Project notes

[edit]

I just created this wikiproject, after several months of contemplating doing so. I hope everyone working on hurricane articles will get involved. I went ahead and wrote a bunch of guidelines, basically based on current practices...naturally since this is something I just wrote it doesn't necessarily represent community consensus and needs to be discussed. That discussion should probably go here for now...although eventually we may make these pages a little more structured. For a general TODO list, see the "tasks" item on the project page.

Requested move at Talk:Hurricane Paul (1982)#Requested move 30 Oct 2024

[edit]

There is a requested move discussion at Talk:Hurricane Paul (1982)#Requested move 30 Oct 2024 that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. Raladic (talk) 15:42, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question about reference

[edit]

Hi:

Could someone give me a reference about the "official" start aand end of the 2024–25 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season. It is said in the text: 15 November 2024 to 30 April 2025, with the exception for Mauritius and the Seychelles, for which it will end on 15 May 2025. However, I could not find a weblink to corroborate that.

Pierre cb (talk) 04:37, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The WMO RA I TCC defines the season as being from July 1 to June 30 of the following year, in line with the tropical cyclone year that is defined in the Australian and South Pacific regions. They also note, though, that certain members have defined a shorter period based on domestic needs and when disturbances are likely to influence their weather. For example, Mauritius says that the seasons run from November 1 to May 15.Jason Rees (talk) 13:25, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Track map update

[edit]

I realized that the effort to update the track maps is far from over. I wondered if we should have a task force, and maybe a recruitment drive to get editors to help. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:16, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I found this a year or so ago but I am not sure how official it is. ✶Quxyz✶ 01:13, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Adding on, I might be willing to help with updating tracks but I need to know where to access BT files and the proper software (if the above is not good). ✶Quxyz✶ 01:33, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That site is wholly unsuitable for generation due to the size of the images.--Jasper Deng (talk) 07:41, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I exclusively use it as the difference to the common eye is minimal in my honest opinion. Tavantius (talk) 16:24, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What if we had more of an incentive to make the track maps? Another user I was chatting with - TheNuggeteer (talk · contribs) - talked about having another hurricane cup next year. What if we had an editor competition, and included making track maps as one of the ways to get points? Separately, we could also have bonus points for articles about meteorology instead of single events. Just trying to find a creative solution to this problem. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:19, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure! Though I'm not sure about the Meteorology one. Maybe the participants can decide. 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 (My "blotter") 04:34, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What exactly does it take for one to generate the track maps, as in, what type of software and level of technology proficiency? Because if there's a certain software or application needed to make the track maps, then it doesn't seem fair to make it part of the Cyclone Cup if not everyone can download/have access to it.

@JayTee32: You basically need Linux (though not Android or ChromeOS), Windows Subsystem for Linux (Windows 10 or later), or Unix (including macOS). Basically all major desktop operating systems.--Jasper Deng (talk) 07:06, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JayTee32: As for proficiency: you need basic knowledge of bash (Unix).--Jasper Deng (talk) 07:13, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Paleotempestology update

[edit]

Anyone who can help update Paleotempestology with these sources? The sheer number is starting to wear me out. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 15:50, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
