Note surrounding the names: 1979-80

Trove has found a newspaper article in the Papua New Guinea Post-Courier from November 2, 1979 entitled "Getting ready for... Cyclones" by Mel Gavera which provides various information on tropical cyclones in the PNG AOR. This states that a system is named when it is probably producing winds of 35 kts in their AOR and that a fresh list of names was developed each year. It also includes a list of names for their area of responsibility in 1979-80, which consisted of Kas, Lena, Mike, Noe, Owen, Peso, Rob, Suzy, Tau and Ali.Jason Rees (talk) 21:58, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
