, an Anglo-Australian meteorologist at the end of the 19th century. As well as feminine names, he also used the names of politicians who had offended him.

During World War II, tropical cyclones were given feminine names, mainly for the convenience of the forecasters and in a somewhat ad hoc manner. For a few years afterwards, names from the Joint Army/Navy Phonetic Alphabet were used.

The modern naming convention came about in response to the need for unambiguous radio communications with ships and aircraft. As transportation traffic increased and meteorological observations improved in number and quality, several typhoons, hurricanes or cyclones might have to be tracked at any given time. To help in their identification, beginning in 1953 the practice of systematically naming tropical storms and hurricanes was initiated by the United States National Hurricane Center, and is now maintained by the WMO.

In keeping with the common English language practice of referring to inanimate objects such as boats, trains, etc., using the female pronoun "she," names used were exclusively feminine. The first storm of the year was assigned a name beginning with the letter "A", the second with the letter "B", etc. However, since tropical storms and hurricanes are primarily destructive, some considered this practice sexist. The National Weather Service responded to these concerns in 1979 with the introduction of masculine names to the nomenclature. This was also the first year that a list of names was prepared before the season began.

The naming process
The WMO's Regional Association IV Hurricane Committee selects the names for Atlantic Basin and central and eastern Pacific storms.

Currently, in the Atlantic and Eastern North Pacific regions, feminine and masculine names during a given season are assigned alternately, still in alphabetic order. The "gender" of the first storm of the season also alternates year to year. Six lists of names are prepared in advance, and reused on a six-year cycle (a different list is used for each year). Names of storms may be retired at the request of affected countries if they have caused extensive damage to life and property.

In the Central North Pacific region, the name lists are maintained by the Central Pacific Hurricane Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. Four lists of Hawaiian names are selected and used in sequential order without regard to year.

In the Western North Pacific, name lists are maintained by the WMO Typhoon Committee. Five lists of names are used, with each of the 14 nations on the Typhoon Committee submitting two names to each list. Names are used in the order of the countries' English names, sequentially without regard to year. Japan Meteorological Agency uses a secondary naming system in Western North Pacific that numbers a typhoon on the order it formed, resetting on December 31 of every year. The Typhoon Songda in September 2004 is internally called the typhoon number 18 and is recorded as the typhoon 0418 with 04 taken from the year.

The Australian Bureau of Meteorology maintains three lists of names, one for each of the Western, Northern and Eastern Australian regions. There are also Fiji region and Papua New Guinea region names. The Seychelles Meteorological Service maintains a list for the Southwest Indian Ocean.

Deci in curand uraganul Zorro "in the Atlantic and Eastern North Pacific regions"

si have fun cu lista de nume: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_tropical_cyclone_names

Uraganul Gherghina

Baaaai astia sunt mai rau ca politicienii nostri! Nu pot sa cred ca au facut niste comitete si comiţii care sa aleaga nume de uragane
