Talk:1975 Pacific hurricane season

Unnamed Hurricane
How was this storm missed by meteorologists? They had satellites in 1975, so why wasn't it given a name even though it had an "evident eye" according to the article? This should be answered in the article. -- tomf688 {talk} 20:13, 26 October 2005 (UTC)


 * I don't know where the author got the info, although UNISYS has the storm on record and I don't doubt its existance. I'd love to see a sat photo of it, but I highly doubt one exists. Meteorologists at the time probably thought this system was just a strong polar low or severe arctic storm, as is commonplace in the Alaskan region. -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 04:08, 1 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Since the hurricane had no official name, I renamed it in the article simply as Unnamed Hurricane, just like we would in any other basin. Numbers are not officially assigned except for tropical depressions in most basins, and this guards against any changes in any future tropical cyclone reanalysis.  There were not 12 tropical cyclones in the central Pacific that year to begin with...I believe the 12 is in reference to where it formed sequentially when considering all tropical storms/hurricanes east of the dateline and north of the equator which was done out of simplicity in the code for the eastern Pacific HURDAT.  A satellite picture does exist.  If you'd like, I'll get it scanned in.  Thegreatdr 02:36, 4 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Sounds great! Hurricanehink ( talk ) 02:39, 4 June 2006 (UTC)


 * There is a hitch. The image I found was in the original Monthly Weather Review article, which is in PDF as it is.  Despite the fact this image is of government origin, the publication hasn't been directly published by the government/predecessor to the NWS in decades.  It is published by the AMS.  D'oh!

 * Damn. Oh well... Hurricanehink ( talk ) 02:52, 4 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Not all hope is lost. I'm sure the NOAA image can be requested from NCDC.  Unfortunately, the online polar orbiting archive begins in 1978.  I'll see what I can get from NCDC, unless someone beats me to it.  Thegreatdr 03:04, 4 June 2006 (UTC)


 * 1978? Very interesting. There's an existing archive that goes back to mid-way through 1983, and I thought that was as far back as it went. Yea, go for the request, and good luck. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 13:17, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Todo
Great work overall. I'm tempted to give it B-Class, but a copyedit would really help it along. Watch out for redundant words that the sentence would convey the same meaning without. Also, some of the wording gets a tad unencyclopedic, but it's not a huge deal. Good luck getting it to GA/FA. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  16:00, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Merge 1975 Pacific Northwest hurricane?
Just to get ahead of the GAR sweep, I thought I'd bring up one of the oldest articles I ever wrote on Wikipedia. Clearly the storm is unusual and notable, but it relies on HURDAT records, and the season article isn't especially long, so it could handle a merger. Further, since the unnamed hurricane had its origins from Ilsa, I think it would be logical for it to be in the season article. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 21:14, 17 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Support - The record that the hurricane is notable for isn't really that impressive and outside of that, it's completely unnotable. &#39;&#39;Flux55&#39;&#39; (talk) 21:40, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Support – No significant land impact occurred in association with the system, and no fatalities were reported. Also, there is no direct mention of its distinctiveness by secondary sources. This storm does not merit a stand-article, and the season article would benefit from the merger. Drdpw (talk) 16:01, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Notable 2003  LN  6  19:45, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Could you elaborate ? I don't think anyone is denying that it's notable enough to appear on Wikipedia. That's why it has a section in the season article. But if there enough unique content that can't fit in the season section? ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 22:11, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Farthest north hurricane in EPAC, so notable like the 2006 Central Pacific cyclone 2003  LN  6  22:24, 25 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Support While I could find some coverage, I couldn’t find any real impacts, and I think this storm could fit in the main article. 108.58.37.250 (talk) 22:35, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
