Further information: List of retired Atlantic hurricane names.

[edit] Names effective 1971-1978

The following names were scheduled to be used between 1971 and 1980.[1] Introduced in 1971, these lists were to be rotated every ten years. They remained in use only through 1978, when a new set of six lists containing both male and female names was adopted, to begin the following year. Consequently, the lists for 1979 and 1980 were never used. The names Agnes, Carmen, Fifi, Eloise and Anita were retired from these lists.

[edit] Japan

In the Japanese press, numbers are preferred over names. Typhoon names fell out of general use after the end of the US occupation. Typhoons are numbered successively each year. So Typhoon Mawar, which made landfall over Tokyo in August 2005, was known locally as taifuu 11. In scientific use this is combined with a year number (T0511 for the eleventh typhoon of 2005). Official documents use the year in the Japanese calendar (Heisei 17 taifuu 11). In addition eight especially significant typhoons were named by Japan Meteorological Agency according to the area where they caused most damage.[1]

Significant Typhoons with Special Names
(from the Japan Meteorological Agency)

Marie T5415 Toyamaru Typhoon
Ida T5822 Kanogawa Typhoon
Sarah T5914 Miyakojima Typhoon
Vera T5915 Isewan Typhoon
Nancy T6118 2nd Muroto Typhoon
Cora T6618 2nd Miyakojima Typhoon
Della T6816 3rd Miyakojima Typhoon
Babe T7709 Okinoerabu Typhoon

[edit] Philippines

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) uses its own naming scheme for tropical cyclones within its area of responsibility, along with the international names used in the Western North Pacific.
