North Atlantic
In 1950 tropical cyclones within the North Atlantic Ocean that were judged to have intensified into a tropical storm A tropical cyclone is a storm system characterized by a large low-pressure center and numerous thunderstorms that produce strong winds and heavy rain. Tropical cyclones feed on heat released when moist air rises, resulting in condensation of water vapor contained in the moist air. They are fueled by a different heat mechanism than other cyclonic, with winds of more than 65 km, (40 mph), started to be assigned names. Initially the names were assigned from the Phonetic Alphabet The Joint Army/Navy Phonetic Alphabet was a radio alphabet developed in 1941 and was used by all branches of the United States military until the promulgation of the NATO phonetic alphabet in 1956, which replaced it. Before the Joint Army/Navy (JAN) phonetic alphabet, each branch of the armed forces used its own radio alphabet, leading to, this practise lasted until the start of the 1953 season when the practice of using women’s names was introduced. This convention continued until 1979 when the World Meteorological Organization The World Meteorological Organization is an intergovernmental organization with a membership of 188 Member States and Territories. It originated from the International Meteorological Organization (IMO), which was founded in 1873. Established in 1950, WMO became the specialised agency of the United Nations for meteorology (weather and climate),'s RA IV Hurricane Committee started to decide which names would be used each season with the most damaging names being retired This is a list of retired Atlantic hurricane names. Hurricane names are retired by the World Meteorological Organization in a meeting in March, April, or May of each year. Those hurricanes that have their names retired tend to be exceptionally destructive storms that often become household names in the regions they affected. The process of. The WMO also decided that there would be six annual lists of cyclone names, consisting off both men's and women's names used alternately, with names coming from the English, French and Spanish Languages. In 2002 subtropical storms started to be assigned names before in 2005 the contingency plan of using Greek letters for names once the main list was exhausted had to be used.[1]
