Eastern North Pacific Names
 The National Hurricane Center (RSMC Miami, FL), is also responsible for the North East Pacific basin east of 140°W.
If a disturbance intensifies into a tropical storm the Center will give the storm a name from one of the six lists below. A separate set is used each year beginning with the first name in the set. After the sets have all been used, they will be used again. The 2007 set, for example, will be used again to name storms in the year 2013. Central North Pacific Names

If the last storm of the year is Cimaron, the first storm of the next year is Chebi. Directory: SiSFiles -> Schools Schools -> Ap u. S.
