How do scientist gives hurricane a name ?

Question

name like Katrina, Dolly, etc

Answer 1

In addition to all that information, i believe that each name, unless retired due to it being catastophic, is used about every 6 years because each list of names for the year is cycled.

Answer 2

They think of them off of the top of their head. A pre-determined list is used for a hurricane season. The list starts from A and goes to Z. Some letters are excluded because there are no associated names. If the English alphabet is depleted, then the Greek alphabet is used. It starts from Alpha and goes all the way to Omega. Because there is a finite number of names, many are used more than once. There are names that are retired because of a record they broke or something like that.

Answer 3

I live in South Florida where the National Hurricane Center is.  I heard that the names are chosen by the staff that work there. By putting family members names in a hat and choosing randomly.

Answer 4

I thinks its by random.

Answer 5

Yeah, I just told my husband I was writing the weather man because my name never has been used yet.

Answer 6

The scientists name hurricanes from a two separate, guy and girl names list so when an hurricane is spotted they name it the next name on the list and when another hurricane comes they name the next name on the other genders list like the first hurricane could be called ‘Hurricane Mark and the the second will be called ‘Hurricane Mary.’ You get the general picture. but this is only for american and english and other well-known names so if your name is not one of them i dont think a hurricane will be named after you

Answer 7

Hurricanes are given names to distinguish between weather systems that may exist in a region at the same time.Beginning in 1953,female names were routinely used.In 1975 Australia became the first country to use male names as well.The USA followed suit in 1978,using alternate male and female names.For Atlantic storms,names are alloted alphabetically starting each year at A;they rarely get beyond M.In the North Pacific,they are named from A to Z.
