Talk:1969–70 Australian region cyclone season

Note surrounding the names

Since several of the names used in a Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone seasons pre 1980 have been lost to time, I am writing a note on each of the talkpages to explain where I got the names from. I am hoping to rediscover these names, in order to update List of historical tropical cyclone names (LOHTCN) and season articles as well as to give editors a better idea of who named what. As of April 13, 2022, LOHTCN currently shows that the names Ada, Blossom, Cindy, Dawn, Diane, Dolly, Florence, Glynis, Harriet, Ingrid, Isa, Judy, Kathy and Lulu were used in the Australian region during 1969-70. It also shows that the names Alice, Dolly, Emma, Fanny, Gillian, Helen and Isa were used in the South Pacific region, while the names Aline, Blanche, Corrine, Delphine, Eliane, Francoise, Genevieve, Hermine, Iseult, Jane, Katia, Louise and Michelle were used in the South-West Indian Ocean. The sources provided in LOHTCN are the old BoM BT Database, the Met-Mar SWIO seasonal summary, the NZMS summary; "Tropical Cyclones in the Southwest Pacific: November 1969 – May 1979", a book written by Ana Maria d’Aubert & Patrick D. Nunn entitled Furious Winds and Parched Islands, Tropical Cyclone Impacts along the Australian east coast from November to April 1858–2000 a document written by a former BoM TC forecaster: Jeff Callaghan and a book written by James P Terry entitled Tropical Cyclone Climatology and Impacts in the South Pacific. I have also managed to obtain a copy of the BoM summary: Tropical Cyclones in the Australian Region from July 1909 to June 1980. Jason Rees (talk) 14:46, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
