well here is why they name everything:
Giving names to high and low pressure systems has a long tradition. Since 1954, the Institute of Meteorology of the Free University of Berlin has done so. Every single high or low that influences the (middle) European weather obtains a female or a male name. You can see them in many weather briefings in newspapers, on radios and on TV-stations.
Weather report Berliner Tagesspiegel and n-tv Fernsehen
With Adopt-a-Vortex everybody is able to participate in the naming process. This is not only for entertainment purposes, but it has a very serious reason. Adopting a vortex means to enable the continuation of the comprehensive weather and climate observation, which is carried out at the Institute of Meteorology of the Free University of Berlin, Euro by Euro.
Of course supporting this initiative does not mean that you really influence the weather itself, instead you can leave your signature on the weather charts. After the high or low has ‘died’ or vanished from the weather charts, every client of ours gets a ‘Post Mortem Documentation’ consisting of a certificate, weather chart of the ‘day of birth’ and some other individual information about his / her vortex. So give joy to yourself or loved ones!
In 2005, highs obtain female names and lows get male names. In 2006, this will change and highs will be male and lows will be female. In the following table you can see the current situation: The given names, their adopters and the ‘day of birth’. Free names are indicated by their first letters and also have the status ‘free’.
