Everyone is right: 1. It is indeed impossible to compare; 2. Different sources give different names. But the cause and effect relationship is not entirely determined by the source of the wind. Let me say a few words.
First, let’s clarify some issues:
1. Chinese and English issues.
Cyclones: Cyclones
Typhoon: Typhoon
Hurricane: Hurricane
2. About the source of the information I mentioned (Baidu Knows System I am not allowed to give a link, otherwise my answer will not be published, and it will be useless to complain, so please search it yourself): Q&A published by the World Meteorological Organization in October 2010 (can be regarded as a written definition)
Then , let’s translate and explain what the World Meteorological Organization says:
1. Hurricanes, cyclones and typhoons all refer to specific tropical cyclones with maximum sustained wind speeds exceeding 119 kilometers/hour near the center of such tropical cyclones;< /p>
2. World Meteorological Organization Q&A:
English version:
What is the difference between “hurricane”, “cyclone” and “typhoon”?
p>
"Hurricane", "cyclone" and "typhoon" are different terms for the same weather phenomenon which is accompanied by torrential rain and maximum sustained wind speeds (near center) exceeding 119 kilometers per hour:
< p>In the western North Atlantic, central and eastern North Pacific, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico, such a weather phenomenon is called "hurricanes".In the western North Pacific, it is called "typhoons" .
In the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea, it is called "cyclones".
In western South Pacific and southeast India Ocean, it is called “severe tropical cyclones.”< /p>
In the southwest India Ocean, it is called “tropical cyclones.”
Chinese translation:
What do “hurricane”, “cyclone” and “typhoon” mean? different?
"Hurricane", "cyclone" and "typhoon" are different names for the same weather phenomenon. This weather phenomenon is characterized by heavy rains and maximum sustained wind speeds exceeding 119 km/h near the center:
In the northwest Pacific, central and eastern Pacific, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, this kind of weather The phenomenon is called a "hurricane."
In the northwest Pacific, this weather phenomenon is called a "typhoon."
In the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea, this weather phenomenon is called a "cyclone".
In the southwest Pacific and southeastern Indian Ocean, this weather phenomenon is called a "severe tropical cyclone."
In the southwest Indian Ocean, this weather phenomenon is called a "tropical cyclone."
3. Why is there such trouble?
The main reason is that meteorological organizations and weather stations around the world have independently developed their own naming systems and translated them into different English words. As a result, when the World Meteorological Organization organized everyone together, they found that there was a problem. However, each meteorological organization has its own history. Unification is not inappropriate, but simply impossible. If we want to change it, our own meteorological records, systems, personnel training, etc. are really not worth it. In addition, the earth is so big that different weather stations need to monitor different sea areas, so no one can abandon it and everyone needs to work together. So what are the major meteorological organizations and weather stations in the world?
First of all, there are six Regional Special Meteorological Centers (RSMC) and six Tropical Cyclone Warning Centers (TCWC), responsible for monitoring different regions:
North Pacific, Northeast Pacific, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico: RSMC Miami-Hurricane Center/NOAA/NWS National Hurricane Center, USA.
Northwestern Pacific and South China Sea: RSMC Tokyo-Typhoon Center/Japan Meteorological Agency.
Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea: RSMC-tropical cyclones New Delhi/India Meteorological Department.
Southwest Indian Ocean: RSMC La Réunion-Tropical Cyclone Center/Météo-France
Southwest Pacific: RSMC Nadi -Tropical Cyclone Center/Fiji Meteorological Service
Central and South Pacific: RSMC Honolulu-Hurricane Center/NOAA/NWS, USA.
Southeast Indian Ocean: TCWC-Perth/Bureau of Meteorology (Western Australia region), Australia
Sea of ??Arafura and Gulf of Carpenteria: TCWC-Darwin/Bureau of Meteorology, Australia
Coral Sea: TCWC-Brisbane/Bureau of Meteorology, Australia
p>Solomon Sea and Gulf of Papua: TCWC-Port Moresby/National Weather Service, Papua New Guinea
Tasman Sea: TCWC-Wellington/Meteorological Service of New Zealand, Ltd.
< p>TCWC-Jakarta/ Indonesian Meteorological and Geophysical Agency, IndonesiaOf course, other meteorological organizations are involved in the work, such as China (Hong Kong), Switzerland, etc.
4. Can you come up with a unified statement?
Yes, to put it simply, it depends on the wind speed. The World Meteorological Organization has guiding principles for measuring wind speed, and the World Meteorological Organization has always been concerned about and committed to unifying the measurement results of various meteorological centers, so it is hardcore. standard. So in summary, for the original poster's question: As long as you see "typhoon" or "hurricane", you know it is very strong. As for the specific situation, just look at the wind speed, don't be confused by the name.
