Brazilian Navy Meteorological Center

The Brazilian Navy Meteorological Center is a Brazilian weather agency that tracks tropical or subtropical cyclones in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean. The agency names storms when considered tropical cyclones, and created their own scale (the BN scale) in 1999. Normally wind speeds are measured by 10-minute sustained winds, unlike the Saffir-Simpson scale. Tropical depressions and disturbances are named with the corresponding number and an "E" suffix, the opposite of the WPAC. A typical season in the Southern Atlantic lasts from December 1 to April 30, spanning two years. There are four naming lists, with this year's list being used back in 2015-16.
