it is odd that they would list the 10-yr thing on a noaa site - probably put there by a lawyer, to cover all behinds (no offense LawKat:) can you even imagine Katrina being used in 2016??? or any bad one for that matter, being recycled - they would get even more crap than they will likely get over the 0% chance thingy !!!
this part of their op manual made me read it thrice... and I still get confused
"The following rules apply for tropical cyclones passing from basin to another: the name will be retained if a tropical cyclone passes from one basin into another basin as a tropical cyclone, i.e. advisories are continuous. An unnamed tropical depression will also retain its number (e.g. Tropical Depression Six E remains Tropical Depression Six E) if it crosses into another basin.
Within a basin, if the remnant of a tropical cyclone redevelops into a tropical cyclone, it is assigned its original number or name. If the remnants of a former tropical cyclone regenerate in a new basin, the regenerated tropical cyclone will be given a new designation." |
