How the modern naming system for tropical storms formed
Have you wondered why typhoons or hurricanes are given people’s names? In the beginning, tropical storms were usually named according to the time when they occurred or the locations where they struck. It wasn’t __1__ the 1890s that Clement Wragge, an Australian meteorologist, started naming storms with people’s names. This practice expanded during World War II. At that time, meteorologists found it much easier to simply name storms by using people’s names instead of their latitude and longitude. Names were also easier to send over the radio, __2__ when more than one storm was in the same area.
