From Dr Masters blog:
Regarding Hurricane Kilo-- as it moved across the international date line.
It's a hurricane! It's a typhoon! It's both! Dan Lindsey (CIRA) posted this tongue-in-cheek analysis of Kilo, using a visible image from Japan's Himiwari-8 satellite, as the storm straddled the International Date Line on September 1, 2015. Hurricanes are reclassified as typhoons when they move west across the Date Line. The Sydney Morning News asked whether Kilo should be called a "hurriphoon" or a "typhane." Kilo was officially reclassified from Hurricane Kilo to Typhoon Kilo at 0600 GMT on September 1.
