Science - Meteorology / Hurricanes
Spanish term or phrase: tabla de alejamiento/acercamiento
This is taken from a Mexican hurricane emergency response plan. It is referring to the table that tracks the tail end of the tropical cyclone (alejamiento) and its front (acercamiento).

departure/approach table
Explanation:
These are tables showing the hazard level when a hurricane reaches various distances as it arrives and departs. I don't think there's any specific name for them in English - I live in a hurricane zone and I've never seen one.
