Within the Southern Pacific basin in the Southern Hemisphere between 160°E&nbsp;– 120°W, a tropical cyclone is named when observations or [[Dvorak technique|Dvorak intensity analysis]] indicate that a system has gale force or stronger winds near the centre which are forecast to continue.<ref name="SPAC TCOP"/> The [[Fiji Meteorological Service]] (FMS) names systems that are located between the Equator and 25°S, while the New Zealand [[MetService]] names systems (in conjunction with the FMS) that develop to the south of 25°S.<ref name="SPAC TCOP"/> In order to enable local authorities and their communities in taking action to reduce the impact of a tropical cyclone, the FMS reserves the right to name a system early if it has a high chance of being named.<ref name="SPAC TCOP"/> If a tropical cyclone causes loss of life or significant damage and disruption to the way of life of a community, then the name assigned to that cyclone is [[List of retired South Pacific tropical cyclone names|retired from the list of names]] for the region.<ref name="SPAC TCOP"/> A replacement name is then submitted to the next [[World Meteorological Organization]]'s RA V Tropical Cyclone Committee meeting.<ref name="SPAC TCOP"/> The name of a tropical cyclone is determined by using Lists A–D in order, without regard to the year before restarting with List A.<ref name="SPAC TCOP"/> List E contains names that will replace names on Lists A–D when needed.<ref name="SPAC TCOP"/>
