Talk:Hurricane Uleki

Dissipation

I checked on Uleki's dissipation near the dateline since JMA doesn't track TCs or their remnants past the International Dateline. It appears Hal, as an extratropical cyclone, absorbed Uleki around that time. Interesting coincidence. Thegreatdr (talk) 14:29, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

• "also referred to as Typhoon Uleki" - I don't think you need the "to"
• "constituting as its secondary peak" - I don't think you need the "as"
• Could you add a ref in the note for Ulysses being the Hawaiian name for Uleki?
• Any reason you never mention that the system had an eye?
  • No mentions of it in the reports for some reason, only way to mention it would be OR through satellite imagery :/ Cyclonebiskit (talk) 12:37, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
• I'm confused. Did CPHC transfer warning to JTWC before it crossed the dateline? If so, at what latitude, and if not, why do you add the JMA bit as a distinct event? Wouldn't JMA also issue warnings at the same time as JTWC?
  • JTWC took over before it crossed the dateline, yes (which is before the JMA started up). Added the longitude where the JTWC took over. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 12:37, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
• Add a comma to the first sentence of the last MH paragrap
• Per DR, are you sure Uleki dissipated when it crossed the dateline? They only carry storms to the DL and then stop tracking them, so it might not have dissipated then.
  • The JMA will include one coordinate point east of the dateline if it crossed it; for Uleki, their last point is west of the dateline which means it dissipated. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 12:37, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

All in all a good article! Just take care of these and I'll be happy to pass. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:09, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

That should cover everything. Thanks for the review, Hink! Cyclonebiskit (talk) 12:37, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

JMA designation

@Hurricanehink:, why did you remove the JMA designation? I didn't understand what "imperial units" have to do with it, and for Uleki becoming a Hurricane at CPAC, well: Hurricanes John, Genevieve and Ioke all became hurricanes and typhoons, and all have JMA designations. I understand that hurricanes like Ekeka and Dora don't have JMA designations because they were below typhoon status when they entered in WPAC, but that wasn't the case with Uleki.

By JMA designation, it appears you are only talking about what's in the infobox, right? The only thing I changed was making sure basin was EPAC, meaning the imperial units (mph or miles) came before metric. Imperial units are what the U.S. uses btw. As the storm primarily affected Hawaii (which uses miles and imperial), I didn't think it would be controversial. If the article uses imperial units, then so should the infobox. The only thing the infobox does really is show what unit first. The article still shows 10-minute winds. Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 00:06, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

@Hurricanehink: On both hurricanes John, Genevieve and Ioke articles metric units are shown before imperial. And yes, the article shows the 10-minute winds, but there isn't that pink "Typhoon (JMA scale)" bar at the infobox top, which could be kinda misleading. So, I still dont see why JMA designation should be removed. ABC paulista (talk) 00:24, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

Ooh, good point. I'll talk to someone who knows a bit about coding. @Cyclonebiskit: @Jason Rees: @TropicalAnalystwx13: Any of you know how to edit the hurricane infobox so we can add an optional JMA coding for EPAC storms? Ideally it'll have the American units but also the typhoon scale for JMA. Or, alternatively, have an option so it can force American units first despite being in another basin? This would also affect the other articles you mentioned, ABC. I apologize - when I originally reverted, I didn't realize that it added the scale when you changed to WPAC. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:54, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

Best thing to do may be make a |crossover= field or something like that. Or we could add a |units= field, but that'd be more work. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 03:07, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

Main issue here is that Uleki did not reach its peak intensity in the western Pacific, which would lead to misleading information if we were to include the JMA info in the infobox. The JMA peak does not represent the overall peak of the system, which is what the infobox is meant to represent. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 04:25, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

But shouldn't we find a way to get the JMA scale in the infobox, given it was a typhoon? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:30, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
