Naming 氣旋命名
MERBOK is the 120th name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by Malaysia, which is a kind of spotted-necked dove that is popular in the country. This name was last used in 2004.
MERBOK is currently situated within a pressure col which accounts for the slower speed projected in the next 24 hours. It will then accelerate and recurve along the western periphery of a subtropical ridge anchored near the dateline.
Current T-number: T4.0/4.0/D0.5/24 HRS
MERBOK is expected to intensify slightly due to improved outflow. It will gradually weaken and transform into an extratropical cyclone after recurvature due to lower sea temperatures and increased shear.
現時的 T 號碼: T4.0/4.0/D0.5/24 HRS
隨著輻散轉好，苗柏將稍為增強。轉向後由於海溫較低且風切轉高，苗柏將逐漸減弱，繼而轉化為溫帶氣旋。

A weakness has appeared in the ridge north of MERBOK, and is expected to deepen. MERBOK will recurve along this weakness.

A tropical disturbance NW of Wake Island gradually intensified into a tropical storm today, and was named MERBOK by the JMA before the JTWC assigned storm number 12W. At 20 HKT, MERBOK was centred about 840 km (450 NM) NW of Wake Island.
MERBOK is the 120th name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by Malaysia, which is a kind of spotted-necked dove that is popular in the country. This name was last used in 2004.
MERBOK is expected to travel WNW along the southern periphery of the subtropical ridge in the next 36 hours. A weakness is expected to be induced in the ridge later, leading to a recurvature.
