Pacific Typhoon Names (Garfield)

International names
Tropical cyclones within the Western Pacific are assigned international names by the JMA when they become a tropical storm with 10-minute sustained winds of at least 40 miles per hour. The names are used sequentially without regard to year and are taken from five lists of names that were prepared by the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee, after each of the 14 members submitted 10 names in 1998. The order of the names to be used was determined by placing the English name of the members in alphabetical order. Members of the committee are allowed to request the retirement of a system's name if it causes extensive destruction or for other reasons such as number of deaths.

These names will go along with Garfield's Typhoon seasons. Names that are retired will be replaced with names determined by Garfield. This is not a reference for the real typhoon names.
