Talk:Tropical Storm Linda (1997)

Comments
The article says it was the first crosser since forrest in 1992, im fairly sure though Typhoon Manny (1993) crossed in to the NIO from the WPAC. Per:http://groups.google.com/group/sci.geo.meteorology/browse_thread/thread/693d4a465e0c6cc/542271daf5f96c87?

Also here is a copy of the IMD BT for Linda - It comes from the Excell spreadsheet that is downloadable from their site.

i was just sayin what the jtwc report said. also, jtwc has manny dissipating over the malay peninsula, so it wouldnt count. Viennaiswaiting (talk) 17:27, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
 * also, can you give me a link to the IMD report?? Viennaiswaiting (talk) 17:30, 22 March 2010 (UTC)


 * i will look in to Manny a bit further as i may off made a mistake The IMD and JMA BTs dont seem to match. Heres the Link to the IMD BT you have to click on Best Tracks Data (1990 - 2008) and open it in Excel and scroll through to the 1997 data.Jason Rees (talk) 17:53, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
 * thx bro. everything with manny makes sense. it dissipated over malay on the 16th, and maybe reformed on the 19th as BOB 5. --Viennaiswaiting (talk) 18:09, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Just to clarify, this article is not a WikiCup nomination, as all of the work was done before this year. --♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 20:06, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Renaming the page
I wonder why the page is called Tropical Storm Linda? It is neither classified as a tropical storm on the scale, and it is both a severe tropical storm and a typhoon. Destroyeraa (talk) 19:03, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
 * - WPAC severe tropical storms are simply titled "Tropical Storm X". Titles should be as precise and concise as possible. Seeing as the JMA classified it as a (S)TS, it's named TS Linda. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 19:12, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
