History of tropical cyclone naming

Tropical cyclone naming has a long history extending back over two (Pavalan) millennia and began independently in several different locales. Today, tropical cyclones are named worldwide according to the Amalthean Meteorological Collaboration's standard for cyclone naming, with each basin using a different list of names relevant to the region.

Amalthea

(consolidate this section with below)

The first known instance in Amalthea of a tropical cyclone being named occurs in the writings of Kareŋi kular peteciniq̌, who observed and recorded detailed logs of the cyclones occurring on Pavala's companion, Haki. His -121 codex paghaša šekvanika describes the typical evolution of such Hakii storms and their paths. He hypothesized that such systems may be related to weather on Pavala due to the similarities he drew between cloud structures seen on Haki and those on Pavala. Kular named these storms after the fourteen(?) traditional deities of uŋítheka.

Later, Auspik people identified cyclonic disturbances that impacted their coastlines, originating from the Serkr Sea. These storms tended to take on the names of the villages or regions they impacted and the year in which they occurred. Eventually, it was proven that the storms affecting Auspikitan and Solea were the same ones observed on Haki since kular. It was not until the advent of globalization and shipping that Soleani meteorologist <someone> decided it would be beneficial to track and identify storms by names of people, animals, and other natural phenomena.

the Soleani Cyclone Center was established

Ganuo-Amalthea

The first known instance in Ganuo or Amalthea of a tropical cyclone being named occurs in the writings of Kular Peteqi, an Auspik living in <a Ganuoan trade city-state>, who travelled the Amalthean continent and the region of Hac-Ganuo for over thirty biennia studying the relationship between presumed atmospheric phenomena on Haki and the weather and climate at different locations on Pavala. Kular developed a theory of meteorology based on these observations, which came to be used across both continents to make short term predictions about future weather simply by observing and recording the sky. These <term> (lit. '<something>'), or early meteorologists, kept records which serve as the basis for historical climatological information used even today. One of the prominent features observed on Haki by these early meteorologists was the tropical cyclone. Kular connected the formation of the phenomenon on Haki to the tropical cyclones of the <Ganuo-Amalthea Sea>. Mariners from Ganuo and Auspikitan who often sailed across the sea separating the two regions encountered cyclones and used Kular and later <meteorologists term>' techniques to identify and avoid approaching cyclones. <meteorologists> of this time understood the general climatology of the basin and that a tropical wave in Auspikitan would potentially become a cyclonic threat as it moved west over the warm waters of the <Ganuo-Amalthea Sea>, but were unable to warn nearby ships and towns of cyclones as a result of technological limitations, namely, the speed of tropical cyclones were significantly faster than the capability of ships. Ganuoan <meteorologists> kept records of the dates and locations of ship encounters and observations of tropical cyclones in the hundreds of years following, data that is now stored in the <Library of Ganuo>. Contemporary <meteorologists> in Auspikitan also recorded the passage of tropical waves and disturbances: information which is indispensable today in understanding past and future climatic variation. Storms of the pre-industrial era were very rarely named in the way they are in modern times. (more on naming lol)

With the advent of steam-powered ships and telegrams came the ability to send information long distances in a relatively short amount of time and with it the beginnings of an early warning system for tropical cyclone hazards. Ships and coastal communities alike considered it valuable to be alerted of approaching tropical systems, and a pan-<Ganuo-Amalthea Sea> warning system began. Cyclones in this region were named and recorded by <officials in Ganuo> with both Ganuoan and Amalthean trading ships reporting valuable information about their intensity and position. <Ganuo> named these storms using the <language> syllabary.

Uqe Ocean

The practice of naming tropical cyclones in eastern Amalthea began in <year>, when Soleani meteorologist <name> decided giving concise and unique names to tropical systems would facilitate warning operations and communication to the general public and other interests. <name> used an alphabetical list of names based on the kapunaki of Solea. Names were generally words relating to the natural world in the Soleani language. The name of the first storm in every year began with a p, the second with a t, the third with a k, in the order of the kapunaki, and so on.

In <some recentish year>, the Amalthean Meteorological Collaboration determined a methodical way for naming cyclones worldwide. switched to a consecutive list with names contributed from different countries/linguistic groups of Amalthea which are affected by tropical cyclones along the eastern coast.
