Tropical Cyclone Name Lists

[Jack Beven]

In response to several queries, here are all the names of tropical cyclones
I have available. I have not yet found a complete list of names for the
Southwest Indian Ocean (Madagascar-Mauritius-Reunion region). If anyone has
any further information on that list, or any updates on the others, please
e-mail me at one of the addresses below.

the year with whatever name is next on the list after the last cyclone of the
previous year. When the end of a colum is reached, the next name is the top
name of the other colum.

I'm sorry I don't have a better list than this. The manual I took the names
from, only had the first three lists. The others I put together from my weekly
summaries. Obviously I missed one, and of course the seasons did not go all
the way through the alphabet.


Western North Pacific Names (as of the end of 1991):

These names are used sequentially. If the last storm of the year is
Orchid, the first storm of the next year is Pat. This is directly from the
annual report of the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Manny replaced Mike in
1991. Melissa replaced Mireielle and Teresa replaced Thelma in 1992. Oscar
replaced Omar in 1994.

The names are used one after the other. When the bottom of one list is
reached, the next name is the top of the next list. Keoni was the only Central
